For the removal of unwanted hair, we use a amber cream wax or a rose hard wax. There are, however a few contraindications with waxing. We will not perform waxing services if you are sunburned, or are currently using Retin-A, Acutane, or products with Alpha Hydroxy or Glycolic acid. However, we do offer a shaping (no wax) alternative in these circumstances. We ask that you do not use the sauna before waxing. Waxing appointments should not be scheduled on the same day as tanning appointments, body scrubs, or other treatments that may irritate the skin or cause hypersensitivity.

The Depilar System(TM)

In addition to our regular Waxing treatments, we now offer the Depilar System(TM) - the next generation of enzyme-based hair removal. The Depilar System(TM) uses the latest in advanced scientific research to offer an effective and affordable method for a lasting reduction of unwanted body hair for all sexes, races, hair colors, and hair types. Depending on the area of the body, an application of the Depilar System(TM) only takes a few minutes. It is painless and leaves the skin smooth and supple between treatments. Successive and regular treatments are required (depending on area) to completely treat all targeted hair. After each successive treatment the regrowth time for remaining hair will be longer and the hairs finer and easier to remove. A noticeable decrease in hair growth will be visible after the fourth treatment. Most clients will experience extended hair re-growth time on the treated area, while waxing becomes less painful and the number of hairs growing back are reduced with each treatment before disappearing all together.

To properly treat all hair follicles with the Depilar System(TM), 2-4 week intervals between treatments are recommended for the face and 4-6 week intervals for the body. The dos and don'ts for this treatment will be discussed at the time of your appointment.
