Back Wax

Back waxing removes unwanted hair from the back in one clean pull, leaving skin smoother for weeks with less stubble than shaving. It’s a practical option if you want a neater look for holidays, sport, or everyday comfort and reduced itchiness as hair grows back.

More information

What a back wax appointment covers

Back Wax focuses on removing hair from the back area efficiently, with skin comfort and a tidy finish as the priority.

  • Consultation on the areas to be waxed (upper back, mid-back, lower back, shoulders).
  • Cleansing and prepping the skin so wax grips hair rather than skin.
  • Wax applied in sections and removed to lift hair from the root.
  • Tweezing of any remaining stray hairs for a cleaner result.
  • Soothing post-wax product to calm the skin and reduce surface redness.

Back waxing for a smoother, cleaner look

Back waxing suits you if shaving leaves rough regrowth quickly, or if you want a smoother back for events, holidays, swimming, or gym kit. It can also help if you get irritation from frequent shaving, since hair is removed from the root rather than cut at the surface.

How the Back Wax service is carried out (around 30 minutes)

Your therapist will confirm the area to be waxed, then cleanse and prep the skin. Wax is applied and removed in controlled sections to reduce discomfort and help keep the finish even. A calming product is applied at the end, and you will be talked through simple aftercare.

Aftercare that helps prevent bumps and ingrown hairs on the back

For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid hot baths, saunas, intense workouts and tight clothing that rubs the back. After 48 hours, gentle exfoliation a few times a week and regular moisturising helps keep the skin smooth and lowers the chance of ingrown hairs. If your back will be exposed outdoors, use SPF to protect freshly waxed skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will a back wax last?
Most people stay smoother for around 3 to 6 weeks, depending on hair growth. Regular waxing often leads to softer regrowth and a less prickly feel between appointments.
Does back waxing hurt?
You may feel brief, sharp pulls, especially on denser areas like the upper back and shoulders. The sensation is usually quickest on repeat visits as the hair becomes finer.
How should I prepare for a Back Wax?
Let hair grow to roughly 5 to 10 mm so the wax can grip properly. Arrive with clean, dry skin and avoid heavy body oils or moisturiser on the back that day.
What should I avoid after back waxing?
Avoid heat, friction and heavy sweating for 24 to 48 hours, as these can trigger redness or bumps. Keep the area clean, wear breathable clothing, and start gentle exfoliation after 48 hours.
Can I have a back wax if I have spots or sensitive skin?
Mild blemishes are usually fine, but active inflammation, broken skin, sunburn or severe acne may need you to postpone. Let your therapist know about any skin concerns and any topical treatments so they can advise safely.
