The benefits of waxing vs. shaving

Getting waxed at Thairapy Plus provides several benefits over shaving. 

• Waxing pulls hair from the root and gives a smoother feel
• Waxing lasts much longer than shaving
• New baby hair grows back after waxing which is less irritating on the skin as opposed to shaving which cuts the hair at the skin’s surface and causes more discomfort as it grows back
• Waxing consistently over time will deaden the hair follicle and cause hair to thin where you don’t want it anymore

We wanted to make our waxing services more comfortable and less groan worthy for our clients, so we are now using hard wax on the most sensitive areas, such as eyebrows, upper lip, bikini/Brazilian and underarms. Hard wax sets on the area to be waxed and is removed without a strip, it is also applied at a cooler temperature than a traditional soft/strip wax. Instead of adhering to the skin, it has a shrink wrapping effect and just clings to the hair which reduces inflammation and irritation. You’ll leave the salon less red and with much less lingering discomfort. We still use a strip wax for larger areas with tougher skin like, legs; arms; backs and chests. This enables us to make larger wax services as speedy as possible.
