At Bamboo Boutique, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional beauty solutions that are tailored specifically to you. We want to share with you the incredible advantages of waxing as a hair removal method. Trust us, it’s a total game-changer!
Long-lasting Fabulousness: Bid farewell to the constant hassle of shaving or using depilatory creams. Waxing removes those pesky hairs right from the root, leaving you with weeks of beautifully smooth skin. And the best part? With regular waxing, you’ll notice that your hair grows back finer and sparser. Hello, flawless!
The Secret to Silky Smooth Skin: Waxing isn’t just about hair removal, It’s a complete skin indulgence! By waxing, you’re also exfoliating your skin, giving it a luxuriously soft and supple feel. Get ready to embrace that radiant complexion and say hello to a more youthful version of yourself. Who doesn’t want to glow up?
Slow and Steady Wins the Race: Over time, waxing weakens those stubborn hair follicles, resulting in slower and thinner regrowth. With consistent waxing, you might even notice a reduction in hair density. Who would have thought hair removal could be this effortless? It’s time to reclaim your precious time, my dear!

We know the horror stories you’ve heard — we’ve heard them too — but you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how comfortable waxing can be when it’s done properly. We use Lycon hot wax, which is designed for ultra-sensitive skin and grips the hair, not the skin. That means less sting and more “oh, is that it?” moments. Most clients end up laughing, chatting away, and wondering why they ever worried.
Great question — the two do very different jobs!
Hot Wax (Lycon):
Perfect for intimate areas, underarms and the face. It’s kinder to sensitive skin, ideal for coarse hair and gives a far more comfortable experience.
Strip Wax (Australian Bodycare):
Used for larger areas like legs, arms, chest and back. Fast, efficient and smooth — applied thinly and removed with luxury cotton strips for a clean finish.
We choose the method that gives you the best results, every time.
About the length of a grain of rice — 0.5–1 cm is ideal.
If the hair is too short, the wax won’t grip.
If it’s too long, don’t panic — we will trim it for you so it’s the perfect working length. You don’t need to do anything but show up!
Nope! This is one of the biggest myths in beauty.
Waxing actually does the opposite — over time, it weakens the hair follicle, meaning your hair grows back finer, softer and lighter. With consistent appointments, many clients notice sparse regrowth and longer-lasting smoothness.
Every 4–6 weeks is the sweet spot.
This gives your hair enough time to enter the right growth phase for waxing, and keeps your skin beautifully smooth all month. Regular waxing also helps minimise ingrown hairs and speeds up the reduction in regrowth.
Easy prep makes a huge difference:
Exfoliate gently 24 hours before
Avoid moisturiser on the day
Wear loose clothing to your appointment
Avoid sunbeds or intense heat beforehand
If you’re sensitive, you may take a mild pain reliever 30 minutes before (not necessary for most)
And most importantly — don’t be embarrassed! We do this all day, every day.
Aftercare is everything for smooth, bump-free results. For 24–48 hours:
No hot baths, steam rooms or saunas
Avoid exercise and sweating
No tanning or sunbeds
Keep the area clean and free from fragranced products
Begin gentle exfoliation after 3 days to prevent ingrown hairs
Moisturise regularly to keep the skin soft
We’ll also give you tailored aftercare advice depending on the area you’ve had waxed.
Absolutely — especially with the premium waxes we use.
Lycon hot wax is formulated specifically for ultra-sensitive skin types. It shrink-wraps around the hair rather than sticking to your skin, meaning fewer reactions and far less irritation. If you’ve had bad experiences elsewhere, don’t let that put you off — we’ve converted many nervous clients into full-on waxing superfans.
