What wax do you use?

Accepted Answer

K.MARA prioritises the health of your skin whilst delivering smooth hair-free results. We achieve this by using Cirepil's professional-grade, hypoallergenic hot wax on intimate and sensitive areas. Soft wax is used on larger areas to deliver efficient, clean hair removal.

Question 4

How long does my hair need to be?

Accepted Answer

Hair should be at least ¼ inch (about the length of a grain of rice) before your waxing appointment. This optimal length allows the wax to effectively grip the hair for smooth and thorough removal. If the hair is shorter than this, waxing may be less effective and could cause discomfort or skin irritation. For clients who have recently shaved or have very fine hair, we advise waiting at least two to three weeks before booking a waxing session to achieve the best results and maintain skin health.

We maintain the highest hygiene standards to ensure a clean and safe environment, including the use of fresh disposable materials. If you have concerns about pain or sensitivity during waxing on your period, our specialist can suggest suitable alternatives or adjust the service to accommodate your needs.

Question 6

How should I prepare for my wax?

Accepted Answer

Avoid shaving or using hair removal creams for at least two weeks before your appointment.
Exfoliate gently 1-2 days prior to help prevent ingrown hairs and remove dead skin cells. Please do not exfoliate on the day of your treatment, this can cause skin irritation and added skin sensitivity.
Keep your skin clean and dry on the day of your visit. Lotions or oils can interfere with the wax. 
Wear comfortable loose clothing.
Consider scheduling your wax at a time when you are not on your menstrual cycle, as your skin may be more sensitive. 
If you are sensitive to pain, please consider taking a paracetamol 30 minutes prior to your appointment.
Avoid sun exposure and heated treatments (saunas, hot tubs, sunbeds) for a least 24 hours prior to your wax.
