Who Is Waxing Me Pretty

Never heard of Waxing Me Pretty before or not sure what we stand for?

Founded in 2014 by Anju Bedi, Waxing Me Pretty has a mission to provide high-quality waxing treatments to every female in a professional and clean environment. Waxing Me Pretty has a particular expertise in the delicate art of female intimate waxing in Cheltenham.

Wouldn’t Life be Great if You Had Smoother Skin with Minimal Effort?

Imagine if you never had to worry again about coarse, thick, itchy stubble or shaving rash on your legs, around your bikini line and under your arms? Wouldn’t it be lovely to be able to enjoy that feeling of soft, smooth, hair-free skin for weeks on end as opposed to days (or even hours) – after you’ve shaved?

If you’re someone who regularly removes your unwanted body hair, you’ve probably considered other options. Problem is, laser hair removal is so expensive, especially considering that it doesn’t usually last forever. Hair removal creams can burn your skin – and smell awful! And razors – well, the less said about them the better! They leave you with fast-growing and uncomfortable stubble, even MORE hair than you started off with, as well as embarrassing and unsightly shaving rashes.

Waxing is a great solution because it takes far less time, is affordable, and helps you achieve finer, softer, hair so that you never have to deal with itchy stubble again.

Feel the Difference a Specialist in Waxing Makes

Our flawless waxing treatments will leave you looking and feeling your best and have you coming back for more.

Our Mission Is To Make You Feel Comfortable & Confident In Your Own Skin

Imagine a waxing experience that’s as comfortable as possible, both physically and emotionally. An experience that doesn’t just end when you leave your appointment, but that helps to set you in a routine that will give you the best possible hair removal results over time.

Our hygienic studio in Cheltenham staffed by an expert, caring, and non-judgemental waxing therapist who use the very best products available on the market for waxing treatments.

Combined with their unrivalled expertise in waxing techniques (especially when it comes to the delicate art of female intimate waxing), this is a formula for waxing success! That’s why we have so many happy, repeat customers who trust us with removing their hair.

Why Settle For A Generalist Beauty Salon When You Can Have A Smoother, More Comfortable Experience At Waxing Me Pretty? What Sets Us Apart From Other Salons?

We specialise in waxing treatments for women

Rather than spread ourselves too thin by offering every beauty treatment under the sun, we’ve perfected the art of quick, minimally-painful waxing.

We go above and beyond to help you achieve the results you desire

We understand that waxing is a process and that you need to follow a certain routine to get the best possible results. That’s why our helpful therapists advise you on aftercare products to use and practices to follow to get the longest-lasting smooth skin.

So why do we do what we do? Simply because we want to give you the confidence that comes from looking and feeling your very best.

And why should you wax, you may well ask? There is only ever one answer to that, which is that it’s your body and you can wax if you want to! If you want it all off, we’ll take it all off. If you want to keep it all on and just have a little tidy up around the sides, that’s cool with us too.

If you like your legs hairy and your underarms smooth, we can do that and if you’ve got no problem with your hairy moustache we acn do that.

So whatever you have – or haven’t got – going on down there – or anywhere else – and whatever shape, size, gender or type you are, rest assured that no one at waxing me pretty cheltenham will ever judge, balk or be fazed. All we want, when all said and done, is to help make you feel better about yourself.

So now you know a bit more about who waxing me pretty is and why we do what we do.

You Name It, We’ve Waxed It

Unwanted body hair (especially in intimate and private areas) can be a sensitive topic. It’s perfectly natural to feel shy, embarrassed, or scared when exposing your body to someone you don’t know. That’s where the unique skills of our highly-trained, kind, and compassionate waxing specialists come in. Our therapists will put you at ease with their expert, non-judgmental, and professional approach to treatments.

We’ve been removing hair from all body parts for people of all ages, sizes, ethnicities, and genders (no matter how you identify!) for many years now. 

Unlike generalist beauty salons you may have tried before, at waxing me pretty, waxing is what we do all day, every day.

Our clients tell us how comfortable they feel from the moment they step into our spotless studio and meet our
friendly and welcoming staff. You’ll be delighted by how efficient yet thorough your therapist is at removing
your hair with minimal pain and minimum fuss. All while treating you with complete dignity and respect.

For Pain-Free And Successful Waxing, Consistency Is Key

You wouldn’t expect immediate results from a single session at the gym. In the same way, you need to gradually train your hair into a regular growth cycle to get the best out of waxing both in terms of minimising pain and staying smoother for longer.

That’s why we guide you through 4 appointments over 4 months with the Wax Virgin Programme. Once you start to follow a routine, your hair does too. And once your hair growth cycle is in a good routine, you will start to stay smoother, for longer, in between appointments. That’s why if you want to enjoy smooth, hair-free skin for as long as possible in the summer, we recommend you follow a regular waxing routine all year round.

Another huge benefit of regular waxing is that it hurts less the more you do it! Trust us – waxing 4 to 5 week regrowth is quicker and hurts far less than waxing 6 to 8 week regrowth.

Don’t Let Previous Waxing Experiences Get You Down

If you’ve had a waxing experience in the past that was unbearably painful or gave bad results (like noticing hair growing back too quickly or suffering from ingrowns), it was likely due to inferior techniques, products or aftercare advice.

At waxing me pretty, our therapists use the correct type of wax for the type of hair being removed and are skilled at pulling hairs from the root, not just snapping them at the surface. We also teach you the best ways to keep your open hair follicles clean post-wax and advise you on aftercare practices and products to use at home for the best results.

So there you have it, If you have anything else at all that you’d like to ask us prior to your first time at Waxing Me Pretty, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch, either by calling us on 07544563471 or by email: hello@waxingmeprettycheltenham.com Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you for your first wax very soon!

Bikini Waxes 101

If you've just booked your first bikini wax, you're probably wondering what happens next. waxing the bikini area can be a more effective hair removal method than, shaving.

if you've never had one done before (trust us, we've been there). So put your worries to rest. Here is everything you can expect during your bikini wax.

What Is a Bikini Wax?

IT'S EASY TO GET CONFUSED BY ALL THE DIFFERENT INTIMATE WAX STYLES AND SALON LINGO. BUT DON'T WORRY, BECAUSE WE'RE MAKING THINGS SO MUCH SIMPLER.

Now you can find out what all the names, shapes and techniques mean, plus you get to see 'em recreated in glittery sequin style. 

1 Au natural - Before we get all waxy with ya, let's be clear, there is nada wrong with leaving things down there 100% au natural. There's no pressure to play around with your pubes if you don't want to, but if you do, these are some of the best styles and shapes to try...

2 Basic Bikini - Ideal for a first time waxer, the basic bikini line touch up is exactly as the name would suggest, a tidy up around the edges. A good option if you want to keep things on the natural side, but prefer a little more definition. Hair is removed from anywhere outside of a modest panty line - so around the tops of thighs and any hair above your knickers.

3 Extended bikini - Similarly to the above, the extended bikini wax is still nice 'n' natural, but with a little more of a neaten up around the top and sides of your pubes. This is usually referred to as a extended bikini line on most salon menus. You can keep your knickers on when you have this one done.

4 G String - A G string wax differs from other styles like a Brazilian as most of the hair is taken from around the front, sides and back, but the middle (labia) is left alone. If you want down there to be smooth and clean of hair, without feeling too bare, a g string wax is the way to go.

5 Brazilian wax - Brazilian waxes are one of the most popular options when it comes to primping ya pubes. Unlike the G string version, when you go Brazilian they take the hair off the top and sides of the bikini line, but also all the way under and around the back, too. (Yep, that means around your bum). If you want to feel totally smooth and hairless, go Brazilian.The shape of the hair at the front is totally up to you, but the landing strip is a classic option. Other popular shapes include a tiny triangle and a postage stamp, but feel free to ask for whatever style you prefer

6 The Hollywood - The Hollywood. This leaves you with no hair, nothing, nada, zip, zero… catch our drift? So be prepared to take your knickers off and don't be embarrassed to get into some yoga-esque poses so your waxer can get everywhere, remember it's nothing they haven't seen before.

What is the proper way to prep your skin for a wax?

1. Grow your hair to about 1/4 inch in length. If it's too short, the wax may not effectively attach to the hair follicle.

2. Exfoliate the areas you're having waxed. It's important to buff away dead skin cells to avoid clogged pores and ingrown hairs. Your last exfoliation should be at least one day before the wax treatment.

3. Moisturise your skin properly until the day before the wax to keep the area hydrated (and after to keep your skin looking fabulous, of course)

Never Shave Between Waxes

The biggest mistake even the most seasoned clients is making is shaving between waxes. "This seems like a quick fix for stubble, but shaving only removes hair at skin level, so it reappears in one to four days, and over time the skin itself becomes coarse. The detriments of shaving are countless, especially if you're trying to reap the benefits of waxing. With regular waxing, hair may eventually become finer and grow more slowly, increasing your time between waxes and reducing the appearance of hair. If you shave between your appointments, "by continually cutting the hair, you are, in fact, stimulating its growth, encouraging the hair to grow back faster, thicker, coarser, and fuller, resulting in more hair growing from each pore. Furthermore, every time you shave you risk getting nicks, cuts, razor burn, and ingrown hairs, aggravating the skin and increasing its risk of infection.

7 Things No One Ever Tells You About Waxing

Regardless of whether you're a first-timer or even a seasoned client, when it comes to waxing hair removal you're guaranteed to have some questions.

If you've never had your hair removed from your body, you're bound to be equal parts curious and cautious about what to expect before booking your first appointment. If you're a waxing regular, you probably still wonder about the real rules and best practices for prep and post wax maintenance.

Even though it's common practice, so much about the hair-removal practice is still shrouded in mystery. With so many conflicting dos and don’t for waxing. it can be hard to sift through to find the facts. To get to the truth about waxing, Here we share everything you've wanted to know about waxing but have been too afraid to ask.

Length Is Key

For the best waxing experience, the  length of hair is key. This is especially important for first-timers, who in a way are going into the process blind. "For maximum results, it is ideal to grow hair out to at least one cm before going in for your first wax." Depending on where you're getting waxed, you can either trim hair the two weeks before or shave 4 weeks  in advance so that hair grows to this optimum length for your appointment date. Once you've begun waxing, book your appointments in conjunction with your hair growth, typically every four weeks.

Never Shave Between Waxes

The biggest mistake even the most seasoned clients is making is shaving between waxes. "This seems like a quick fix for stubble, but shaving only removes hair at skin level, so it reappears in one to four days, and over time the skin itself becomes coarse. The detriments of shaving are countless, especially if you're trying to reap the benefits of waxing. With regular waxing, hair may eventually become finer and grow more slowly, increasing your time between waxes and reducing the appearance of hair. If you shave between your appointments, "by continually cutting the hair, you are, in fact, stimulating its growth, encouraging the hair to grow back faster, thicker, coarser, and fuller, resulting in more hair growing from each pore. Furthermore, every time you shave you risk getting nicks, cuts, razor burn, and ingrown hairs, aggravating the skin and increasing its risk of infection.

Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate Often and moisturise 

How you take care of your skin before and after waxing has a tremendous impact on the results. Exfoliating is a must. Keeping your skin moisturised will ensure healthy, hydrated skin. Hydration is also key, especially in winter when hair is dry and may be more likely to break when waxing. Breakage causes hair "to grow back faster and thicker. So you want to keep skin hydrated and healthy at all times." Exfoliating is just as important.  By exfoliating with an exfoliating body brush you are removing dead skin and helping to prevent ingrown hairs in the process.

Do Your Homework

UNLIKE MOST BEAUTY SALONS WHICH COULD BE CONSIDERED JACKS OF ALL TRADES BUT MASTERS OF NONE, WAXING ME PRETTY CHELTENHAM WAXING THERAPISTS DEVOTE THEIR ENTIRE DAYS TO WAXING HAIR REMOVAL.

OUR SPECIALIST SKILLS MEAN THAT YOUR WAXING ME PRETTY CHELTENHAM WAX WILL BE QUICKER, CAUSE YOU LESS DISCOMFORT AND GIVE YOU BETTER RESULTS THAN WAXES FROM GENERALIST BEAUTY SALONS, WHICH DO NOT TYPICALLY EMPLOY EXPERTS.

You should not have to ask for thoroughness - experts do this everyday so just leave the intimate waxing to them. 

Timing Is Everything

Keeping the correct timing between waxes ensures the best results and can also help with planning for specific events. First, it's important that you maintain your routine waxing schedule year-round. Even if winter months have you worrying less about leg hair, if you take a hiatus while you're bundled up you'll be reversing your progress come spring and have to start all over again. Second, if you're scheduling waxing appointments to coincide with particular times you'll need to be hairless, f you're planning a winter or holiday getaway, it's best to come in for a waxing service as close to your trip as possible—ideally 2 to 3 days before leaving. This ensures your skin will continue to look and feel great for your entire vacation as the grow back period is typically between 4 weeks.

Don't Forget SPF

Your skin may be extra sensitive after a wax, so it's even more important that you make sure to lather up with sunscreen (something you should be practicing whether or not you're waxing). Using sun protection is always recommended year-round, and it is especially important during the first 24 hours after waxing to avoid redness and irritation. Just because the sun isn't out, doesn't mean it's okay to skimp on the sunscreen. People often forget about sunscreen in the winter, but your skin is just as vulnerable to a burn even when the temperatures drop."

Leave It to the Professionals

Though there are many at-home waxing kits on the market, Waxing is one treatment you must always leave to the professionals. We believe that a wax should never be performed at home for many obvious reasons, including the risk of a severe burn, DIY wax is also not designed for sensitive skin, and without a trained professional, you risk removing skin with the hair—in some cases even up to two layers of skin." Ouch!

Everything you need to Know About Waxing. Just in time for bikini season.

ALL THE SHAPES AND CONFUSING SALON LINGO, EXPLAINED FROM WAXING ME PRETTY CHELTENHAM.

FROM A LANDING STRIP TO AU NATURAL, OUR FRONT FLUFF IS A THING TO BE CHERISHED. HERE'S HOW TO HAVE SOME FUN WITH YOURS, IF YOU FANCY.

It's easy to get confused by all the different INTIMATE wax styles and salon lingo. But don't worry, because we're making things so much simpler.

SUMMER WILL BE HERE SOON. SO MANY OF US ARE TRYING TO GET OUR BODIES SOFT, SMOOTH AND HAIR-FREE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NO HAIR REMOVAL METHOD IS WITHOUT ITS DOWNSIDES - SHAVING DOESN'T LAST LONG ENOUGH.

IN OUR SEARCH FOR A PAIN-FREE HAIR REMOVAL SOLUTION FOLLOW THE GUIDE BELOW.

Why can waxing be painful?
There can be several reasons for a painful waxing experience such as a therapist who has not been properly trained, using the incorrect type of wax on an area or not prepping the skin. The way the wax is applied is a key factor in how much pain a person will experience. Also it is very important to remove the wax correctly and for the therapist to apply pressure on the area once the wax is removed, which will help minimise the pain a client might feel. 

The big waxing no-no!
Some salons use strip wax in sensitive areas, which is a complete no-no. Avoid at all costs. Only use hot wax for the sensitive areas. In fact, It’s a more pliable wax that is easier to work with as it does not break and is super gentle on the skin. It contains special soothing and calming properties that makes waxing completely gentle.

Why is waxing better than other forms of hair removal?
Waxing is cheap and it is actually a very pleasant experience. It stunts the hair growth. It is quick and you can instantly be hairless. 

Are you very anti-shaving?
Yes I am very anti-shaving. I always find even after just one shave, clients have much stronger hair growth, which makes waxing more painful.  

What’s your advice for people who have never tried waxing before?
Go to a qualified and experienced waxing therapist. Find out if they are using a quality wax. Make sure they use only hot wax for sensitive areas, such as the face, intimate areas and underarms. Also find out what they use before and after waxing. They should use specific pre and post waxing lotions.

What causes ingrown hairs?
Various things can cause ingrown hairs. Once a hair is removed from the follicle, the hair grows back and by the time the hair grows to the skin surface, the follicle can be blocked by dead skin cells. As the hair grows back with a point, it is a weaker hair, so it may not be able to push through the skin surface. In this case the hair might grow back downward within the follicle and become an ingrown hair. If this happens, the hair is then a foreign body in the follicle, simply because it did not grow out through the skin and it can get infected.  

How can we prevent them? Exfoliate, exfoliate, and exfoliate! Exfoliating your skin is the best way to prevent ugly bumps and stubborn ingrown hairs; before and after your wax. There are many ways to exfoliate but at Waxing Me Pretty, we feel that dry exfoliating works the best! Using a dry or slightly damp soft-bristled brush, gently move in a circular motion around the waxed area. This is a great and aggressive way to remove dead skin cells, rejuvenate and renew the skin. This should be done before your wax and two days following your wax, as your skin will be a little sensitive.

WELL, UNLIKE MOST BEAUTY SALONS WHICH COULD BE CONSIDERED JACKS OF ALL TRADES BUT MASTERS OF NONE, WAXING ME PRETTY WAXING THERAPISTS DEVOTE THEIR ENTIRE DAYS TO HAIR REMOVAL.

OUR SPECIALIST SKILLS MEAN THAT YOUR WAXING ME PRETTY WAX WILL BE QUICKER, CAUSE YOU LESS DISCOMFORT AND GIVE YOU BETTER RESULTS THAN WAXES FROM GENERALIST BEAUTY SALONS, WHICH DO NOT TYPICALLY EMPLOY EXPERTS.

FURTHERMORE, WE’LL MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET THE BEST RESULTS FOR WEEKS AFTER YOUR TREATMENT THANKS TO THE DETAILED AFTERCARE ADVICE YOU WILL RECEIVE FROM OUR FRIENDLY AND KNOWLEDGEABLE THERAPIST.

It’s my Body and I’ll Wax if I Want To

We recognise that for many of our clients, having unwanted hair on certain body points is an extremely sensitive and emotive issue. Therefore, while we like to have fun with our business and our branding where we can, we also take the issue of hair removal extremely seriously. We take pride in the sheer professionalism that all of our therapist show and the compassionate, non-judgmental approach every single one of them takes to waxing.

Why should you wax, you may well ask?

The answer to that is very simple. It’s your body and you can wax if you want to! You should never wax, on the other hand, because someone else (or society) expects you too. And we’re not going to tell you that having a wax is cleaner, more hygienic, or give you a list of any other reasons why you should have one, because we don’t believe in that stuff.

This means that if you want it absolutely all off, we’ll take it all off. If you want to keep it all on and just have a little tidy up round the sides, that’s cool with us too. If you like your legs hairy and your underarms smooth, we can do that, and if you’ve got no problem with your moustache but want an Hollywood / Brazilian, then that’s what we’ll happily provide. And you can rest assured that whatever you have (or haven’t got) going on down there – or anywhere else – and whatever shape, size, or type you are, no one at Waxing Me Pretty will ever judge, balk or be fazed.

All we want, when all is said and done, is to help make you feel good about yourself.

Choose a skilled waxer. All salons offer waxing but not all of them do it well. An intimate wax should not be intimidating or painful. Go to a therapist who has had specific training - shockingly most therapists have had no proper training in intimate waxing. 

At Waxing Me pretty we are professionally trained in intimate waxing to industry standards. Recognised and accredited from BABTAC as award winning waxing experts in female body waxing and intimate waxing with qualification and certificates available.

Warning  / Alarm bells! If you experience any of the following at your waxing salon this is not acceptable! Any discomfort or absolute agony during or 3 days after your waxing service, rip skin, bleeding vagina, blood in your knickers, burnt, blistering sore skin. This is all unacceptable. If this is what you experience go elsewhere. You do not need to experience this from an professional intimate waxer.

You should not have to ask for thoroughness - experts do this everyday so just leave the intimate waxing to them. 

So there you have it, If you have anything else at all that you’d like to ask us prior to your first time at Waxing Me Pretty, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch, either by calling us on 07544563471or by email: hello@waxingmeprettycheltenham.com Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you for your first wax very soon!

How do I find a professional waxer in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

Whether you're nervous for your first appointment, are gearing up for your second visit with a few questions,

or a regular. Here are a few things you need to keep in mind before hopping on the intimate waxing specialist \ experts waxing table.

Intimate waxes should not be complicated or something to fear, but because the act of getting one is so intimate and personal, we tend to overthink the entire process. Whether it's your first time or you’re a pro, the idea of opening your legs to a stranger (or the kind of acquaintance you only see for an hour every four weeks) can admittedly be nerve-wracking for anyone. Honestly really it doesn't have to be a big deal — really. Here are the answers to every single question you may have, whether you're a newbie or a regular waxer.

BUT LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT WHY WAXING BEATS SHAVING WHEN IT COMES TO COMPARING EACH PROCESS…

Waxing removes dead skin cells
Waxing not only removes hair, it also exfoliates your skin. When you pull out the wax from your skin, it takes away dead cells and leaves a brand-new layer of skin. This is why the body or face feels so smooth after waxing.

Long-lasting results
Shaving doesn’t entirely remove hair, it just cuts off the hair shaft, which is only the visible part of the hair on the surface of the skin. But hairs are much longer than that; they grow from the hair follicle deep in the dermis (layer of skin below the epidermis). That’s the reason why after shaving, fuzz grows back so quickly, in just one-week hairs are visible again. On the other hand, waxing does remove hairs from the root; therefore, it takes a lot longer for hairs to grow back!

Hairs might cease to grow
Waxing mercilessly pulls hairs out from the root; this action weakens the hair follicles, and therefore, hairs grow back but are less strong. Over time, if you wax on a regular basis, hairs might actually stop growing because the hair follicle is too damaged to work properly.

Hairs grow back thinner
Given that waxing weakens the hair follicles, sometimes hairs start to grow much thinner, and they become easier to pull out – the procedure even gets less painful!

Smoother outcome
The final result after a waxing session is much smoother and attractive than any other kind of shaving method, especially because the hair is pulled out from the root.

No more itching
Itchy legs, armpits, or pubic areas are a common problem for women and men even right after shaving. With waxing, this could be prevented by using the crème de la crème of all waxes from product manufacturer who have over 30 years of innovation. We use the only hot wax and strip wax worth taking your clothes off for. Our wax is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive. We believe that using vegan ingredients which are healthier, more natural, rich in active ingredients and free from chemicals are healthier for our bodies.that are made to treat and prevent side effects.

No more cuts
You can say goodbye to razors and unintentional cuts on your skin. When shaving, you can seriously harm yourself when the blades are too sharp or if you’re not paying attention to what you’re doing.

Fast yet better results
We won’t lie, shaving will always be the fastest way to remove hair, and you can get hairless legs, for example, in just ten minutes. However, waxing doesn’t require much time either, and for the little extra time you’re spending, you will get much better results.

HERE AT WAXING ME PRETTY CHELTENHAM WE BELIEVE WAXING ISN’T SOMETHING YOU DO NOW AND AGAIN AS A LUXURY, IT SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR BODY MAINTENANCE ROUTINE. 

it’s certainly not just a vanity thing. We believe it makes you feel better, inside and out – knowing how good we look underneath makes us all feel more confident on the outside.

We all wax for different reasons. Some of us are all for a regular wax, others are more for occasions such as holidays, weddings etc.  but we believe regular waxing has many benefits. From the physical effect of softer, smoother skin for longer, without the need of shaving to the mental effects of feeling more confident in yourself. Some people wax as part of their beauty regime, some for more medical or medicinal reasons. Those who have excessive hair growth on certain parts of their body can suffer from low self-esteem. A regular wax can rectify this and leave the customer feeling more confident in their appearance. Please do talk to us if your waxing needs are of a more sensitive nature. We will help you plan a course of treatment to suit your individual needs.

Also becoming a regular wax er reaps its own rewards! Each time you get waxed, more hair is brought into line in the same growth cycle, as the hair is removed, resetting it back to the growth stage. After that second or third regular treatment, when all your follicles are towing the line and pushing the hair out at the same time, you’ll find your treatment leaves you smoother than ever before and for longer.

Pregnancy Waxing is safe

You might be wondering, if pregnancy waxing is safe. Yes, with WAXING ME PRETTY CHELTENHAM. You are totally safe.

There is no evidence that waxing is unsafe during pregnancy. But it is really important that you cooperate with us and follow our advice. 

The benefits of intimate pregnancy waxing.

Avoiding shaving rashes and cuts from razor 

Avoiding being shaved by midwife at the hospital

First things first…
Please note that we only perform pregnancy intimate waxing between 12 weeks and up to 38 weeks of pregnancy due to insurance policy restrictions.

Post pregnancy.

Question: I’ve just had a baby, when can I have my next intimate waxing treatment?

Answer: This is a very common question asked by soon-to-be and new mothers. The most important factor before any treatment is done is that you are comfortable and that the treatment chosen is suitable for the moment. In some cases it may be better for you to wait a little longer before having the treatment. It is so important to acknowledge your concerns and also let you to decide if you want to wait a little longer before having your first treatment. Your comfort and trust is vital in ensuring that you continue to have a positive waxing experience. As for when you can have your first intimate waxing post-pregnancy depends on the type of birth.

If you had a natural birth, it is generally safe to have the first intimate wax after eight (8) weeks from giving birth. This includes all the types of intimate waxing, from a classic bikini to a Hollywood. Eight (8) weeks generally allows the new mother to have a good time to recover and heal. 

If you had a C-section, it is also possible to have the first intimate wax eight (8) weeks after giving birth. Extra care is needed when working near and around the area of the scar. And because hair does not grow on scars, it does not need to be touched. In all cases, we will maintain a continual dialogue with you during the treatment to check how you are feeling and if there is any unusual discomfort.

If you have had a tear or episiotomy during childbirth, it is advised to wait six until it’s fully healed before committing to a full Hollywood wax (all off). In order to do a full intimate wax like a Hollywood, the scar needs to be fully healed and not cause you any issues. In the meantime, you can have a bikini and extended bikini wax if need be.

Everything a Bride Needs to Know About Waxing for Her Wedding Day

Let's face it: It just might feel like we shave more often than the average woman, spend more on hair removal, and have a need to tend to a particularly pesky ‘moustache.

So, on your big day I thought you should be armed with some need-to-know tips about waxing from a pro at Waxing Me Pretty CHELTENHAM.

Why is waxing the most ideal form of hair removal for a bride's wedding day? Waxing removes hair for a longer period of time and with better results than any other method. It removes the hair at the root and not just at skin level and typically lasts anywhere from three to six weeks—just what you need for your wedding day and honeymoon.

Which form of waxing is best and why? Hot wax! It is a Hypoallergenic applied at body temperature. It opens the pores slowly and moisturises.

Why is waxing the most ideal form of hair removal for a bride's wedding day?

Waxing removes hair for a longer period of time and with better results than any other method. It removes the hair at the root and not just at skin level and typically lasts anywhere from three to six weeks—just what you need for your wedding day and honeymoon.

Which form of waxing is best and why?

Hot wax! It opens the pores slowly and moisturises the skin, allowing the wax to gently remove the hair.

How soon before your wedding day should you get a wax and why?

If you have never waxed the area before. We recommend to have a trial wax, I would recommend doing so one month prior to your wedding day. This allows you time to rehydrate your skin for a more effective wax just before your wedding day for a longer period of smooth skin through your honeymoon.

Prior to wedding day book two to three days before the big day is ideal. 

What is the proper way to prep your skin for a wax?

1. Grow your hair to about 1/4 inch in length. If it's too short, the wax may not effectively attach to the hair follicle.

2. Exfoliate the areas you're having waxed. It's important to buff away dead skin cells to avoid clogged pores and ingrown hairs. Your last exfoliation should be at least one day before the wax treatment.

3. Moisturize your skin properly until the day before the wax to keep the area hydrated (and after to keep your skin looking fabulous, of course).

What are some things you shouldn't even think about doing before your wedding?

There are lots of rules. If you tan often, have a wax first, then allow a day or two before soaking up some sun. Though microdermabrasion does remove dead skin cells, which is ideal before you wax, allow about two days before waxing to allow the skin to heal. If you are having any chemical treatment or using a topical acne treatment, consult your doctor and waxer before your service. Also, you should absolutely not drink alcohol before the wax. Drinking tightens your pores, which could make the hair more difficult to remove. And, finally, What's the key to making your service last and keeping your skin smooth?

Maintaining healthy and hydrated skin is essential for making your service last. Drink lots of water to hydrate from the inside out, and use a great daily moisturiser to lock in moisture. Exfoliating everyday up to one day prior to a wax also assists in hair removal.

The Surprising Reason So Many Women Are Getting Rid of Their Pubic Hair

Waxing me pretty Cheltenham firmly believe that what you choose to do with your pubic hair is your own business. Some people just aren't comfortable bringing a bush to the beach—and others are totally down with it. To each her own, right?

New research from University of California, San Francisco, shows that the gap of those who groom and those who go au naturel is bigger than ever. Of the 3,316 women who participated in the study, 84 percent reported that they trimmed, shaved or waxed some or all of their pubic hair. That leaves a mere 16 percent who don't do anything. But even more telling was why some women groom on a regular basis. Sure, researchers pinned the obvious factors, like social activities (which accounts for sex and vacation alike). But by a huge margin, the biggest reason was to please their partner. Essentially, if a woman's partner prefers her to go bare down there, she's much more likely to actually be bare down there.

But some women aren't so quick to pick up the razor or schedule a wax. If most women who groom do so to please a partner, the reasoning for not doing so may be about pleasing yourself, too. "I've never had the desire to and the women that I've been in relationships with have never cared about that," says one 27-year-old woman who's never messed with her pubic hair. "I prefer it that way because it's one less thing to maintain and leaving it as is doesn't bother me in the least.”

What's key to this is striking the balance between your personal preference and that of your partner's, if you're OK compromising. Really, anything besides that probably isn't healthy. We're all about taking it all off if that makes you feel good or sexy or more comfortable. And if you'd rather let it grow? So be it. They're your pubes. You should do with them what you want.

Are you a one-off waxer? The benefits of regular wax treatments.

As specialist waxing therapists, here at Waxing Me Pretty CHELTENHAM. We believe waxing isn’t something you do now and again as a luxury, it should be part of your body maintenance routine,

it’s certainly not just a vanity thing. We believe it makes you feel better, inside and out – knowing how good we look underneath makes us all feel more confident on the outside.

We all wax for different reasons. Some of us are all for a regular wax, others are more for occasions such as holidays, weddings etc.  but we believe regular waxing has many benefits.

After that second or third regular treatment, when all your follicles are towing the line and pushing the hair out at the same time, you’ll find your treatment leaves you smoother than ever before and for longer. 

Further benefits of a regular wax include:

• Less discomfort. You’ll also find that more hairs will have passed the early growth stage where they’re clinging on for dear life, which means they come out more easily and don’t cause as much discomfort.

• Regular waxing can reduce the length of hair growth over time. Some people find that after regular waxing their hair growth is disrupted, shortening the growth cycle and resulting in shorter or finer hairs. An added bonus if you couldn’t keep up with your waxing!

And you must NEVER, EVER shave between waxes. Shaving in between waxes means hair at different growth cycles isn’t removed by waxing, undoing all that hard work you put in to get your follicles to fall in line.

Finally, as our regular was customers at Waxing Me Pretty will already know – booking regular treatments with us benefits you in your pocket, as we have various offers for customers who visit us on an ongoing basis.

10 Things Your Bikini Waxer Wants You to Know

The most important one: No one is judging.

How you groom down there is a purely personal decision. But if totally bare—or close to it—is what you’re after, there’s no denying that a bikini wax or Brazilian \ Hollywood wax is the fastest, least bump-inducing way to smooth things out below the waist.

Let’s get this straight: There’s no wrong choice when it comes to getting a bikini wax or not. From Barbie-doll hairless to full bush. 

That said, it doesn’t matter how advanced you are in the Brazilian arts, we get that. Here, our favourite bikini-waxing specialists share what they wish they could tell you before you lie down on the table. (Hint: You have nothing to be embarrassed about. Unless you show up drunk. Don’t do that.)

1. No one is judging your vulva.

First things first: “Don’t be nervous about the way your vulva looks, “We see all sizes and colours on a daily basis. Our job is to make you look and feel better about it.” It’s a bikini wax, not an audition to be a pubic-hair model.

2. Don’t shave.

Seriously. “Prior to waxing, the length of your hair should be at least a quarter inch - 1.5cm,” Any less and the wax won’t have enough hair to grip during the removal process. 

3. Seriously, there’s no such thing as being too hairy.

“A lot of clients get embarrassed about their growth if it’s been a while,”“I’d rather wax overgrown hair than a three-week-old shave. It’s easier for the specialist and less painful for you.”

4. Don’t come straight from Spin class.

Yes, it’s a kindness to your waxer that you arrive fresh and cleansed, but it will also help your wax go more smoothly. Natural oils, sweat, or body lotions can prohibit wax from adhering as well. “Come in tidy, like brushing your teeth before a dental exam, 

5. You’ve got plenty of options.

You don’t have to go totally bare, as there are tons of bikini wax styles to chose from. You can get just the sides and the top cleaned up (a bikini wax, you can get everything but a small landing strip of hair or a triangle in front (a Brazilian wax), or you can get everything—top, sides, and back—removed (a Hollywood). If you’re not sure which you want to start with, don’t be afraid to ask your technician. It’s only awkward for them if you don’t like the end result.

6. Don’t work out after your wax either.

One of the core pillars of post wax care? Take the whole day off from the gym. “The friction in tight yoga pants can cause irritation,” Additionally, “you should avoid any physical activity 12 to 24 hours after your wax,” “The less heat you bring to the area, the better.” Steering clear of another—more private—athletic endeavour can be beneficial as well.

7. Sorry, no hookups.

This one is a pretty standard rule most waxers will warn you about, but it’s easy to forget. Any kind of action down there—sex in particular—can lead to discomfort. “It can cause excessive chafing from friction on extra-delicate skin,”. Consider turning the first two days into official cuddle time.

8. Stay out of the sun.

The first 48 hours after waxing, your already delicate skin down there is even more vulnerable. So while you may be dying to throw on your bikini the second you leave the salon, keep in mind that sensitive skin is more susceptible to UV rays. “This can lead to permanent sun damage and  hyperpigmentation,”

9. Resist the urge to do recon work after your wax job. 

“If ingrown hairs appear after you have a wax, don’t pluck them,” Let us handle it.” If you pick at your in grows with your nails, you risk scarring and infection. “We have tons of bacteria underneath our nail beds,” If you can’t make it back into your waxer’s. To safely address the issue, as can gentle exfoliation with an exfoliation body brush the area three days after your wax.

10.For a pain-free hair removal solution 

There can be several reasons for a painful waxing experience such as a therapist who has not been properly trained, using the incorrect type of wax on an area or not prepping the skin. The way the wax is applied is a key factor in how much pain a person will experience. Also it is very important to remove the wax correctly.
