It got me up and out of the house. The treatment was great. Just to sit back, relax and let Farzana do my hair. I left feeling cared for, relaxed and looking amazing. Thank you Ilea!

The service was absolutely amazing ❤️❤️ We really enjoyed the session. The ladies were super professional. Andy and the other lady that assisted us made sure that we were comfortable. The massage was amazing, the oils smell great. The ladies are neat and have great customer service. We will definitely be coming back. The place overall is so clean and the ladies wore their masks throughout. Once again the massage was AWESOME!!! Thank u, thank u, thank u ladies.

I’ve never had lash extensions before and I am literally blown away. They are ridiculously pretty, and very natural looking - with just enough pizazz to really draw attention to my eyes. I’m beyond thrilled with the result. Comfort is a master of her craft and my hour long appointment flew by with her insightful and charming conversation. The application was comfortable and I am not aware of the lashes at all.. except when I look in the mirror!! Gorgeous gorgeous girls get their lashes done by Comfort! I will definitely be back!

Amazing service from Ntombi, as usual. The 30 minute back massage felt like an hour, and a proper massage, not just a superficial rub.

I had a 90 minute Full Body with Mathapelo. My back and neck had been in spasm for over a week, so tbh, the massage was fairly painful in places, but the relief it's brought has made a massive difference. I fell asleep afterwards. Thanks Mats :-)

Head massage was the highlight for the partner. We are both not fans of the mask from the facial as it has an unusual scent. Full body massage - turns out to be only be the entire back, and hands? Also pity electricity went - kudos to the improvising nonetheless. Always kind service, joyful and pleasant therapists always. Thank you.

Chanel may be tiny, but she is a strong and intuitive maseur who sorted out my sore shoulder better than the physio. I will be back.

I am loving my brows and my nails! I usually thread my brows, but with this particular softer experience with wax ( the second time in my life actually), waxing my brows it-is. Thanks Lauren W. 😊

I've had massages all over the world but nothing like today's with Origin Wellness. I did my research before booking, as I am on holiday in Cape Town. It was amazing and during the 90 minute massage I could feel that Rayhaana could feel the tension stored up in my body due to my lifestyle. I felt so much lighter afterwards and have booked in again before I leave. Cannot recommend highly enough. If I am ever back in Cape Town, I will definitely be back!

Back Waxing FAQs
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.
Back waxing can be a painful procedure, especially if you have sensitive skin. To minimize discomfort, take a pain reliever like ibuprofen 30 minutes before your appointment. You should also avoid caffeine, alcohol, and smoking before the appointment, as these can make your skin more sensitive. Exfoliate your skin 1-2 days before the appointment to help the wax grip the hair better and reduce the risk of ingrown hairs. You can also ask your esthetician to use a numbing cream to help reduce pain.
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.
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.
Like any waxing treatment, back waxing can cause skin redness, sensitivity, pain, and ingrown hairs. Other possible side effects include wax burns, dermatitis, and severe skin irritation. Make sure to talk to your esthetician about any skin conditions, allergies, or concerns you have before the appointment.
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.
