Hair Removal De-Mystified at Le Petit Spa - Vancouver's Day Spa

Vancouver, BC – CANADA- Soft, smooth skin looks and feels sexy and it is no secret that both men and women will go to great lengths to achieve less hair on their bodies. Le Petit Spa provides hair removal services in a natural/holistic way and finds both waxing and threading to be within the top services requested each month. Ranked within the top three spa’s in Vancouver, here are the secrets that make them the best hair removers:

Waxing:

· Le Petit uses a cream wax for all services. It is made for sensitive skin and works well with oil for Brazilians.

· The Le Petit Spa technique includes ensuring that the wax strip is removed horizontally to the skin as opposed to vertically to ensure less stress on the skin and hair follicles and eliminate the possibility of bruising. The esthetician will always place her hand on the freshly waxed area very quickly and gently for a few seconds to minimize the shock on the skin and follicles while also soothing the area.

· Le Petit Spa’s Signature Tea Tree lotion is then applied directly after the service and recommended for home care to provide a soothing, natural antiseptic for the skin that helps eliminate ingrown hairs.

Bikini Waxing:

A delicate subject for an even more delicate area, outlined below is each service and the differences between them:

· Bikini Waxing – All hair is removed outside of your regular panty line down through the inner thigh. (For thong panty lines please see French Bikini.)

· French Bikini Waxing – A little more intimate, the French bikini wax moves just under the panty line, covering more area while avoiding any dangly bits and the derriere.

· Brazilian – The crème de la crème of all wax jobs, it is no coincidence that this service was named after a country famous for its beautiful women and their “barely there” bikini’s. It is also no coincidence that it is the top wax service rendered at Le Petit Spa. In this service, your esthetician may surprise you by finding and removing hair in areas you’ve never even considered. Your bikini area will be as smooth as a sphinx along with your derriere, its great divide, your “dangly bits” and the front should you so choose. You will be given a choice of design for the “patch” up in front should you decide to keep it and the most popular choices are the Telly Savales (aka – bald), a landing strip, or an upside down triangle. Whatever your preference, your esthetician will work with you to create your own unique masterpiece.

Threading:

This service dates back to ancient times and is perfect for facial hair. Providing clean lines and beautiful arches to eyebrows, this service is safe for sensitive skin and results last for 2-4 weeks.

· Hair is removed from the follicle with a loop made in a strand of cotton thread held by one end in the mouth of the practitioner. The strand is wound around each individual hair like a lasso and then is pulled out by the root.

· Le Petit Spa houses three of the best threaders in Vancouver who are constantly requested by name; Kalpana –who originates from India, Lulu from Turkey, and Claudia from Romania.

Wednesdays=Wax-Days:

Waxing is so popular at Le Petit Spa we’ve created an entire day of the week to it. When clients book two services on Wednesdays they receive 50% off of the lesser of the two. (Combination packages not included)...Read more.
