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…

Welcome to Peachy by Eva. The salon is based in Blush Beauty Bar, in central Manchester, Northern Quarter. 65-67 lever street, northern quarter, Manchester M1 1FL. They are just on the side street at the big grey door! You can buzz in at ‘blush beauty’ at the door. All nail treatments are done on natural nails only, meaning I do not offer extensions (however, I can offer a paper nail form if one nail has broken to add the length to match the others). I want you to feel as comfortable as possible. If you’d like a little peace and quiet during your treatment, just choose the Quiet Time option when booking — no need to chat, just relax and they will leave you to chill.
I do not remove BIAB previously done by another salon. That is not offered in my treatment menu. If you book in for gel removal and come in with BIAB, I unfortunately will have to refuse the service and the fees still apply. The same applies if you are expecting extensions - I will be unable to do your treatment and you will still be charged, unless you are happy to go ahead I’ll without extensions.
