What is the difference between hot waxing and strip wax?
Waxing is a long-established method of hair removal, with its origins dating back to ancient Egypt. It works by applying wax to the skin so that it grips the hair, which is then removed from the root. Waxing can be carried out on most areas of the body, including the legs, arms, underarms, bikini area and face.
There are two main types of waxing used in professional salons: hot waxing and strip waxing. While both remove hair effectively, they are suited to different hair types, skin sensitivities and treatment areas.
Hot wax is applied directly to the hair and removed once it has set, without the use of strips. Because it grips the hair rather than the skin, it is generally more comfortable and causes less irritation. It is particularly effective on coarse terminus hair and is commonly used for smaller, more sensitive areas such as the face, underarms and bikini area. Hot wax can also remove shorter hairs, making it ideal for delicate skin.
Strip waxing involves applying a thin layer of warm wax to the skin, placing a paper or fabric strip on top and removing it quickly. This method is faster and better suited to larger areas such as the legs, arms, chest and back. While highly effective, strip waxing can be slightly more uncomfortable as it adheres to both the hair and the skin, which may cause temporary redness.
Your therapist will advise you on the most suitable method for you.

At our Winchester salon, we are proud to use Harley Wax, a premium, professional-grade waxing system. Manufactured in the UK to exceptionally high standards, Harley Wax is a low-temperature system designed to wrap around the hair rather than the skin, helping to significantly reduce pain, irritation and redness.
Suitable for all skin and hair types, including very sensitive and intimate areas, it can effectively remove hair as short as 1 mm while leaving no sticky residue. Enriched with natural, skin-soothing ingredients such as Lavender, Tea Tree and Aloe Vera, Harley Wax helps calm the skin, reduce inflammation and lower the risk of ingrown hairs.

CryoPen FAQs
What is waxing?
«Waxing is a method of hair removal that removes hair from the root using specialised wax. It has origins dating back to ancient Egypt. It leaves the skin smoother for longer than shaving and, with regular treatments, hair often grows back finer and softer.
How long does the hair need to be for waxing?
«It is usually recommended that hair should be around 5 mm long, roughly the length of a grain of rice, for waxing. At Sparx, however, we can wax hair as short at 1mm because we use premium Harley Wax.
Is waxing painful?
«Discomfort varies from person to person and depends on the area being treated. Most clients find the sensation manageable, especially with regular waxing.
Our experienced therapists work efficiently and carefully to minimise discomfort. Let them know if you are experiencing any pain and they will do their best to help.
How long will the results of my wax last?
«Results typically last between three and six weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle and the area treated. With regular waxing, many clients notice slower regrowth over time.
What areas can be waxed?
«Waxing can be carried out on most areas of the body, including legs, arms, underarms, bikini, intimate areas, face, chest and back. Your therapist will advise on the most suitable wax for each area.
Can I wax if I have sensitive skin?
«Yes, waxing can be suitable for sensitive skin when the correct wax and technique are used. Please let your therapist know about any sensitivities, allergies or skin conditions before your appointment so we can tailor the treatment.
How should I prepare for my waxing appointment?
«Avoid sun exposure, exfoliating acids and retinol products for at least 24 hours before waxing. Gently exfoliating the area a day or two beforehand can help prevent ingrown hairs.
What aftercare is recommended following waxing?
«After waxing, avoid heat, exercise, sun exposure and tight clothing for 24 hours. Keeping the skin moisturised and exfoliating regularly between appointments will help maintain smooth results and reduce ingrown hairs.
