WOWZER!! What a few days I have had!

This week I’ve been at the centre in Glasgow, completing my final assessments for the VTCT Level 4 Laser and Light qualification.

It has been an exhausting but incredible experience, adding to and fine-tuning my skills and knowledge with the amazing Lisa and Mike, the ever knowledgeable but totally mad scientist.

I got to use new laser technologies for treatments other than hair removal, share ideas, have some hilarious moments, and had a few minor meltdowns - mostly over the use of gloves, IYKYK right ?! 😆🤨

But I am so so happy, proud and relieved to announce that I have passed and I am so excited to bring my newfound knowledge and confidence to your treatments!

Big thing that a lot of clients are worried about is having to go on knees and elbows to have their bum crack waxed. Not on my watch!

There’s no worse feeling that your belly and b***s dangling while someone’s poking a waxy spatula at your bum’ole 🙈 I wouldn’t do that to you!

I work from the front and the sides. So while you’re on your back I’ll get you to lift one knee at a time into your chest, that lets me get to the in betweeny bit around the perineum and into the lower crease of your bum cheek.

Then I’ll just get you to lay facing away from me and bring your knees up and lift your bum cheek to get your bum crack. It’s no where near as embarrassing as you think it will be.

And yes, when you lift your bum cheek you might feel like you want to fart, but you probably won’t so don’t worry 😆

I’m here to make it as easy and comfortable as possible for you 😘

You could be soft and smooth for weeks, and if you start now you’ll be able to get a couple of appointments in before your summer holiday 😍

This time of year I get an influx of enquiries from new clients, so here’s some bits you need to know!

Ps - if you want waxing for a holiday I strongly advise that you have more than one before you go, aim to start around 3 months ahead for the best finish while you’re away 😘

Heyyy! It’s me, almost 😆

I’ve not introduced myself for a while, so here goes:

I’m Kate, I have over two decades of experience in the industry. I started my journey straight out of school in 2001 and have been running my own business for 22 years.

I specialise in waxing and laser hair removal, and I’d estimate I’ve performed over 20,000 intimate waxing treatments in that time. So when I say you’re in safe, experienced hands, I mean it! 😆😎

I take pride in providing high-quality treatments in a welcoming, non-judgemental environment. Many clients have told me how at ease they’ve felt, even on their first visit.

This is how many strips you are away from a smooth bikini.

Just a few little strips, a few little ‘ouches’, maybe a few little swears 😆

It takes about 10-15 minutes of actual waxing time for a Hollywood (all off) wax. But that’s not constant pain from pulling strips off, that’s applying the wax, letting it set, waving my arms around a bit while I’m chatting absolute rubbish, then removing the wax - it’s only the removal that will give you a bit of discomfort. But it’s dead quick and I am pretty gentle.

Also, don’t forget that if you’re waxing regularly you get so much less regrowth - you can see from the hairs on the strips in this picture, there’s hardly any hair there! And less hair means LESS PAIN!

So don’t let the thought of pain be the thing that puts you off, it’s really not that bad at all. Having to talk to me for 10/20 mins is probably more off putting and painful tbf 😂😉

If 20 mins with me yabbing on whilst pulling out your body hair sounds good, just head to the link in my bio and fill out the new client form, or drop me a DM or comment for the link 😍

Coming for an appointment can feel daunting for some people as it’s usually going to require some level of un******ng.

But honestly, I’m so laid back about bodies I would never judge you for anything. I’m just focussed on doing my job quickly and efficiently. I don’t care if you’re on your period, super hairy, plus size, have a skin condition, or have got a paddle mark on your bum 😆🤷🏼‍♀️

So whatever your worries are, just know I don’t take any notice.

Your mental and physical comfort is my priority ❤️

If you’ve been thinking about starting waxing or laser hair removal drop me a line, now is the perfect time to start!

I caught up with this client this week, it’s been almost TWO YEARS since her last laser hair removal treatment on her underarms.

Yes, you read that right… almost two years! And just look how sparse those hairs are still!

(You can see how long it’s been since she’s shaved them because of how long the few hairs are!)

She will be booking in for a maintenance treatment in the spring, and that should see her sorted for another year or two! 😍

So it will have cost her a whole £3.33 per month to keep her underarms hair free 🤑

This could be you… imagine how bloody fabulous it would be to not have to shave your underarms every day 😍

Just get in touch and let’s get your consultation and patch test booked 💕

Melanoma skin cancer in people with skin of colour is unfortunately associated with greater morbidity and mortality because of the general misconception that people with dark or black skin tones are immune to the disease AND because the early signs and symptoms are often more difficult to detect.

When melanoma does occur, the most common places a tumour may develop include areas of lighter skin not exposed to the sun, such as:

• The palms of the hands, the soles of the feet and the lower legs (acral lentiginous melanoma)
• Under the nails (subungual melanoma)
• Mucous membranes, such as inside the mouth
• The anogenital region (the area around the groin and a**s)

It is imperative that individuals of all skin types check their skin regularly (once a month) for the early signs and symptoms and seek immediate advice from a qualified healthcare practitioner with concerns of any new, unusual or changing moles or skin lesions.

For advice, guidance, and self-management tools to help you detect the early signs and take charge of your skin health - install the SKCIN APP on your mobile device:

I don’t think there’s many of us that enjoy shaving, most women I speak to hate it. That laborious shave-itch-rash-stubble cycle...

If that’s you then I have good news - there is a better way!

Waxing will leave you hair free for a few weeks, then the hair starts coming through for your next wax. We need at least 3 weeks growth to wax you otherwise the hair is too short for the wax to grip.

The regrowth is much more soft and sparse than from shaving, usually we see peoples growth reduce to about 30% after their first wax and it will usually stay that way as long as you stay consistent and book your appointments for every 4-6 weeks. Keeping consistent and regular also means it gets way easier and more comfortable for you because of the continued reduced growth.

However if you aren’t consistent with waxing appointments and leave it to grow you will eventually end up with full hair growth again.

Laser is different.

We don’t need (or want) any hair at the surface for laser. So this gives you the option to continue shaving if you wish. You don’t have to though, you only have to shave before your appointment.

After your laser treatment the hairs will slowly grow for a couple of weeks then just drop out and most of those hairs will never come back! So you’ll be pretty bald for a bit after that, then the next growth will start to come through. At this point you can shave if you want, or not, it’s totally up to you.

Your initial 4-6 treatments will be anything from 2 - 5 months apart depending on your growth. Then once we’ve achieved a good level of clearance you can have maintenance treatments to kill off any new growth as and when, usually annually.

Much like waxing with each treatment it will get less uncomfortable. The sensation of laser is different to waxing, it’s a hot and prickly feeling that you get. To be honest most people say the cool packs are the worst part 🥶

So if you’re fed up of shaving rash and stubble, make it your New Year’s resolution to do something about it!

I’ll never get over these Laser Hair Removal results.

This client has PCOS, which had given her strong facial hair growth.

At consultation I couldn’t really give her any idea on a treatment plan at all because hormonal growth is stubborn and will usually just keep on coming until the hormones are balanced. She’d also already had a course of laser treatment through the NHS which as you can see was unsuccessful.

Based on that I originally said that after her initial treatments to clear the hair, I thought she would need continued maintenance treatment every three months to keep on top of the results.

But we are beyond thrilled that she’s now going 5-6 months between treatments 🎉

There’s still a couple of stubborn areas, which we absolutely expected, but these results are just amazing and I’m so happy for my client.

It’s changed her life - she’s no longer shaving twice a day, she will now leave the house without makeup on, and her skin texture has improved SO much now the hairs are reduced.

Laser hair removal isn’t only for vanity, it’s for sanity!
