Facial And Body Waxing /Aftercare advice

At The Hub, Caroline and Hanna are highly trained specialists in facial, body and intimate waxing, offering an elevated experience where expertise, discretion and comfort are paramount. Every treatment is performed with meticulous care, ensuring exceptional results in a calm, welcoming environment.

Our approach to waxing is tailored, refined and professional — designed to leave your skin beautifully smooth while prioritising your comfort and wellbeing.


A Tailored Waxing Experience

We offer two premium waxing methods, carefully selected based on your skin type, hair growth and treatment area:

  • Hot Wax

  • Strip Wax

Your therapist will guide you through the most suitable option for you, ensuring optimal results with minimal discomfort.


Understanding Hair & Skin

Vellus Hair

Vellus hair is fine, soft and lightly pigmented, commonly found on the face and arms. It plays a natural role in regulating body temperature and is generally easy to remove with minimal sensitivity.

Terminal Hair

Terminal hair is darker, thicker and more deeply rooted. It typically grows in areas such as the underarms, bikini line and intimate areas, as well as the upper lip and chin over time. Due to its density and location on more sensitive areas, expert technique and premium wax selection are essential.


Our Waxing Methods

Strip Wax

Strip waxing is ideal for larger areas of the body and offers efficient, effective hair removal.

  • Warm wax applied in a fine layer

  • Removed using professional fabric or paper strips

  • Suitable for legs, arms and backs

  • Delivers smooth results with precision

Hot Wax

Hot wax is our preferred method for intimate and sensitive areas.

  • Applied directly to the skin using a spatula

  • No strips required

  • Sets around the hair rather than the skin

  • Removes even the shortest, stubborn hairs

  • Often more comfortable for delicate areas

This method allows for superior precision and a more refined waxing experience.


Post-Treatment Care

Your comfort and skin health remain our priority after your appointment. Mild redness or sensitivity can occur and is entirely normal, especially following your first treatment. These effects typically settle within 24–48 hours.

For 24–48 hours after treatment, we recommend avoiding:

  • Hot baths and showers (use cool to lukewarm water only)

  • Saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs

  • Sun exposure, sunbeds and fake tan

  • Exercise, gym sessions and activities causing friction

  • Swimming in chlorinated pools

  • Tight or restrictive clothing

  • Applying products not recommended by your therapist

To soothe and protect the skin, apply an antiseptic cream regularly for three days following your treatment, ensuring hands are clean before application.


Maintaining Beautifully Smooth Skin

To prevent ingrown hairs and maintain flawless results:

  • Begin gentle exfoliation a few days after your appointment

  • Exfoliate 2–3 times per week using a loofah or exfoliating mitt

  • Moisturise daily to keep skin supple and hydrated

For best results:

  • Hair should be at least ½ cm long before waxing

  • Avoid shaving between appointments

  • Regular treatments every 4–6 weeks are recommended

  • Hair growth improves after 3–4 sessions, resulting in smoother, longer-lasting results


Important Notice

We kindly advise avoiding delicate or favourite clothing during your appointment. While every care is taken, we cannot accept responsibility for accidental wax or product transfer.
