5 Reasons You Should Not Let Your BFF
Wax Your Eyebrows!
You may not think about it much, but eyebrows can make or break your entire look! You can have gorgeous eye make-up, but it’s completely ruined if your brows look like a hairy beast!
Of course, there is the other end of the spectrum, waxing brows too thin. Today’s style is a full, natural-looking brow. Extremely thin brows are a stark contrast and look very unnatural.
Because eyebrows are so important to your face and your overall look, it’s really important to have a trained professional wax them.
Here’s what we look at before we ever touch your brows:
1. The natural shape of your brow — It’s best not to work against nature. Instead, we follow her lead.
2. Your face shape-The shape of your face is equally important to gorgeous brows. The wrong brow shape can make your face look more narrow, wider, or just plain flat!
3. The arch of your brow — Many people put the arch in the wrong place and that works against your whole look. We have a tried-and-true technique that always puts the arch exactly where it belongs.
4. Stopping point — It’s important to know just where to end your brow. You don’t want it too long or it will make your eye area look droopy. If they are too short, brows will look weirdly rectangular.
5. Plucking — We keep this to a bare minimum. Over plucking will eventually create a thin brow and you don’t want that. Only pluck once every 3 weeks.
Waxing that enhances your whole look takes skill, training, and experience, and that’s what we do best!

What To Ask Before Getting Waxed By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Getting a Brazilian wax for the first time can be scary. You heard about other women’s bad experiences. You’ve seen how movies use waxing as a topic for comedy. It’s no wonder you have to think twice, thrice, even more times to seriously consider getting it done.
So, the best way to go about this is to get accurate information before you schedule your appointment.
And this is where we come in.
In order to get a good and non-frightening experience at a waxing salon, it’s best to ask a few questions to put your mind at ease.
- Ask about the technician’s qualifications. Where did she get her training? How long has she been doing Brazilians? Does she have any testimonials?
- Ask about the type of wax used. The best to use for Brazilians is a hard wax. Make sure the wax adheres only to the hair, not to the skin. It would be a lot more painful otherwise.
- Ask about hygienic practices. What is used to prevent the spread of bacteria, fungi, and the like? How do they ensure your health safety and that of the technician? Is everything disposable?
- Ask about topical pain relief. Do they have a topical to apply to reduce pain? Do they have recommendations for reducing pain before you get to your appointment?
Any reputable spa will welcome these questions and encourage more. We sure do!

Is There A Difference Between Salon Wax And Convenience Store Brands? By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Sometimes our clients tell us they try to wax at home, often with disastrous results. Most people don’t realize that waxing is a skill. It’s not as easy as it looks!
If experience is one-half of a successful waxing experience, then the other half is the product. Store brands are not always as effective in removing hair, requiring several applications, and that causes unnecessary irritation.
What’s worse, convenience store waxes adhere to your skin taking off the top layer with the wax, exposing it to possible infection.
Our wax does no such thing. It adheres only to the hair. You can imagine the difference that makes in your overall waxing experience!
With our professional salon wax, you get the added benefit of soothing agents to prevent inflammation and irritation.
Because we have been professionally trained and have years of know-how, your waxing appointments are quick and as hygienic as humanly possible without unnecessary pain.
It’s experience that pays you back!

How To Get A Flawless Bikini Wax By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
Who doesn’t love a smooth bikini area? It takes all the worry out of going to the beach. It also gives your whole intimate area a cleaner more defined look.
Because bikini waxing can be uncomfortable, and for some, embarrassing, we go the extra mile for our clients.
You are draped at all times and we use a disposable G-string to add to your comfort. The G-string actually helps us to do a more precise job. You can show us the line of your swimsuit using the G-string as a guide.
This allows us to further tailor your wax to your needs. Next up is the wax itself. You won’t find this kind of wax in a convenience store. Our wax does not adhere to your skin, only the hair.
That means less discomfort you. And to further reduce discomfort, we apply a pre-oil to soften your skin and reduce irritation.
As seasoned wax professionals, we know that women are more sensitive to pain around the time of their menstrual cycle. That’s why we encourage you to schedule your bikini wax a week before or after your period.
Lastly, you can rest assured that hygiene is a top priority with us. We use only disposable panties and we never, ever double dip wax spatulas!
A few quick minutes in our experienced care and you’re off to enjoy your flawless wax!

How We Got Our PhD in Brazilian Waxing! By Beauty Salon Great Missenden – Call Us On 01494 865005
We’re so committed to giving you worry-free Brazilian waxing that we did our homework and go a PhD. Now you don’t have to wrinkle a brow when you’re in our capable hands!
To get this prestigious degree, we had to make an over-the-top commitment to your health and ours. That’s why:
• We use only hard wax for Brazilians. It’s made with salon quality ingredients that ensure exceptional results.
• Our wax has a creamy texture, and does not crack or get brittle on your skin. Best of all, it absolutely does not adhere to your skin, only hair—a real pain reducer!
• Our wax does not lift off the top layer of your skin, leaving the area susceptible to infection, like most waxes! Remember, it doesn’t adhere to your skin.
• It also contains *titanium oxide, which makes it ideal for sensitive skin.
• Our wax has been approved for use by dermatologists. And you know how fussy they are!
• Our spatulas are disposable, which reflects our commitment to your health and ours. And absolutely no double dipping! We stop cross contamination before it can stop.
• We use a pre-wax oil to soften your skin and further reduce pain.
And that’s how you get a degree of Professional, Hygenic, and Disposable (PhD) in Brazilian waxing. We love what we do and it shows!
