Brazilian Waxing in Ruaka

Hard wax, soft wax or honey wax?

Three options, and the right one depends on your skin rather than your budget.

• Hard wax hardens on the skin and is lifted off without a strip. It grips the hair rather than the skin, which makes it the kindest choice for the bikini area, for sensitive skin, and for anyone waxing for the first time. KES 1,300 for a full Brazilian.
• Soft wax is applied thinly and removed with a strip. It is quick, efficient and excellent on skin that tolerates waxing well. KES 1,000 for a full Brazilian.
• Honey wax is a warm, honey based formula that a lot of clients with dry or reactive skin prefer. KES 1,300, and it is usually the fastest of the three.

If you are not sure, say so when you arrive. Your therapist will look at your skin and hair and recommend one. There is no upsell in it for us, the prices are within a few hundred shillings of each other.

Why our clients keep coming back

Read our reviews and the same three things come up again and again: how clean the rooms are, how gentle the therapists are, and how much less it hurt than expected.

• No double dipping, ever. A spatula goes into the wax once and then into the bin. Fresh disposable bedding for every client.
• One therapist, start to finish, in a closed private room. You can request the same person every visit and most of our regulars do.
• Proper technique. Skin held taut, wax applied with the growth, removed against it, hand pressed straight after to settle the sting.
• Aftercare that works. A soothing finish at the end, plus straightforward advice on what to avoid for the next 24 to 48 hours.

Add a vajacial and stop fighting ingrown hairs

If ingrown hairs, bumps or darkening are your real complaint, the wax alone will not solve it. A vajacial is a facial for the bikini area: cleanse, exfoliate, steam to open the pores, careful extraction of trapped hairs, then a soothing mask.

Booked straight after a wax while the pores are still open, it is far more effective. A full Brazilian plus a full vajacial is KES 2,000 with soft wax and takes about fifty minutes. It is the pairing we recommend most often, and the one clients say they wish they had started with. Read more about vajacial treatments.
