It’s always lovely to receive such fab reviews.

I work really hard to give you a good experience; I’ve heard so many horror stories and I don’t ever want to be one of them! ❤️

Call me a**l, but it’s my absolute bugbear when I see fellow pros calling it ‘lazer’ 😩

I’m not judging anyone’s spelling ability here, but as you can see from this post, it’s simply incorrect. It’s not a regional spelling difference, like when Americans sometimes use a Z instead of an S, it’s just fundamentally wrong.

And I’ll be honest, it might not be totally their fault.

There’s a lot of poor education in this industry. Many laser providers complete only a half-day course focused on operating the machine, with little or no theory covering the biology and physics that are critical for safe, effective treatments.

So there’s a good chance that the fact the word laser is an acronym might not have even been covered.

But this inadequate training is why you see poor results, 20 treatments in and you’re still hairy, or even worse, skin damage.

I have spent a lot of time and money on training to the highest level available. I’m confident in my knowledge, treatments and the results I get for my clients.

Spelling mistakes happen and not everyone is good at spelling, I totally get that. It’s not like I’m perfect or have an English degree or anything.

But accuracy in technical terminology is important. It’s the least we can do to show that we are professionals who know our s**t.

These are Class 4 medical lasers that we are using, after all.

So it does leave me wondering, if someone is so blasé or inadequately educated to spell laser incorrectly (and BTW, autocorrect won’t actually let me type ‘lazer’, so they’re fighting it to do so 🤣), then what else are they blasé or inadequately educated about.

Laser is serious stuff and should be treated as such!

It’s not just firing a laser at the skin that gives the results, there’s much more to it than that.

The timing, the preparation, the procedure, the client selection, they all matter. 🧐

Providing you have the appropriate hair colouring, bad results more often than not just come from bad techniques and badly trained technicians.

I speak to many clients that have had 10+ treatments elsewhere with pretty poor results. When you compare that to the amazing results I’m seeing after just a few treatments, it’s clear that something is being done differently.

I work on efficiency; I want you to get the best results from as few treatments as possible. I’ve trained to the highest level I can to achieve that for you.

That’s why I charge more than a lot of other places, because I take more time to perform each treatment (I’ve seen people offering full body in half hour, I honestly don’t know how they do it - I book an hour just to do your lower legs!) and overall you will need less treatments!

Of course, results vary. Human bodies and hair growth are unpredictable. But rest assured I will never ever try and just rip you off and take your money if I think you’ll get poor results. If nothing else I want to get you good results to feed my own ego 😂🙈

But seriously, I’ll never BS you, and I’ve turned people away for laser hair removal because they weren’t suitable candidates (usually the hair isn’t the right colour) whereas I know for a fact that other clinics would have treated them and took their money.

If ever I feel like maybe your results won’t be fantastic I’ll always tell you and give you the choice, you can always try a couple of treatments and see how you get on.

Imagine just totally forgetting about your once hairy bits, getting dressed and not having to worry that you forgot to shave your armpits! We’ve all been there!

Laser hair removal can be totally life changing.

If you want to get on board just get in touch, we can get your consultation and patch test booked in and get you on your way to long lasting smooth skin! ❤️

Cannot tell you how important it is to book in advance guys! The diary is open two months in advance.

Waxing should be booked every 4-6 weeks, this keeps on top of the growth and makes it as comfortable as possible for you. I personally like to do mine every 4 weeks, because at 4 weeks I don’t even flinch but at 6 weeks it takes all my courage to pull those strips off myself 😆

Also, shout out to any newbies lurking in the shadows 👀 waiting to jump out on me in June ready for your holiday, please make yourself known now - you will get waaaaay better results if you’ve had a few waxes before your holiday!! Fill out the new client form in my website and we can get the ball rolling (link in bio).

Laser clients you’re looking at rebooking every 8-12 weeks, so if you’ve had a few treatments already and we’re spacing them out a bit more you will probably need to add yourself to the waitlist or pop a note in your diary to get booked if you’re going longer than 8 weeks. And don’t forget to check pre and post care for rules around uv exposure and mediations. Really important to time it right!

The link to book is in my bio 😘

I cannot tell you how pleased I am with these laser hair removal results after just five treatments 😍

This client had been previously waxing with me for just over a year but we never got a great finish due to the sheer amount of hair and growth cycles she had - we’d wax out what was above the skin but there was AAAALWAYS dark hairs visible under the skin still…

NOT ANYMORE!!! 🥳

She will probably have her 6th treatment in January now, that will be six months since her fifth treatment in July!

Laser hair removal may seem like its a lot of time, effort and money. But actually the treatments aren’t as often as waxing and then when you get to the point that you can start going six months between treatments it’s an absolute doss and I promise you - you will wish you started sooner 😆 this client did!!

Who relates?! 🙈

With hormonal changes it’s really common for women to grow hairs in new places such as chin, sideburns, ni***es, backs of thighs.

If they bother you I can help!

If the hairs are dark and you want a more permanent option then laser hair removal is fab.

If the hairs are white or blonde then laser won’t work; but waxing can be done on hair any colour which will eventually weaken the growth.

As for your pencil thin overplucked 90’s eyebrows… join the club 🤣

🍂 Why keep waxing through autumn?

✨ Hair grows back finer and softer with consistent waxing

✨ Easier to let hair grow for your first few waxes when you’re covered up in cosy clothes

✨ Less shaving = less irritation, less itching

✨ Less growth = less discomfort - NOBODY looks forward to their first wax for the spring with 6 months of overgrowth!

✨ But keep it up over autumn and winter and by next summer, your regrowth will be lighter, sparser & easier to manage — so you’ll be effortlessly beach-ready ☀️

📅 September is pretty much fully booked, but you can get your October appointment booked in today and stay one step ahead for next summer!

Always accepting new clients 😘

It’s not boring. It’s SUPER important! 😆

I’d be mortified if I thought someone thought the salon was dirty. Hygiene is top priority!

The stories I’ve heard and the things I’ve seen, wax pots that are covered in sticky dirty wax that’s obviously been accumulating for months, and on the floors, and a manky spatula sat there in the pot for days on end. Not to mention the bowl of laser gel that gets used for every client that day, with the spatula getting dipped back in it. 🤮 Ugh god, can’t even think about it, it’s so gross.

Won’t happen on my watch anyway!
You’re safe with me ❤️

My client had to have an emergency operation on her bum, so she had to cancel her last appt and I’ve not seen her for a couple of months. But I think she’s just re-traumatised herself all over again by shaving!

Just don’t do it guys, it’s not worth the itch!

It’s also going to take her about 3 or 4 appointments to get the shaved hairs all gone, because hairs sit dormant in the follicles for months sometimes before a new hair pushes it out.

So if you’ve shaved between waxes, one wax won’t get you back to the normal smooth results you were getting from waxing beforehand! You’ll still get stubble til all the dormant shaved hairs are pushed out by the next hair.

This is your warning 🤣⚠️
