What to wear to a waxing treatment

Unsure about what to wear or bring along with you to your first waxing experience? Let us give you some handy tips:

Wear something for waxing that you feel comfortable in. Loose fitting trousers are ideal because you’ll easily be able to put them on immediately after a leg waxing treatment. Although your therapist will remove the wax from your skin, a few sticky areas can remain. Particularly if you’ve had a Hollywood or Brazilian wax, it can be trickier to pull on skinny jeans.

During a bikini wax, only the hairs that fall outside of your pant-line are removed, which means you can usually keep them on. However, it’s quite possible that a bit of wax might get on to your underwear while it’s being applied. Bring along a spare pair to wear after just in case, but it’s not the end of the world if you don’t. You might need to remove your underwear or wear a pair of disposables for more intimate waxing treatments, like the Hollywood. Putting on a clean pair of knickers afterwards will reduce the risk of infection.

Wear a loose t-shirt is perfect for underarm waxing. The area can feel slightly sore afterwards and a gentle cotton t-shirt will allow the skin to breathe until any inflammation dissipates.

Removing hair from the fingers and toes is a common part of a waxing treatment too. Your therapist will apply a soothing cream over the area immediately after to remove any residue. You can then put your socks back on without experiencing any stickiness.
