Fancy learning how to pull hair out of people with love in your heart and a smile on your face? Well, we’ve got your back... and shoulders, neck and arms.

In fact, whether you want to learn how to carry out a back wax, tame unruly guy-brows, or offer perfect male Brazilian waxing: Axiom Wax Academy and the London School of Waxing have a course for you.

An area many waxing therapists struggle with when starting out is removing hot wax without resorting to picking.

Here’s a short little video from Andy Rouillard at Axiom Wax Academy, demonstrating various ways of lifting that first bit of non-strip wax... no flick required!

We should ALL be wearing sun protection, all year round, come rain or shine. You know it makes sense. But as the days get longer and the weather warms up, the need for a good SPF is more important than ever.

Let’s be honest: until someone invents the Ultimate Wax Bar, where every pull of the strip is accompanied by an intravenous shot of gin and chocolate, it’s unlikely that waxing is going to feature on many peoples list of ‘fun things to do’. The unfortunate fact is that pulling hair out by the root is always likely to have an element of some discomfort about it.

But it doesn’t need to be dreaded - and neither should it be an exercise in endurance!

Congratulations, it’s quintuplets...

I’m a proud Wax Daddy today. My babies are finally here!!

I’m pleased as punch to unveil the new waxing skincare line from Ashmira Botanica, which I’ve been working on for the past year. It’s an absolutely beautiful range, even if I do say so myself, incorporating both in-salon and retail items to support your waxing services.
