Californian Waxing in Naas 

New client, or six months or longer since your last wax with us? Book your patch test at least 24 hours before treatment.

  • What is a Californian wax?

    A Californian wax is a good in-between option if you want more removed than a standard bikini wax, but you still want to keep more natural hair at the front.

    It tidies the bikini line and removes hair further in so you have a cleaner finish around underwear or swimwear without going as far as a Brazilian or Hollywood.

    If you want more removed underneath or from the front, a G-String, Brazilian or Hollywood may suit you better.

  • Is a Californian wax right for me?

    A Californian wax is a good choice if you:

    ✓ Want more removed than a standard bikini wax
    ✓ Prefer to keep more natural hair at the front
    ✓ Want a neater finish around underwear or swimwear
    ✓ Don’t want to go as far as a G-String, Brazilian or Hollywood
    ✓ Are fed up with shaving or shaving rash
    ✓ Want a tidy, low-maintenance intimate wax

Nervous about your first Californian Wax?

This is probably the biggest thing clients worry about.

You will need to remove your underwear for parts of the treatment, but we'll keep things professional and straightforward and tell you where we need you to move or position yourself.

There is no judgement and no need to feel embarrassed. Intimate waxing is a normal part of our working day.

And yes — the first wax can be uncomfortable. We're not going to tell you that you won't feel it.

But we work efficiently, use professional Harley Wax and try to make the treatment as quick and comfortable as we can.

▣ Before your Californian Wax

• A waxing patch test is required for all new clients and anyone whose last waxing appointment with us was six months ago or longer. It must be completed at least 24 hours before your waxing appointment.
• Leave enough hair growth for the wax to grip properly. If you’re unsure, don’t trim it too short before your appointment.
• Gently exfoliate the area before your wax.
• Avoid heavy lotions, oils or heavily fragranced products on the area on the day of your appointment.
• Let us know if you are taking medication or using skincare that may make your skin more sensitive.

♡ Aftercare

• Your skin may look red or feel warm immediately after waxing.
• Avoid hot baths, saunas, swimming, intense exercise and excessive heat for 24–48 hours.
• Avoid sunbathing and tanning beds for 24–48 hours.
• Avoid perfumed or heavily fragranced products on the waxed area while the skin is settling.
• Moisturise the area regularly.
• Once the skin has settled, exfoliate around once a week to help reduce ingrown hairs.

How long does a Californian Wax last?

Most of our regular Californian waxing clients book around every 6–8 weeks, although everyone’s hair growth is different.

If you have been shaving, your first few waxes can have hair growing at different stages. As you continue waxing regularly, your appointments usually become easier to maintain.
