Gentle Care for Delicate Skin

At Shirley’s Mind & Body, we understand that waxing can be a challenge for those with sensitive skin. That’s why we offer specialized waxing services using hypoallergenic waxes and soothing techniques to minimize irritation. Our goal is to provide a smooth, hair-free finish while keeping your skin healthy and comfortable.


What Is Sensitive Skin Waxing?

Sensitive skin waxing is designed for individuals who experience redness, irritation, or discomfort with traditional waxing methods. We use premium hypoallergenic and low-temperature waxes, along with customized pre- and post-wax care, to ensure a gentler experience and exceptional results.

Benefits of Sensitive Skin Waxing

• Minimized Irritation: Specially formulated waxes are gentle on delicate skin.

• Soothing Treatments: Pre- and post-waxing care reduce redness and calm the skin.

• Safe for All Skin Types: Ideal for individuals prone to allergies or using retinoids.

• Long-Lasting Results: Smooth, hair-free skin without the worry of irritation.

Our Sensitive Skin Waxing Process

1. Pre-Wax Preparation

We begin by cleansing the skin and applying a protective pre-waxing treatment to create a barrier and reduce sensitivity.

2. Hypoallergenic Wax Application

Our gentle wax is warmed to a low temperature and applied with precision, ensuring maximum comfort during hair removal.

3. Post-Wax Soothing Care

After waxing, we apply a calming serum or aloe-based gel to soothe the skin and reduce redness, ensuring a comfortable and smooth finish.

Our sensitive skin-friendly treatments are available for all areas of the body, including:


• Facial Waxing: Eyebrows, upper lip, chin, and full face.

• Body Waxing: Arms, legs, underarms, back, chest, and stomach.

• Bikini Waxing: Standard bikini, full bikini, Brazilian, and Hollywood styles.

• Men’s Waxing: Tailored services for men, including back and chest waxing.
