Waxing is quick, easy and lasts longer than shaving or removal creams (up to 4 weeks). The hair is removed from the root, not cut at the skin surface as with shaving, so comes back smooth not stubbly. Many also find that once you have been waxing for a while, the hair comes back finer and even patchy in some areas.

Before you have your first wax at k:SPA, we will ask you to fill out a consultation card and your beauty therapist will then have a quick chat with you in the privacy of the treatment room. We’ll go through some basic questions such as how would you usually remove your hair, etc. This is for your first visit only, all we ask is that you keep us updated of any changes - for example, if you are taking any new medication. We’ll also be happy to answer any questions you may have before we start. Your beauty therapist will then explain the details of the treatment you have chosen and let you know what to do next and to what extent you should undress. They will leave you to make yourself comfortable on the couch before returning to begin your k:SPA waxing.

We’re not going to lie to you! Waxing involves pulling hair out from its root, so yes, depending on the client and area being waxed there is a possibility it may hurt a little. However, waxing techniques have improved considerably over the years. Here at k:SPA, all our therapists are trained in the very latest techniques and we use only the finest-quality waxes that stick to the hair not the skin. It’s also a well-known fact that any pain you do experience will lessen the more regularly you wax!

The quality of the wax we use means that we can reach the shorter, finer hairs better than most other waxes. This means you no longer have to wait and ‘grow’ your hair so it is long enough to be waxed again. Most people find they need to come in every 3–5 weeks. If you are new to waxing we recommend every 3–4 weeks for the first few times until the hair growth starts to slow and grow at the same rate. Sometimes the waxed area can appear to have more hair than usual, this just means that all the hairs are now in a similar growth cycle and will make your future waxes more effective and last longer. For best results we recommend that you don’t shave, tweeze or use hair removal creams between appointments.

It depends on what areas we are waxing and how much hair is there, as a guide allow 20 minutes for a half leg wax and 30 minutes for a Brazilian or Hollywood.

It really depends on the area we are waxing; we use a combination of only the highest grade strip and new generation non-strip wax whichever is the best wax for the job! For legs and larger areas, we use a hypoallergenic strip wax where the wax is applied and then removed with a paper strip. For more intimate areas such as Brazilians, Hollywoods, facial and under arms we use the latest ground-breaking new generation non-strip wax. These advanced formulations with their low temperature and “shrink wrapping” abilities mean increased client comfort. Perfect for the more ‘sensitive’ areas!

Your skin shouldn’t be sore after a wax, but it is quite normal for a mild redness or red dots to be seen on the area for a few hours. With some areas, white bumps can also been seen on the skin but usually disappear within 24 hours. Follow your beauty therapist's aftercare advice and you should soon be back to normal.

Gently exfoliate the area in the few days prior to your appointment, this helps to remove dry skin and lift the hairs achieving better results.

You will need to avoid any heat or friction in the area for 24 hours. This includes steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs & sunbeds.

Exfoliate the skin thoroughly to remove dead skin cells. Moisturise the skin every day. When the skin is supple, new growth can break through more easily therefore reducing the risk of in growing hairs and infection.

Absolutely! Bikini waxes are very popular with our pregnant ladies. Bear in mind that your skin may be a little more sensitive than usual, however our beauty therapists will ensure it’s as bearable as they can!

Yes, that's not a problem at all. All we ask is that you’re wearing a tampon.

Certain skin conditions, face creams and medication can affect your skin which is when we recommend not waxing. It is extremely important for you to tell your beauty therapist of any skin conditions you may have or medication you are taking.

For example, if you have been taking the drug Accutane (for acne/skin problems) then you will need to wait a minimum of 6 months after you finish before we can perform any waxing at all. Another example is if you are using Retin-A. We cannot wax the area that you are using it however, if you apply Retin-A to your face you can still wax legs and bikini but not eyebrows. Our beauty therapists can advise, however if you have any serious conditions you should consult your doctor.

As with every new treatment for our clients, you will have a quick consultation with your therapist in the treatment room, during which she will explain about the treatment you have chosen. Our therapists are very professional and will make you feel as comfortable as possible. They will then leave you to get ready which will involve taking your knickers off! (For standard bikini waxes there is no need to remove them). A k:SPA Intimate wax will create a great result by removing all hair from the labia, perineum and anus areas. A ‘Hollywood’ bares all where as a Brazilian leaves a ‘landing strip’ (your choice how wide). Don’t worry, it isn’t as scary as it sounds and we’re sure you’ll love the result.

Yes, we offer electrolysis treatments. Electrolysis is a safe, effective, progressive and permanent method of removing unwanted hair. It remains the only method legally allowed to claim it offers truly permanent hair removal for all skin types and colours and all hair types and colours. A fine probe (about the size of an eyelash) is inserted into the hair follicle where a tiny burst of energy is targeted at the root of the hair. This prevents nutrients feeding the hair and the hair becomes weaker and finer. After repeated treatments the hair is no longer able to grow and complete hair free results are obtained.

Yes! We offer a range of different threading treatments including eyebrow threading, lip threading, chin threading and full face threading.

At k:SPA in Whiteley, Fareham, we always build a consultation into your appointments.  This means you can tell us exactly what you are looking for so we can give you the right massage for your needs, whether you want to relax, be energised, or get rid of knotty tension in the back and shoulders!

Electrolysis uses a fine probe which sends a tiny electric current and heat directly to the hair root to destroy the 'bulb'. Similarly, it can be used to remove skin imperfections such as skin tags and other blemishes.

For those who seek complete and permanent hair removal on any part of the body, regardless of skin tone or hair colour, there remains only one method that is approved by the British Medical Association – electrolysis.

The number of treatments required varies from person to person.  It largely depends on the size of area being treated, how dense your hair is and how strong your hair growth cells are.  We can give you a better indication of how many electrolysis treatments you will need at your consultation.

Most clients tolerate electrolysis very well and say it feels like a quick sting (the sensation is fleeting and does not last).

If you have a mole with hairs growing out of it, please ask your GP to assess your suitability to have electrolysis.  We will need to see a GP's letter supporting electrolysis before we can proceed.

The treated area may appear slightly red for a few hours after treatment. We will provide you with aftercare instructions.

A LVL lash lift usually takes around 60 minutes.  We will include your brow shape & tint or mini facial within that time too. You will also need to come in for a quick patch test 48 hours prior to your treatment so we can check for any sensitivities.

Lash lifts usually last up to 8 weeks and will grow out with your natural lash cycle. We will recommend the right aftercare to ensure your lifted lashes stay looking fabulous for as long as possible.

LVL Enhance contains caring ingredients such as vegan-friendly ceramides and keratin alternatives.  This treatment is designed to strengthen and enhance your natural lashes.

It usually takes up to 10 minutes to tint your eyebrows - or a little longer if we are also shaping your brows.

Professional eyebrow tints usually last 3-4 weeks, with the colour gradually fading over time. Brows fade faster than lash tints.

Eyelash tinting usually lasts between 3-5 weeks.  Eyelashes naturally fall out over a period of time and are replaced by new lashes.
