About waxing & Brazilian waxing

Waxing is the removal of unwanted hair. At Delete, we wax the entire body except for the hair on your head. We’ll leave that job up to your hair stylist. Why wax? Hair removal with wax is an ancient tradition that has made a recent comeback. More and more women and men are discovering the benefits of waxing versus shaving, creams and so called “permanent” hair removal methods. Waxing is the only method that keeps the hairs away for weeks, whilst keeping your skin soft and clean. Sounds nice, doesn’t it? No stubble, no itching and no ingrown hairs. In the mid 1990’s, waxing made its first comeback in South America (origin of the Brazilian wax) and then travelled to the United States, Australia and Asia. In the beginning of this century, the trend has travelled to Europe where its most popular in the South of Europe. Now Delete wants to share the benefits of waxing with the Netherlands; as well as the rest of Northern Europe.

Brazilian wax

The most famous and popular wax treatment by far is the Brazilian wax. With this treatment, all pubic hair will be removed and the Brazilian wax can be performed on both women and men (also known as a Boyzilian for men).

The Ultimate Brazilian Wax

We have reviewed and tested different types of techniques and wax that would be ideal for our ultimate Brazilian wax. The application technique and wax itself was developed with Delete’s involvement to uphold our core values: to be professional, hygienic and cause minimal pain. Our Wax Angels specialize in waxing only, so rest assured that you are in heavenly hands with our Wax Angels.

Our Delete Wax

Delete uses several types of wax, all specifically designed and manufactured for Delete. The hard wax was developed to facilitate waxing for short hairs. This wax has a great traction and only attaches to the hair, not to the skin. Thus, making it ideal for sensitive, intimate areas. However the most important feature for our waxes is that they are specifically designed to be as comfortable as possible for our clients Sure, waxing is not entirely painless, with Delete however, it will be far more comfortable.

Wax virgin

Have you never experienced waxing yet, but heard horror stories about people who have gotten wax treatments? Waxing is not painless, but it is far less painful than stories lead you to believe. The first time is the most sensitive because your hair is not used to being treated this way. With your second visit however, you will notice how much less sensitive your skin will be. And after the third time? You will only have soft hair, which is far less painful to wax. Do you find waxing interesting? You are always welcome to visit and have some hair on your arm waxed to see how it feels. Embarrassed? When you come in for your first Brazilian wax, there will be a moment where you will have to take off your underwear. We understand that the first time can be uncomfortable for some. Our Wax Angels see dozens of naked bodies daily, from both women and men, so they have seen it all. No person is alike and that also applies to the pubic area. For our professional Wax Angels, only your satisfaction matters. You can absolutely rely on our discretion and professionalism.

After their internal training at the Delete Academy (6-8 weeks), our Wax Angels are more than experienced in waxing in general, and specialized in Brazilian waxing.

Why wax?

Waxing is the only method of hair removal where you achieve a direct result: wonderfully soft, smooth skin. Waxing is the only method that keeps the hairs away for weeks.

What kinds of wax do you offer?

You can roughly distinguish between two types of wax: hard wax and soft wax. *Hard wax (also called hot film or resin film) is used on the most sensitive body parts (bikini, armpits, face) and soft wax is used for the rest of the body. Hard wax adheres only to the hair and not to the skin, as it naturally becomes hard. *Soft wax is removed with cotton strips after a thin layer has been applied to the waxing area with a metal spatula (legs, arms, chest, back). When using soft wax, the wax does not need to harden in order to remove hair.

How long should my hair be?

The ideal length is 5mm and the maximum length is 1.5cm. Hair that is too short cannot be removed with wax and with long hairs, you feel more pain during the removal. Therefore, we ask you to ensure that your hair must not exceed 1.5cm.

How can I pay at Delete?

At Delete, you can pay with PIN or your credit card. You cannot pay with cash. This is done for security reasons and besides this, more and more companies are no longer accepting cash payments.

Why can I not pay with cash?

Delete only accepts card payments. The reason for this is the safety of our employees as we do not want to have cash in the salons. Luckily almost everyone in Holland either has a debit or credit card. Therefore, we hope this isn’t an inconvenience for anyone. We appreciate your understanding.

Does Delete offer sugaring?

Delete only uses soft wax and hard wax and does not offer sugaring. Sugaring takes longer than a typical treatment with hard or soft wax. Therefore, we think sugaring is not fitting with the Delete mission of providing fast, hygienic and professional waxing.

Can I shave in between waxing treatments?

Sure, you can if you like. But consider this; Besides the inconveniences of shaving such as stubble, itching and possible hives, the hair will grow back faster and thicker. This will make your next wax treatment feel like your first, with more discomfort. Most people who wax are immediately convinced by the benefits of waxing and do not go back to shaving.

When is it not advisable to wax?

For most people, waxing is the ultimate hair removal method, however there are some cases in which it is better not to wax. We do not recommend waxing if clients are using the following medications as it causes sensitive skin, thin skin and weakens the skin: - Retin A - Renova - Differin - Isotretioin - Roaccutane. Please inform a Wax Angel if you have recently stopped taking one of these medications.

I am pregnant, can I wax?

Yes, you can. In many cases, pregnant women have found waxing a better hair removal solution during those nine months. Especially in the last months, shaving can be difficult. And when labor begins, we guarantee a tidy place down there. However, waxing can be slightly more sensitive during pregnancy.

How soon after childbirth may I be waxed?

The return to waxing varies in time per client. As a rule, you can assume that you can be waxed again when you have healed. The Wax Angel will determine discreetly if you are ready for the wax.

Can I get waxed with an intimate piercing?

Of course, you can have a Brazilian or Boyzilian with an intimate piercing. The areas with intimate piercings are normally free of hair. Our Wax Angels can clean the area and work around it.

What if I have damaged, sunburnt or thinner skin?

Please inform our Wax Angel in case you have any damaged, sunburnt, thinner or sensitive skin. They will take this into account and modify the wax treatment to better fit your skin. If the entire surface of the skin you wish to wax is experiencing issues, we advise you not to wax until it’s healed.

I am a man and have small bumps on my chest after being waxed. Where are they coming from?

The skin of the chest of a man is very thin and after the first chest wax, the skin might become irritated. The bumps can appear 24 to 48 hours after waxing. Your second treatment however, will most likely be free of any bumps. Beauty comes with a small price sometimes.

Can I plan multiple appointments ahead?

Of course, you can always make future appointments, we even recommend it. This way you can easily account for special weekends, holidays, or other special occasions. We will arrange the desired planning with you so that you don’t have to worry about making appointments anymore.

Can I bring my child(ren) to Delete?

Bringing your children for the wax treatment could possibly lead to unwanted disturbance in the salon and the cabin. This could affect the quality of the treatment, and therefore we ask you to not bring your children for safety reasons.

Can I bring my animal to Delete?

For hygienic reasons, it is not allowed to bring pets into Delete.

Can I be waxed if I am a minor (under 18 years old)?

Delete waxes everyone, regardless of age. Clients under the age of 18 must have permission from the parent / guardian. At the first appointment, your age will be recored in your file and we will ask if there is consent from your parent / guardian.
