Top To Toe Waxing

There’s something special about walking into a wax appointment knowing you don’t have to apologise for your body, your hair, your age or your nerves.

You chat, you laugh, you put the world to rights… and before you know it, one of the most intimate treatments you’ll ever have is over.

No judgement. No awkwardness. Just kindness, professionalism and a safe space.

Because every woman and every man deserves to feel comfortable in the treatment room. 🤍

Want to come onboard? Send me a message and I’ll add you to my waitlist.

I wonder if she’d recognise me. 🤍

She’d probably be horrified that we can buy our own cake but more often choose vegetables. And delighted that we still laugh at things we probably shouldn’t.

How do you explain fifty years of living to a little girl whose biggest concern was what she could play with next?

There’s so much I’d want to tell her. But mostly, I’d want her to feel safe to be loud, silly, curious and entirely herself.

And perhaps I owe 53-year-old me a bit more of that freedom too.

I can’t go back and hold her hand. But I can be a little kinder to the woman she became.

What would your little you make of you today? 🤍

Would your little you be proud of today’s you?

Honestly, I’ve stopped asking, “What else could possibly go wrong?”

Because apparently life takes that as a challenge. 😂

At this point, I’m running on caffeine, sarcasm and the blind confidence of a Gen X woman who has survived every single plot twist so far.

Plans falling apart? I’ll rearrange them.
Something breaks? I’ll figure it out.
Unexpected chaos on a random Tuesday? Of course there is.

Will I panic? Probably.
Overthink it? Absolutely.
Swear a bit? Without question.

But I’ll still get back up, sort it out and keep going—because that’s what I do.

Welcome to the f**kery. Please keep your arms and legs inside the sh*tshow at all times. 😂

Your body doesn’t need an attractiveness score.
Your femininity isn’t measured by how much hair you remove.
And feeling confident shouldn’t depend on somebody first convincing you that you’re a problem.

Wax because you enjoy the result—not because an advert, influencer or algorithm made you feel ashamed.

Every body is a waxing body. Hairy, smooth, scarred, soft, ageing, changing—and entirely welcome.

If you want expert intimate waxing without the judgement or body-shaming nonsense, the Top to Toe Waxing waitlist is open.

CAN I BE WAXED DURING PERIMENOPAUSE?

Waxing during perimenopause is still safe and effective, but there are some important
changes and considerations to keep in mind due to
shifts in hormones and skin sensitivity.

Here’s what you should know:

⸻

🧬 How Menopause Affects the Skin
1. Thinner Skin: Oestrogen levels drop, reducing
collagen and elastin, making skin more fragile.
2. Dryness: Skin may be drier and more prone to
irritation.
3. Slower Healing: The skin takes longer to recover
from stress or trauma (like waxing).
4. Increased Sensitivity: Some women become more
sensitive to pain or temperature changes.

🧖‍♀️ Waxing Tips for Menopausal Women

✅ Before Waxing
• Hydrate your skin: Moisturise regularly (not the day
of waxing), especially if you’re experiencing dryness.
Exfoliating upto the day before your wax will help the
waxing process and reduce the risk of ingrown hairs.
• Avoid caffeine as this can cause dehydration and
also extra sensitivity.

✅ During Waxing
• Opt for hot wax. It’s less aggressive on delicate skin
than soft/strip wax.
• Ask for small sections to be done at a time if
sensitivity is an issue.
• Consider timing: Mid-cycle (if you’re still
perimenopausal) may be less painful than around your
period.

✅ Aftercare
• Soothe with aloe vera or a calming cream (no
fragrance or alcohol).
• Avoid friction, heat, and sweat for 24–48 hours.
• Exfoliate gently 2–3 days post-wax to prevent
ingrown hairs, but avoid anything too harsh.

⸻

🚫 When to Avoid Waxing
• If you’re on certain medications (like blood thinners,
steroids, or acne treatments), if you’re using retinol on
your face avoid to prevent facial skin lifting.
• If you’ve recently suntanned whether this is sunlight
or using a tanning bed.

Hope you’re all happy. I’m now cold, it’s dark before I’ve finished work, and apparently everything needs to taste like a scented candle. 🎃😂

You can keep your pumpkin spice. I’d like sunshine and a double espresso, please.

Who’s loving the cosy season… and who’s already fallen out with it? 🍂
