Frequently Asked Questions
Because of its popularity, we provide hot wax services for all intimate waxing needs. Hot wax is applied generously to the skin, left to dry slightly, and then gently removed. It is less painful compared to other methods as it removes hair from the roots. This technique leads to fewer ingrown hairs, less hair breakage, and longer periods between regrowth. Additionally, hot wax helps to hydrate the skin and is particularly recommended for sensitive areas.
For thicker or less sensitive skin areas like the legs, arms, back, chest, and shoulders, we recommend using strip wax. At Zen, we use the ‘Roller wax’ system for the most efficient and hygienic treatment possible. Wax is spread thinly and removed with a strip of paper.
Before applying hot wax to sensitive areas, we use essential oils as a protective layer between the wax and the skin. This allows the wax to wrap around the hair without sticking to the skin, reducing discomfort during the process. By minimising tugging, we aim to minimise pain experienced by the individual.
At Zen, we use a Hot wax system, which is designed to promote skin hydration and care for the skin with various essential-oil based ingredients. Our wax also eliminates the post-wax bumping effect on your skin that many other waxes cause. Therefore, having to do a Brazilian a good 24 hours before the hot date is now a thing of the past! Many of our clients find they leave with little or no redness to the skin.
Ideally, 5-10mm to achieve a “clean wax”. Each person’s hair growth cycle varies, but typically, we can wax areas that were shaved two weeks prior. For larger areas like arms or legs, we recommend waiting three weeks before waxing.
Basic bikini: the section outside the pant line
G-string: a little bit further in than the regular bikini, and further in underneath
Brazilian: A Brazilian wax involves removing hair from the entire bikini area except for a strip at the top. Hair is also removed from the area between the buttocks.
Hollywood: everything removed
Disposable underwear and a hygiene wipe will be provided for all intimate waxing. The therapist will leave you to allow you to change and a modesty towel will be left for you to cover the area. For the arms, legs, back, chest and underarm you will just remove clothing to reveal area and a modesty towel can be provided.
*If you prefer to wear your own underwear, keep in mind that wax and oil can leave stains on the fabric. However, they can be washed out easily. To avoid this, we recommend wearing the disposable pants provided.
Yes, you can definitely still get a bikini wax while on your period. Just make sure to wear a new tampon before your appointment, and feel free to use our restroom beforehand. As you are more delicate during this time of the month, your wax may feel slightly more sensitive.
Our treatments are designed to minimise any discomfort by using top-quality wax and skilled therapists. After the treatment, our therapists will carefully remove any wax or residue from your skin and apply a soothing aloe vera or tea tree lotion to calm and nourish your skin.
Avoid hot baths, showers, gym sessions, swimming, self-tanning, and using sunbeds for at least 24 hours after waxing. To keep your skin smooth and prevent ingrown hairs, exfoliate regularly in between waxing appointments. If you often experience ingrown hairs, we suggest using Harley Ingrown Hair Solution (£18) as after-care starting 4 days post-treatment until the hairs have fully regrown. The Ingrown Hair Solution can help reduce ingrown hairs and skin irritation post-waxing. It can also be used on other areas where you wax or shave.
