Gently exfoliating and moisturising your skin with a gentle scrub a couple of days before your appointment will help you get the best results from your wax.

IF you already have a suitable scrub, then gently exfoliating the area a couple of days before your wax can help. Exfoliating clears dead skin and other debris, which helps untrap any hairs that may be struggling to break through. Be careful not to use anything that’s too harsh, abrasive or heavily-perfumed though as it’s important not to irritate the area!

Be sure to have a shower and put on clean underwear on the day of your wax to ensure you are clean and fresh when we see you.
If you don’t regularly exfoliate, you’re likely to have a lot of dead skin that traps hairs underneath it, which could lead to ingrowns or may mean that the wax just can’t grab all of the hairs. By exfoliating and removing the dead skin, you’ll be releasing those hairs, making it possible to remove them. Just make sure not to irritate the area!

Please do not apply any product (e.g. moisturisers) to the area being waxed on the day of your appointment!

It shouldn’t be a problem, no. Every new client at nkd will have a pre-wax consultation, during which we’ll ask about your skin type and other relevant medical details, which we’ll then make a note of on your file so we can be sure to use the most appropriate products for you.

We use Perron Rigot’s gentle Cirépil Euroblonde non-strip wax for all intimate and bikini waxing at nkd, which is specially developed for the optimum removal of the hair in this area.

The high quality of the wax we use at nkd means that we can reach the shorter, finer hairs better than most other waxes. However, we still recommend a minimum of 4 weeks’ regrowth to get the best results. If you have removed the hair via waxing/shaving/plucking or any other way any less than 4 weeks ago, then please bear in mind that although we may still be able to carry out your wax, you are likely to get some regrowth quite soon after your treatment. We advise that you do not book an appointment if you removed your hair less than 3 weeks ago.

Worried that your pubic hair is too long? No problem- if it needs to be trimmed, we’ll do this for you as part of your treatment. Please do not trim at home beforehand.

Absolutely, as long as you wear a tampon or menstrual cup during your treatment.

Please note that nkd’s strict 24-hour cancellation and appointment change policy applies at all times. We are unable to cancel or change appointments free-of-charge with less than 24 hours’ notice, even if you are on your period. If you are not prepared or able to wear a tampon or menstrual cup and are booked in for an intimate wax, then your options are to either; replace your intimate wax with an alternative treatment of equivalent length and value; find someone else to take your appointment slot; or forfeit your appointment on the day, understanding that you be will charged in full unless we manage to fill your slot with another paying client. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with this delicate matter.

This is a great question, and one which you should pay close attention to, as using the wrong products on your intimate areas could lead to significant discomfort and irritation.

At nkd we have used our years of experience and expertise to create the perfect products for your at home aftercare – suitable for use immediately post waxing as well as your daily/ everyday use.  nkd’s essential aftercare products include a cleansing body wash, exfoliating body scrub and soothing body balm.

We also sell more specific products, such as specialist ingrown hair solutions for problem areas, and anti-regrowth solutions to help reduce the amount of hair that grows back.

We recommend that you talk to your therapist about these products when you come in for your appointment. We’d also strongly advise against picking out any old scrub/cream from the back of your bathroom cabinet to use before and after your wax. The fact is that most exfoliators and moisturisers shouldn’t be used on intimate areas, so please proceed with caution here!

Please make sure you are freshly showered and are wearing clean underwear.

Please do not exfoliate or apply products to the intimate area on the day of your appointment

Please try and arrive 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. We are a busy salon with back-to-back appointments. For any clients who do arrive late, we may be able to carry out part of the original treatment (depending on how late you are), or you will need to book – and pay for – a new appointment time. In both scenarios, the original booked appointment will still be charged in full.

Please remember that we have a strict 24-hour appointment change and cancellation policy. Any appointments that are cancelled or changed with less than 24’ hours notice, and all no-show appointments, will be charged in full, using the card details we hold on file for you. Thank you for your understanding.
