What to wear to a waxing treatment

Unsure about what to wear or bring along with you to your first waxing experience? Let us give you some handy tips:

1. Comfort! Loose fitting trousers, rather than tight jeans, are ideal because you’ll easily be able to put them on immediately after a leg waxing treatment. Although your therapist will remove the wax from your skin, a few sticky areas can remain (especially if you’ve had a Hollywood or Brazilian wax), which can make it trickier to pull on skinny jeans.

2. During a bikini wax, only the hairs that fall outside of your knicker - line are removed, which means you can usually keep them on so don't wear your best knickers incase as it’s quite possible that a bit of wax might get on to your underwear while it’s being applied. Bring along a spare pair just in case but it’s not the end of the world if you don’t. You might need to remove your underwear, or be asked to pop on a pair of disposable panties, for more intimate waxing treatments, like the Hollywood bikini. Putting on a clean pair of knickers afterwards will reduce the risk of infection.

3. You could also bring your bikini bottoms if you are having a pre- holiday wax and you want to ensure your not hanging out of your bikini!

4. Wearing a strap top or a loose cotton t-shirt is perfect for underarm waxing. The area can feel slightly sore afterwards and a gentle cotton t-shirt will allow the skin to breathe until any inflammation dissipates.

5. If you are having your a half leg wax shorts or a skirt are ideal, as long are you legs are exposed past the knee cap.

6. Removing hair from the fingers and toes is a common part of a waxing treatment too. Your therapist will apply a soothing balm over the area immediately after to remove any residue so you can put your socks back on without experiencing any stickiness.
