Who Is Waxing Me Pretty

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!

7 Things No One Ever Tells You About Waxing

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.

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.

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 Cheltenham 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. Waxing me pretty are members of the British Association of Beauty Therapy & Cosmetology (BABTAC) are appropriately qualified, meticulously verified and appropriately insured.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

10 Things Your Bikini Waxer Wants You to Know

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.

What to do when you can’t go to your waxing appointment during Covid 19 lockdown

What to do when you can’t go to your waxing appointment during Covid 19 lockdown

Expert advice on what to do in lieu of your usual waxing hair removal routine during the coronavirus pandemic.

Waxing hair removal, is a personal choice. But whatever hair removal routine you choose, chances are it has changed at least somewhat due to the spread of Covid 19.

As businesses have been forced to close indefinitely, those who have committed to a waxing regimen might wonder how to maintain their progress without undoing all the time they’ve put toward all those years of waxing.

Ideally, we should be taking this time to let our hair go through its natural growth cycle. In other words, do not shave. Take this time to grow out hair so you are ready for a wax when you can go back out, Since most public places and social gatherings are closed, this is a great time to grow hair out.

It is typically frowned upon by waxing therapist to shave between waxes, as waxing removes hair from below the skin surface and promotes a slower, lighter reduced hair growth. Waxing removes your body hair from the roots – absolutely thoroughly, hygienically and virtually painlessly, with long-lasting results. Waxing Me Pretty is in favour of letting the hair grow and refraining from shaving if possible.

We recommend trimming if necessary, you will be better off in the long run of you refrain from shaving or any other hair removal. Allowing hair to reach its full length will make the next waxing experience more effective, [because] there won’t be any little hairs trying to get through.  

Maintaining your regular skin care and exfoliation routine is highly important. Exfoliate, exfoliate, and exfoliate! Washing and 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.

Hair removal is low on the list of things to truly be concerned about at the present, but the most important thing to remember is that this is temporary, and by following these exfoliating and maintenance tips, you’ll be in good shape once you’re able to start getting back to your regular appointments.

Waxing Does Not Need To Be Painful

Waxing Does Not Need To Be Painful

Yes, really!

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, and waxing can be painful.

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.

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 is “Waxing Me Pretty” different from other salons?

How is “Waxing Me Pretty” different from other salons?

Well, 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 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.

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 Cheltenham 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!

For The Most Effective & Painless Waxing Experience.

For The Most Effective & Painless Waxing Experience.

7 Things You Should Avoid

When it comes to hair removal, waxing is one of the more low-maintenance options.

Sure, it can be a little more expensive than simply shaving, but the results last anywhere from four to six weeks.

So once you do it, you won't have to worry about stubble for a while.

For peace of mind there are things you shouldn't do when you wax. Not life-altering things, of course, but to make sure you have the best results and most pleasant experience, you might have to temporarily give up a few indulgences.

Don't worry though, most of the things you shouldn't do when waxing are only for that one day, if not just the few hours surrounding the actual treatment. So in basically no time at all, you can be back to doing you, just with smoother skin. Just make sure that you plan your wax so that it won't interfere with you needing to do any of the things you really shouldn't be doing. To ensure the best and longest-lasting results, along with the most painless experience possible, here are the seven things you should try to avoid when you wax.

1. Drink Coffee or Alcohol

While it might seem like it could calm your nerves, it's not a good idea to drink coffee or alcohol before a wax. These will increase your skin's sensitivity, potentially making waxing more painful. So drink water instead. Staying hydrated can help waxing be less painful and more effective.

2. Tanning

Whether in the sun or with a self-tanner, most salons will advise you to avoid tanning the day before or after your wax. Sun tanning before a wax can make the skin more sensitive and the wax more painful. Sun tanning after a wax runs a higher risk of burning the sensitive areas (and loading up on SPF might just clog the pores). On the other hand, self-tanning before a wax can result in weird, patchy areas afterwards; whereas self-tanning after a wax can result in some of those chemicals getting into your bloodstream if you have any broken skin.

3. Swimming

Chlorinated or salt water can be very drying for the skin, and it's important to stay moisturized and hydrated for the most painless and effective wax. So if you can help it, don't go for a swim the day before a wax (and make sure to heavily moisturize during the week leading up to it). After a wax? Avoid swimming for at least 24 hours so the skin has time to heal, and you're less at-risk for any infections.

4. Working Out

After waxing, the skin is more susceptible to irritation (and therefore in growns), and the open follicles are more susceptible to bacterial infection. This means that it's best to avoid anything that could cause excess friction or sweat — working out, saunas, even sex for at least 24 hours after waxing.

5. Wearing Tight Clothes

In the same vein, it's also important to ditch the tight-fitting clothes right after a wax. Anything that hugs your body too tightly is going to rub against your skin more (causing irritation), and could trap more moisture (which could lead to a bacterial infection). For the quickest recovery, rock your favorite pair of sweats, pjs, or even a skirt.

6. Your Period

The few days leading up to your period is a time when your skin is more sensitive than usual, meaning a wax is likely to be more painful than usual. So if it's your first time, aim for a different time of the month. However, if you want to become a regular waxer, and it happens to fall near or on your period, you don't have to skip your appointment. Regularly waxing makes hairs grow back finer, therefore making it an easier and less painful process over time.

7. Shaving

For a successful wax, your hair should be at least one-quarter inch long. Which means that it's best to stop shaving at least five days prior to waxing. And even though it might be tempting to shave off some stubble in-between waxes, if you plan to make waxing routine, just say no to the razor.

Going For Your First Brazilian Wax. What to Expect?

Going For Your First Brazilian Wax. What to Expect?

With bathing suit season fast approaching and the official start of spring.

I know some of you are thinking of heading to get your first ever Brazilian wax or Hollywood wax.

Here’s a rundown of what the process is like:

First, yes, you have to strip your lower half bare. While some places keep disposable undies on hand for regular bikini waxes, they just get in the way for a Brazilian wax or Hollywood wax.

Now, as to how much and where the hair will be removed. Some places call different styles different things, but basically you have 2 options:

1. Brazilian - Going for a little “landing strip” which means you have just a bit left right down the centre.

2. Hollywood - Going totally bare. It’s up to you. Just let your wax therapist know your preference upfront.

And that’s it! Total time: Anywhere from about 30 - 40 minutes.

Our speciality is Brazilian & Hollywood waxing. We use the only finest best quality hot wax. Trained by the best in the business. Having a Brazilian wax / Hollywood wax for the first time can be quite daunting, I promise the results are more than worth it! One Brazilian wax / Hollywood wax and you will be hooked.

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!
