We know it can be a little unsatisfying to grow your hair out, especially when the temperature rises, but there are many benefits to waxing versus other forms of hair removal.

Waxing is a long-lasting method and it is effective to remove large amounts of hair. Hair in waxed areas is absent for longer periods of time, which is great during those much needed vacations and beloved summer activities. Although shaving is a quick-fix, it can be painful, irritating, and the stubble may reappear as soon as you have that 5:00 cocktail.

Starting a waxing schedule now gives you plenty of time to reduce and slow down hair growth before you slip into your beachwear. Waxing is a great method of hair removal because you will notice your hair growing back much softer due to the weakened hair follicles.

After a few quick appointments, you will also notice your hair thinning out and becoming sparse. In addition to soft, fine hair, waxing helps to regulate your hair cycles so you can have smooth, hair-free skin for longer periods of time.

Don’t let your stubborn, unwanted hair hold you back from venturing out this summer season-Now is the perfect time to get a couple waxes under your belt (no pun intended) so you are ready to bare it all in just a few short months!

When we think back to prehistoric times, the image of a beastly caveman comes to mind with hair from head to toe. However, this was not always the case. The removal of facial and body hair dates back as early as 30,000 BC!!

Whatever your reason is for getting rid of it, there is no denying it has become a major trend over the past couple decades. In a 1915 edition of Harper’s Bazaar magazine, a model was featured showing bare shoulders and underarms. This prompted a campaign convincing women that underarm hair was neither feminine nor hygienic. Within two years, removing underarm hair became the norm.

Waxing is a relatively new form of hair removal, but it too, dates back as far as Ancient Egyptian times. Women during this era would mix sticky substances such as oil, honey and sugar together to get rid of those pesky unwanted hairs.

However, it wasn’t until the 60’s that waxing became the new trend- with the invention of the classic bikini. After this, women began experimenting and in 1994 the first Brazilian wax was introduced- quickly becoming the most popular service amongst hair removal specialists. Just last year, we did over 4,700 Brazilians!!

We aren’t  exactly sure what the future holds as far as trends in facial and body hair, but we can guarantee to meet all your waxing needs, especially in those intimate places. Now is the perfect time to join the hair removal revolution and try those services you’ve always wanted…Because with no hair, you have more to bare ;)

Well, now you can! OC Waxing is now offering Softtap permanent cosmetics. Enhance your natural features and put your makeup applicators to rest! With permanent cosmetics, an entirely new look can be achieved through the delicate structure of that perfect eyebrow arch, or flawlessly lined eyes and lips.

The softtap process, performed by the wonderful Pia Rotman, is gentle and less invasive than most permanent cosmetic procedures and has minimal downtime. This technique does not use any type of tattoo gun or machine device like regular tattooing!

 Softap tattooing can also be used to camoflague scars and even out skin damage and discoloration. With custom colors and the perfect technique, Pia is able to create an entirely new you in as little as one appointment!

 

 

Curious about the end-result? Just take a look at us! Carolyn, Cami and Kaitlyn all have permanent cosmetics!

Over the past year, we have expanded our salon by adding two additional service rooms- which resulted in a bigger (and greater!) team of girls, including our newest Waxologist, the lovely Brie Toye! Last year also brought some personal blessings, such as an engagement for Cristina, a beautiful baby girl for Pia, and an adorable puppy for Cami.

With more space and one-of-a- kind waxologists, OC Waxing was able to accommodate more clients and meet some truly amazing people. OC Waxing also hosted our first annual Bald for Boobs charity event to benefit Breast Cancer Awareness in October. It was a fun filled day of waxing (obviously!), raffles, and shopping, and with the help of the community, we were able to raise nearly $3,000!!

Our clients are some of the greatest people we know and I feel so fortunate to have a salon in this awesome community. As for the upcoming year, my staff and I will be hard at work with our own product line, opening a new location, and taking over the Orange County area- one hair at a time!

As the owner of OC Waxing & Aesthetics, it is my goal to keep providing the BEST waxing services possible, with top of the line products, a professional and friendly staff, and a comfortable salon environment that you won’t be able to find anywhere else.

Again, a sincere thank you from myself and the ladies of OC Waxing for making 2011 an unforgettable year.

Sincerely,

Carolyn Staples
