Underarm waxing removes hair from the root for cleaner, smoother underarms than shaving, with less stubble as it grows back. It’s a quick appointment that helps reduce daily maintenance and can minimise shaving rash and shadow.
More information
What an underarm waxing appointment includes
Underarm wax focuses on removing underarm hair cleanly and evenly, leaving the skin smooth and easier to maintain.
- Cleansing and preparing the underarm area to help the wax grip the hair, not the skin
- Hair removal from both underarms, working with the natural growth direction
- Tweezing of any missed fine hairs where needed for a neat finish
- Soothing product applied after waxing to calm the skin and reduce redness
- Practical aftercare guidance to help prevent bumps, irritation and ingrown hairs
Underarm waxing for people fed up with shaving rash and fast regrowth
Underarm waxing is a good option if shaving leaves you with prickly regrowth within a day or two, or if you notice redness, dryness or dark shadow under the arms. It also suits anyone who wants smoother underarms for sport, holidays, sleeveless outfits or regular workwear.
How underarm wax is carried out in a 15-minute slot
The underarm area is cleansed, then wax is applied in sections and removed to lift hair from the root. The area is then checked for strays and finished with a calming product. Most appointments take around 15 minutes, making it easy to fit into a lunch break or pre-event schedule.
Aftercare for smoother underarms and fewer ingrown hairs
Avoid deodorant, heavy fragranced products, hot baths, sauna, and intense exercise for 24 hours after your underarm wax. Keep the area clean and dry on the day, then start gentle exfoliation after 48 hours (if your skin feels settled) to help prevent ingrowns. If you have persistent bumps, spacing appointments consistently often helps your skin adapt.
