why should I wax?
  • Waxing pulls the hair from the root, this means it will take a lot longer to grow back & when it does, it will be sparser & finer

  • Unlike shaving you wont have the irritation, itching or prickly regrowth, just fine, baby soft hair. ooooo yeah

  • You'll get a far smoother finish & more even skin tone

  • Intimate waxing removes ALL the hair, even in those hard to reach area's (yes I'm talking about your bum!)

what is Lycon hot wax?
  • Sometimes referred to as stripless, hard, hot or flexi wax, this is the stuff that goes on thick, is left to set and gets peeled off

  • Lycon is Australia's number 1 wax brand, their superior waxes grab hair as short as 1mm and are made from natural, high quality ingredients

  • Lycon hot wax only grips the hair and not the skin, making it a 50% less painful wax. easy breezy 

  • No, its not actually hot. Lycon wax has a super low melting temperature meaning its comfortable & kind to your lady bits 

does it hurt?
  • Nowhere near as much as you think it will, we promise

  • We use Lycons specialist technique for the most pain free experience, no dreaded picking or flicking here

  • We always apply pressure to the skin as soon as the wax is removed as this stops the sting immediately

  • Lycon hot wax is always used for intimate areas & underarms with a pre-wax oil applied prior. This ensures the skin isn't pulled (thats what hurts!)

  • A post wax creme is applied after your wax to calm and soothe the skin

do I have to take my underwear off?
  • Dont panic! We've seen it all before

  • Wax it is a body positive, safe space. All vulva shapes, sizes & colours are welcomed & celebrated 

  • Removing your underwear for hollywood/ brazilian / g-string waxes will make the process quicker & less awkward. It'll also ensure you leave completely hair free 

  • and no, you don't have to get on all fours, phew

I'm pregnant, can I get waxed?
  • Yes. waxing whilst pregnant is completely safe.

  • If you are later on in your pregnancy, we may need to adjust your position for certain treatments to make sure you're comfortable, but it wont affect your results

  • Once you're over 30  weeks, select the "I'm pregnant" free 10 minute add on when booking any intimate or leg waxing. Just to make sure we have plenty of time to make sure you're comfortable throughout. 

I'm on my period!
  • No drama, just make sure you are wearing a clean tampon or menstrual cup before your wax 

  • You may find you are more sensitive around this time however, so if you'd rather rearrange, just let us know

I've got a penis, can I get a wax?
  • No, sorry, we're only trained in intimate waxing on female anatomy (vulva's)

I'm trans, can i get waxed?
  • yes! wax it is a trans safe space. 

  • please be aware that we are not trained to wax male genitalia, so if you have a penis we wont be able to perform intimate waxing treatments on you 

I've got piles 
  • completely normal & nothing to worry about! you'd be surprised how common it is 

How old do I have to be for an intimate wax?
  • 18 is the minimum age for an intimate wax

  • if you're 16-18 you'll need parental consent (your parent / guardian will need to be present to sign your consent form)

I'm going on holiday, when do I wax?
  • you need to leave 24-48hrs for your skin to recover before sun exposure / swimming / saunas ect 

  • so 2-3 days before travelling is ideal
