Bikini Waxing
Bikini line waxing has evolved over the years and is no longer just a tidy up of stray hairs on the outside of the swimwear. Our waxing therapists in Nu Essence offer 4 different types of waxes. Read on for a simple explanation on each one.
Regular Bikini Wax This wax just covers the basic. Any hair outside the underwear and along the inner thigh is removed.
Californian This wax will leave you with approx 2-3 fingers width of hair on top and either side of the lips and hair free on the inner thigh.
Brazilian This wax will leave you with approx 1 finger width of hair on the lips. A 'landing strip' effect is optional.All hair is removed from inside of leg and bum area.
Hollywood A full wax, hair free.
Don't worry if any of the above don't seem to be what you want our Nu Essence Therapists can customise each individual wax
