​Wax on or Wax off?

In the spirit of starting off the new season fresh as a daisy and welcoming spring with a new attitude and a clean, smooth look, we say wax on, hair off! Before you hold your breath and the puling begins, relax. Waxing isn’t a horror movie. It’s something that has been around for a while, and we’re here to talk about the brighter side of waxing.

The Speed

Although shaving might seem quick, is it really that great when the hairs start growing back literally the next day? And then you press repeat and do the entire process all over again. Every day. Now that’s monotony. Plus, it’s time consuming, and sometimes life gets in the way and you end up leaving the house with a secret, booming stash of hair. Hm, still want to continue shaving?

Waxing is quick and reliable way of stopping those hair from growing back, without spending hours at your favourite salon. It usually takes only 30 minutes, and that’s 30 minutes every month or two, as opposed to 10 minutes every day with your razor for the rest of your life.

A few extra minutes spent waxing, saves you at least an hour of shaving throughout the entire month.

Softer Regrowth

Hair never grows back as harsh as it used to be. Because the entire hair follicle is pulled out along with the root, the new baby hairs come out looking less obvious and are much gentler.

You Can Slip Up

We probably shouldn’t be telling you this, but with waxing treatments, you’re going to be allowed a few slip ups. If you miss an appointment it probably isn’t going to throw you right back to the beginning, while with laser hair removal, if you skip your session, you’re not only going to endanger your progress but it’s going to cost you. Cha-ching for the laser hair removal salon.

Better Investment Long Term

If you compare the cost of one waxing treatment that’s going to last you for weeks to the number of times you had to run to the store to grab yet another razor, you’ll see that eventually waxing is a better investment, that gives you better results overall.

Silky Smooth

The area where you decide to wax is actually always smoother than a shave, because contrary to the popular opinion, wax DOESN’T cling on to your skin, doesn’t camp out there, damaging your skin. It’s sort of like a gentle exfoliator. In fact, the reason why your skin is so smooth is because wax grabs on to the hair follicle, that is, if it’s done right, taking it with it, without actually endangering your skin.

A-HA! What about the Pain?

Waxing is painful, we’ll give you that. But we’ve all had breakups that are more painful that the treatment itself and a heartache that definitely lasts longer than a waxing treatment.

Are you ready now? Put aside your scepticism, and trust the About Face Wax. You’ll never go back to shaving again.
