If you have sensitive skin, you might wonder, “Is waxing safe for me?” At The Nail Squad, the answer is a confident yes! We take extra care to ensure that our waxing services are safe, gentle, and tailored to all skin types—including the most delicate.

With our skilled techniques and premium Depileve wax products, we prioritise your comfort and skin health every step of the way.

Why Waxing Can Be Safe for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin requires special attention, and waxing done the right way can be a great option. Here’s why:

Removes Hair from the Root: Waxing eliminates the need for daily shaving, which can cause irritation, razor burns, and nicks.
Customised Products: Using the right wax makes all the difference. Depileve, our preferred brand, is formulated to be kind to sensitive skin.
Less Frequent Hair Removal: Waxing reduces hair regrowth over time, meaning fewer sessions and less skin disruption.

Waxing kit essentials arranged neatly on a pink background, featuring wax cartridges, wooden spatulas, and fabric strips.

Why We Use Depileve for Sensitive Skin

At The Nail Squad, we trust Depileve for its high-quality performance and gentle formulas. Here’s what makes it the perfect choice for sensitive skin:

Soothing Ingredients: Enriched with calming agents like aloe vera, chamomile, and tea tree oil, Depileve wax reduces irritation and redness.
Adheres to Hair, Not Skin: Depileve wax grips the hair effectively without excessive pulling on the skin, minimising discomfort.
Specialised Waxes for Delicate Areas: From facial waxing to bikini areas, Depileve offers a range of options designed specifically for sensitive zones.

Our Gentle Waxing Techniques

Our technicians are trained to ensure your waxing experience is as gentle and effective as possible:

Patch Test: For first-time clients with sensitive skin, we recommend a patch test to ensure compatibility.
Low-Temperature Waxing: Depileve’s low-temperature waxes are ideal for sensitive skin, reducing the risk of heat-related irritation.
Aftercare Focus: We apply post-wax care products like soothing lotions or gels to calm your skin and enhance healing.

Aftercare for Sensitive Skin

To keep your skin looking and feeling great post-wax, follow these tips:

Avoid Irritants: Skip fragranced lotions, hot showers, and tight clothing for 24–48 hours.
Hydrate: Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser to keep skin soft.
Protect Against Sun: Freshly waxed skin is more sensitive to UV rays, so apply sunscreen if exposed.
