Waxing in Maple Ridge
Waxing is a popular method of hair removal that can be used on a variety of body parts, including the legs, arms, bikini area, and face.
About Waxing for Hair Removal
The process involves applying a thin layer of wax to the skin, then using a strip of cloth or paper to remove the wax (and hair) from the skin. Many people find that waxing provides longer-lasting results than shaving, as it removes hair from the root.

Our team of skilled professionals offers both traditional waxing services as well as laser hair removal for those who are interested in permanent hair reduction.

The Positive Results
Benefits
Long-lasting Results
Waxing removes hair from the root, resulting in smoother skin for longer periods compared to shaving.
Exfoliation
Waxing also acts as a form of exfoliation, removing dead skin cells and leaving the skin feeling smoother.
No Risk of Cuts
Unlike shaving, there's no risk of nicks or cuts with waxing.
Finer and Softer Hair Regrowth
Over time and with consistent waxing, the hair that grows back is often finer and softer, making it less noticeable.
Reduced Risk of Ingrown Hairs
Proper waxing techniques can reduce the chances of getting ingrown hairs.
Cost-effective
In the long run, waxing may reduce the frequency and cost of hair removal when compared to daily or weekly shaving.

Waxing for Your Face
When it comes to hair removal, there are a lot of options available. Shaving, tweezing, and laser are just a few of the methods that people use to get rid of unwanted hair. However, waxing is often seen as the best option for removing hair from the face.
That’s because it’s relatively quick, efficient, and long-lasting. Waxing removes hair from the root, so it takes longer for the hair to grow back. Regrowth is typically much finer and less noticeable than with other methods. If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to get rid of unwanted facial hair, waxing may be the right option for you. Just be sure to book an appointment at Highland Salon and Medi Spa!
