Be fuzz-free all over! :)

Shaving

Best for: Legs, Bikini line and under arms
Works by: Hair is cut off at the skin's surface with a razor blade
Lasts for: A day or two

Depilator

Best for: Contoured areas that are hard to reach with razor such as the toes, underarms, fingers and bikini line
Works by: A chemical exfoliant dissolves hair below the surface of your skin
Lasts for: About a week

Laser Hair Removal

Best for: Light skin with dark hair. Lasers don't work well on dark skin with light hair.
Works by: A pinpoint of light zaps hair at the root so it doesn't grow back. You need 6 to 8 sessions to totally remove hair, but you'll see a reduction in hair growth after 2 to 3 visits.
Lasts for: Forever!

Tweezing

Best for: Getting hair on small areas like the upper lip or chin and for shaping brows.
Works by: Hairs are plucked at the root one at a time with Tweezers.
Lasts for: Three to four weeks

Waxing

Best for: Legs, arms, bikini line, brows, toes, fingers and upper lip
Works by: Warm or softened wax is applied to the skin and pulled off using a piece of fabric for strip wax, removing hair at the root.
Lasts for: Two to three weeks

Threading

Best for: Small areas like brows, hairline and sideburns
Works by: An aesthetician uses a thread to loop around hairs and pull them out by the root a few at a time. It's like tweezing but much faster.
Lasts for: A week or two



Toodles! xx
