What Alchemy is this? Where I would normally anticipate burning wax, toe curling, eye watering pain and uncomfortable soreness for hours afterwards; Instead I discovered Room to Wax and met the wonderful Latoya - not just a super experienced professional but a genuine miracle worker. So therefor not only will I be returning but I will tell everyone I know to go too… whether they NEED a wax or not!

HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ?
Waxing Q&A’s
Will it hurt?
Let’s be honest, waxing can cause some discomfort but the sensation is often described as a brief, sharp sting or as I like to say “a little spicy” — similar to a small slap your mum would give you as a child or like ripping off a plaster. This varies for each client, but with regular waxing, it becomes less.
How often should I come?
You should come every 4 weeks for repeat booking. Over time, growth will become less visible allowing more time between waxes.
What type of wax do you use on intimate areas?
I only use hot wax when waxing your intimate area, as hot wax clings to your hair and not the skin — promoting a more comfortable experience.
What shall I do to prepare for my wax before & after?
Before waxing: Exfoliate 24–48 hours before to remove dead skin cells and release trapped hair to prevent ingrown hairs. Avoid applying creams or oils before your appointment.
After waxing: Avoid heat treatments, friction, exercise, and tight clothing for 24 hours. Exfoliate after 48 hours if necessary to prevent ingrown hairs.
After waxing: Avoid heat treatments, friction, exercise, and tight clothing for 24 hours. Exfoliate after 48 hours if necessary to prevent ingrown hairs.
Can I wax in my period?
Yes! You can wax on your period, just make sure you're wearing a clean tampon. Please note you might feel a little more sensitive during this time.
Can I wax when pregnant?
Yes! Waxing while pregnant is perfectly fine. Please inform me beforehand. Keep in mind you may feel more sensitive during this time.
Can I still wax if I’ve just shaved?
I require at least 3–4 weeks of growth after shaving before waxing. Waxing too soon might leave hair behind because it's too short to grip.
What if I get an erection whilst waxing?
Please don’t worry — this is often an involuntary response to manipulation of the genitals during the waxing service and not related to sexual arousal. It will usually subside quickly. I’ll simply ask you to hold yourself out of the way, and we carry on professionally.
Shall I trim my hair before coming?
No! Please don’t trim — people often cut it too short. Just come as you are, full bush and all. I’ll trim if necessary.
How long should the hair be?
For most areas, hair should be 2–3mm long (about the length of a grain of rice). You’ll need slightly longer if you’ve been shaving between waxes.
How long will the results last?
Typically 4–6 weeks depending on your rate of hair growth and how consistently you wax.
What if I get small bumps or redness after waxing?
Totally normal after the first few waxes. It’ll usually calm down with proper aftercare. Avoid touching or picking, and exfoliate gently after 48 hours if needed.
What about sex after waxing?
No sexy time for at least 24 hours (if you can resist 😉). Give your skin time to calm down.
Can I shave between treatments?
Technically you can, but it’s not advised. Waxing pulls hair from the root for full removal — shaving disrupts this cycle and can cause ingrown hairs.
