Best Back Wax near me in Thorpe Hamlet, Norwich

You should aim to get your back waxed every 4-6 weeks. That is roughly how long it takes for the hair to grow back and be long enough to be waxed effectively.

Back waxing may cause some discomfort, particularly in denser hair areas. However, many clients find it quite tolerable with an experienced therapist. The sensation is brief and results last far longer than shaving.

Fresha lists a wide range of waxing salons offering back waxing, all with verified client reviews. Sort by rating to find the best near you.

Back waxing is a hair removal method where hot wax is applied to your back and then removed with a strip of cloth or paper, which also removes back hair from the roots. The treatment is carried out by a licensed esthetician who will use a spatula to apply the wax in small sections on the back, then remove it using the strip of cloth or paper.

Make sure the hair on your back is at least a quarter of an inch long (0.6cm), so the wax can grip the hair effectively. Avoid sun exposure for at least a day before your treatment, and do not apply any oils or lotions to the area before the appointment. You should also exfoliate the area 1-2 days before the appointment.

Back waxing typically costs between £20 and £31 depending on the area covered. Fresha shows upfront pricing before you book.

Back waxing is possible at home, but we recommend you have a professional to avoid any mistakes or injuries. If you do decide to do it at home, use high-quality wax, apply it in small sections, and pull the strip in the opposite direction of hair growth. You should also follow the same preparation and aftercare practices as you would with a professional appointment.
