WAXING at "Kara's "


At Kara's we use Aloe-Vera wax making it suitable for the most sensitive skin. Waxing is a method of semi-permanent hair removal which removes the hair from the root. New hair will not grow back in the previously waxed area for 2 to 8 weeks. It is possible, some people will start to see a regrowth in 5 - 10 days.

Virtually any area of the body can be waxed. Eyebrows, face, bikini area, legs, arms, back, abdomen and feet can have the hair removed easily. There are many types of waxing suitable for removing unwanted hair.

At Kara's, after many years of waxing, we have found the most suitable techniques. One of those methods is by spreading a warm wax combination thinly over the skin. A paper strip is then pressed on the top and ripped off with a quick movement against the direction of hair growth. This removes the wax along with the hair.

For the specialist waxing other methods are used and a hot wax is applied.

Frequently asked questions:
1/. Waxing or Shaving: Shaving cuts the hair shaft level with the skin leave the area feeling smooth for a short period of time. Everyones is different, but at a relatively short period (fews days to a week or so) the shaved area will feel stubly and would need to be shaved again for the smooth feel.

Waxing removes the hair and usually the root so that the area is smooth. The first time you have a waxing the hair maybe brittle, espically if you've used shaving as your hair removal method before. Therefore the first time you wax the brittle hair will break and not nesseccary remove the hair root, so it may grow back within a few days to a week. Each time you wax the hair will become stronger and hence the more waxing you have, more hair with it's root will be removed. Eventually after several waxings the majority of the hair will be removed with the hair root meaning the hair will grow back finer, meaning less stubble and lasting longer between each waxing sessions.

2/. Does it hurt: No... However everyone is different, so if you've got a very low pain threshold you may feel it hurts. It's like removing a plaster.
