Waxing is a depilatory hair removal method where hair is removed from the follicular roots for longer lasting results.
Brow wax is the quickest way to not only flatter but flaunt your favourite features. Whether you're searching for eye opening arches or a little extra lift in your overall look, the results from this service will leave you looking polished, pretty and put-together.
What to Expect?
Eyebrow waxing starts with cleansing the brow area, and if needed, brows may be trimmed with scissors, this helps the hair to stay in place and not wander out of shape for a much cleaner look.
Then a thin layer of warm wax applied to the hairs you wish to be removed. A paper strip is placed over the top, the wax solidifies, and gentle pressure is applied to trap the individual hairs. Then, the strip is swiftly pulled away, pulling the hairs out directly from the root.
Once this is completed, a soothing after wax lotion is applied to the area.
