To maintain the highest standards of hygiene and safety, we have a strict no double dipping policy to prevent any cross contamination. The wax specialist wears gloves for the entirety of the treatment. Equipment and beauty bed are cleaned and disinfected between each client.

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.

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.

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.

Apply a soothing moisturizer or aloe vera gel to calm any redness and prevent dryness. Wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce friction on the treated area. Avoid using perfumed products or exfoliants for 48 hours to minimize irritation. It is normal for your skin to be red and feel slightly sensitive due to the hair removal process.
