Note from the founder

Founder Gail few words:

‘My Mission Has Always Been To Make Women And Men Look And Feel Great, Inside And Out. With LuxWax I Wanted To Create An Oasis Where My Clients Come To Feel Special. From Great Products To Amazing Services, A Good Waxing Experience Should Empower You To Feel Your Best, Without Shame Or Judgment.’

Like all bad love stories, if it hurts, it’s not right… LuxWax started in 2015 when founder Gail was left traumatised after yet another bad wax. Convinced that waxing shouldn’t be associated with pain, she set about to change the way we wax and feel – for the better… by putting the lux into wax. At LuxWax, we believe waxing shouldn’t be a burden so much as a restorative self-care ritual. That’s why we developed our very own signature waxing technique and only use the best waxes, designed to work on the most sensitive skin types and the finest of hairs.

All of our therapists are passionate about hair removal. They are highly trained and have an in-depth knowledge to put you at ease and offer you the ultimate experience.

Simply choose your treatment, book and relax. The Pleasure Is All Yours…
