Wax Products
I only use Perron Rigot wax. It is a French wax and of exceptional quality. The wax removes hair efficiently and gently, minimising ingrown hairs by shrink wrapping the hairs. The wax sticks to hairs not skin!
I use five types of wax:
Hot Waxes
Hot wax is so called as it is around 37C when applied to the skin, which is the same as body temperature. It is the new generation of waxes and is not recycled nor applied in a figure of eight. Hot wax is applied in strips and 'flicked' at one end then pulled of. As the wax cools it becomes like plastic due to the synthetic resins they contain. Hot wax does not require any paper/cloth strips. If you do not wish to use strip wax I will use one of the following Hot Waxes:
-
Euroblonde
A honey-coloured translucent wax. I use this for Bikinis, Hollywood/Brazilians, and under arms. Used for all areas of the body on women and depending on skin type some body areas for men.
-
Cirépil Homme
Creamy texture, metallic blue-green colour. Its marine fragrance lends it a touch of masculine freshness. Especially suited for men's tough hair. I use this for chest, belly, back and shoulders on men. Used for all areas of the body for men.
-
Escential Rose
Is a soft creamy wax with a rose fragrance. I use this for womens facial waxing, eyebrows, cheeks, top lip, chin.
Strip Wax
The wax is applied very thinly and removed using a paper or cloth strip. The wax is warm when applied and a paper/cloth strip is applied over the top of the wax, rubbed with the palm of the hand then pulled. If you do not wish me to use hot wax on all areas I will use one of the following:
-
Cirépil Cristal Océan
A hypoallergenic strip wax. Fagrance-free, for very sensitive types of skin. Very fluid texture, transparent bluish color. Due to its fluidity it allows me to spread it very close to the hair root, making removal more gentle and more effective.
-
Cirépil greenépil
A vegetable-based wax enriched with sunflower oil, shea butter, and candelilla wax. Green colour, it has a soft texture and is applied in thin layers. It is clinically proven to have moisturizing properties. Ideal for dry skin.
To ensure your waxing experience is as comfortable as possible for you, and to ensure I get the best out of the wax, I also use Perron Rigot cleansing lotion and oil.
