Lycon products are hot and strip wax, your therapist will decide with you the best products for your lifestyle and skin, but generally hot wax is used for facial, underarm and intimate areas. It’s applied as a liquid but hardens and shrink wraps around the hairs very quickly, allowing the wax to be removed without the use of paper strips. This type of wax is so gentle, making it perfect for the delicate facial and intimate areas. Clients that have hair removed with hot wax, experience far less pain than with strip wax and because hard wax sticks only to the hair and not the skin, less redness and irritation occurs.

Leg waxing is carried out using strip wax, which is more suited to larger areas. The strip wax we use spreads ultra-fine, leaves zero residue and causes little or no irritation or redness.

How long should hair be before waxing?
At least a quarter of an inch, but for best results we recommend half an inch. If you shave regularly, then you should stop for 2 weeks prior to your appointment. If you are having a bikini wax, it’s important that your hair is not too long. This will make for a more painful experience! So, make sure hair is as the above lengths.

What do I need to do before my waxing appointment?
Exfoliate in the week leading up to your appointment. This will help prepare your skin and hair for optimum results. Do not apply creams, oils or moisturisers prior to your appointment as this will affect the effectiveness of the treatment.

What should I wear?
Loose clothing is best for your journey home, and it is best to avoid very tight-fitting clothes. A pair of disposable bikini bottoms will be supplied if you wish to use them.
