Tips for regular laser clients in lockdown

Laser Hair Removal London Underarm

Are you one of our regular laser clients at Strip and not too sure what you should be doing with your hair and skin during lockdown? Well, our Head of Education, Terri, has pulled together some tips for you to ensure you keep your skin and hair in tip-top condition ready for your next laser session with us.

Exfoliate your skin once a week and moisturise daily!

Don’t let your skin dry out! Ensure you moisturise regularly to help your skin recover. If your skin becomes too dry then this could prolong the treatment and become difficult to treat. Lockdown is the perfect time to prep and pamper your skin! So go ahead and enjoy those regular baths and self-care days!

Do not use wax, epilate or use hair removal creams!

The hair cycle will become disrupted and the laser won’t be as effective. Meaning you may need even more laser appointments to get the outcome you want!

Shave if necessary!

There is a misconception that if you shave more, then the hair will grow back quicker. However, this isn’t the case with laser hair removal, as it destroys the follicles directly and therefore shaving the hair won’t affect the rate of hair growth. So, if you’re absolutely desperate to have smooth skin in lockdown, then shaving as a laser user is a-ok with us. (Definitely NOT for our wax clients though!!)

See you all in the salon soon for your next appointment!

  • My fourth wax at Strip and as always a positive experience! All the ladies are so lovely, professional and knowledgeable, doing whatever they can to ensure you get the best results and have the best experience – I could not recommend Strip enough! Can’t wait to go back again!

  • Hands down the best wax I have ever had. This was my first time going to Strip and there was no pain whatsoever and it was over so quickly! I have very sensitive skin and am always in pain whenever I get a wax however, I had none of these issues here! Will 100% be back.

  • This place is awesome. Every time I’ve come they have offered top notch service. They make me super comfortable, they are beyond friendly, and the wax is done to perfection. All of the Strip locations are great but I think the City location is the best for customer service and friendliness. Highly recommend everyone go here for!!

  • I have been going to Strip Wax for years, and it never disappoints. They always do an excellent job, and make the experience as pain free as waxing allows. Staff are always really helpful, the rooms are gorgeous and they use great products. Would highly recommend.

  • As it was my first waxing I was quite nervous. There was no need to be. The staff were friendly and professional. Eva put me at ease by explaining everything. She did an amazing treatment, virtually pain free. Will definitely be back. Thank you Eva and all the staff .

  • Absolutely amazing wax with Martina today. The whole experience from Terri on reception to the treatment was fantastic and I cannot recommend this salon enough. Having recently undergone extensive surgery for Crohn’s disease, I was nervous for my first wax in a few years and Martina was just amazing she listened to me and made me feel totally relaxed and in safe hands. The wax they use is fantastic and you barely feel a thing. Can’t wait to come back!

  • Have been coming here for over 5 years when I had my first ever Hollywood – I was scared and nervous! It is one of the best salons around – great products, calming atmosphere and fabulous staff. Nicole has made my laser experience so much fun and has always listened to any need I’ve had, she is precise, considerate and a joy to be around! The manager Hannah is also the best and is very thoughtful and kind. Would definitely recommend to any and all friends/family.

  • This was my first Hollywood Wax and I was nervous. The reception staff were extremely helpful with my questions beforehand. Holly my waxing technician, was extremely friendly, helpful and really put me at ease. It hurt a little, but nothing to how I thought it was going to and it was over very quickly. Definitely will be coming back! Thank you to the whole team for a fantastic service!

  • Amazing hot wax as always! I’ve been coming to Strip for ages now and even though I’ve moved away from the area, I always make the journey because it’s more than worth it for a top class wax and as pain free an experience as a hot waxing can be. All the staff are always lovely and welcoming. Thanks ladies!
