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!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Michaela is hands down the best wax therapist I have ever had. She literally is the best. I am never disappointed when my appointment is with her. She’s professional, quick and always does an immaculate job. I actually look forward to my appointments which is quite rare. I can’t recommend her enough!

  • 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!

  • I have been looking for a hair removal salon since leaving NYC. A lot of beauty salons use mediocre wax, however at Strip they use the proper black wax which is the best and most comfortable way to remove hair it is also super quick. Staff could not have been more friendly helpful and professional. I will definitely be returning to Strip!

  • Honestly the best intimate waxing in London. Quick and as pain-free as it’s gonna get. My favourite therapist is Luciana – she’s such a pro and makes the whole experience easy and stress-free.

  • 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 .

  • Just had my very first Brazilian wax and was pretty nervous, but Isobel put me at ease straight away. I felt really cared for and it wasn’t embarrassing at all; and not anywhere near as painful as I’d feared.

    I’ve signed up for their special offer of 5 for the price of 4. Isobel has completely changed the way I think about waxing. Thank you!
