With home waxing kits, you’ll undoubtedly miss one or two spots like the back, the backs of the legs, and other sensitive areas. But the waxing specialists at Aroma Waxing and Laser Clinic can get rid of unwanted hair in just one visit with our cream wax made only for us, while it might take you a few tries at home. Waxing at a professional clinic with years in the business saves not only trouble but also a lot of time.

Wax Your Hair, EVERYWHERE

The best thing about the waxing hair removal is that it saves SO MUCH time. When you shave, you must buy blades, shave areas, just to do it again in a few days. You can even feel the hair grow back the very next day! When you use an old-fashioned method like shaving to get rid of hair, you might miss some spots, and it can make hair grow wrong in places like the back and ankle. Going back to shaving over the same spots takes time and is annoying. Compared to other hair removal methods, such as surface hair removal methods like shaving, waxing provides longer-lasting smooth skin similar to root hair removal methods. So, it’s best to go to a waxing clinic such as Aroma Waxing and Laser clinic for one of the most popular hair removal service – waxing.

Benefits of Waxing: Why You SHOULD

You may be wondering whether you need to get wax at all in the first place. We want to tell you that waxing has A LOT of benefits for your skin to remove unwanted hairs and leave your skin feeling smooth! These include:

What Kind of Wax Should You Use?

There are a lot of different wax types that exist, and you may be confused about which one you should opt for! The secret is that – different areas may benefit from different types of waxes. For instance, soft wax is a silky wax that sticks to both your dead skin and hair, and along with taking off the hairs, it exfoliates your skin and takes off the top layer of skin tissue. This type of wax is great for large body parts like the arms, legs, and back.

The type of wax you may be more familiar with may be hard wax. If you have seen people melt colourful wax pellets in heating pots on social media, then most likely they are using hard wax. Although hard wax is great for areas like the ears and nose where the skin is incredibly sensitive and may be slightly less painful, it is not the best option for most areas of the body because it can break the hairs easily and not pull them from the root as efficiently. This can lead to uneven growth of your hair and possible ingrowns if not done properly!

At Aroma Waxing and Laser Clinic, we have a specially Toronto-made cream wax (made with part soft and part hard wax) that leaves your skin feeling smooth and silky but also removing all the hairs without breakage! It also makes us incredibly speedy and fast, so your hair will be gone fast and quick.

 

BEFORE GOING TO A WAXING SPA

To ensure that you have the best results and experience, there are some pre-cautions and pre-care techniques that may help you! These include:

Body Scrubbing and Exfoliating

Before going to waxing appointment, it is beneficial to shower with a natural exfoliate like a sugar scrub or a dry brush 24 hours before you get a wax. Scrubbing your skin gets rid of the dead skin cells, and it helps keep your skin pleasant and silky. This also helps the wax adhere to your hair well and take off your hair. However, you want to make sure that you are not exfoliating too close to your appointment! This may make your skin too sensitive and make the process unnecessarily painful.

Numbing Free Creams

It’s okay to fear the pain of waxing! If you’re worried that waxing won’t be very pleasant, take a Tylenol or Motrin around an hour before the initial consultation. Also, some lotions and balms numb the skin and you could indeed put them on 15 minutes before your waxing appointment if you need.

Long Hair Length

If you’ve never waxed before, you should let your hair grow past at least a quarter inch in length. Having a little more length will make it easier and more effective for you because the waxing will go faster, you won’t have to pluck as much, and the hairs are easier to pull out. Also, if the hairs are too short, it may not be possible to do the service as the wax needs the hair to grip onto. If you’re unsure about whether your hair is long enough, you can check to make sure that the hair is long enough to pinch between your fingers.

If you have recently shaved, you should wait at least 3 weeks before you come for a wax, so your hair has time to grow long enough. At the same time, if you have very long hair, that can make the wax painful and hard to do! If you have very long hair, trimming them to the perfect length would be incredibly beneficial for the technicians and you, as it would a lot less painful!

AFTER THE WAX: Preventing Ingrown Hairs

Taking care of your skin after waxing is CRUCIAL! Here are some tips to make sure you are ready to have the best, long-lasting results! We also have a downloadable Before/After Guide on our website for you to have handy whenever you’d like!

Wear Loose Garments

Anything that fits too tightly can rub and hurt recently waxed areas that are usually a bit sore afterwards. Give your body a break for a few days, and wear maxi dresses, loose pants, and cotton fabrics that let air pass!

Skincare

For the first few days after getting waxed, use body washes and creams that are gentle and don’t have any scent to make sure your skin is not left irritated! Your skin is very sensitive, so make sure to treat it as such and avoid harsh products. Consider using products enriched with aloe vera to soothe and moisturize your skin, helping to calm irritation and reduce redness.

Stay Out of Water

You want to make sure you avoid swimming soon after your waxes, especially in bacteria-filled indoor pools and large bodies of water. If you don’t, you might be more likely to get sick!

Avoid Sun Exposure After Visit at Waxing Spa

In the 48 hours after waxing, your skin, especially around your bikini area, is even more sensitive than before. So, if you’re planning on sunbathing on a week-long vacation, make sure to book your waxes well in advance to avoid any hyperpigmentation or sensitivity!

No Extreme Workouts

Running, aerobics or cycling can cause friction in freshly waxed areas, and sweating can irritate them further. In other words, this is an excellent reason to stay in bed for a few days. You deserve a break!

Wrapping It Up

Removing your hair with waxing is a tried-and-true method for having the smoothest skin you possibly can, however, it is also something that requires careful consideration. Because waxing your hair for the first time is a big decision, you should opt for the best waxing clinic to offer these services to top-notch satisfaction. At Aroma Waxing and Laser Clinic, we have expert technicians with years of experience who are ready to service you, whether this is your first wax or if you’re a seasoned client!

FAQs

Which is a better for the skin: cream wax or sugar wax?

Both get the same job done – take the hairs out from the root and leave you with smooth skin. However, if you have more sensitive skin and prefer natural ingredients, sugaring may be better for you!

Which is the best hair removal method to remove body hair?

The best method to remove body hair varies based on individual preferences and factors like skin sensitivity and desired results. Common hair removal methods include root hair removal methods, such as waxing and laser hair removal, which offer longer-lasting smooth skin, and surface hair removal methods, like shaving and depilatory creams, which require more frequent application. Techniques like threading and waxing are particularly effective for sensitive areas like the upper lip, and specific aftercare recommendations can help soothe the skin post-treatment. If you are looking for semi-permanent hair removal, laser is the best!

Can you permanently remove body hair?

Laser hair removal can provide long-lasting results by reducing hair growth, but complete and permanent removal of body hair may not be achievable with current technologies. Maintenance sessions may be required for optimal results.

Is it good to remove body hair?

The decision to remove body hair is a personal choice and varies among individuals. Factors such as cultural norms, personal preferences, and comfort levels influence whether one chooses to remove body hair.

Can Vaseline remove unwanted body hair?

Vaseline is not a hair removal method; it is a moisturizing product. It does not have the ability to remove unwanted body hair.

How can I stop body hair naturally?

Natural methods to reduce body hair growth include spearmint tea, turmeric, sugar and honey scrub, and exfoliation. These methods may help slow down hair growth over time.


I believe everyone deserves to feel smooth and confident and fabulous. Without exception! With the latest laser technology at the helm, we can now say, 'Yes, we've got you covered!' Well, uncovered, technically. Smooth skin for all, one zap at a time!
