Having abandoned waxing in my impoverished,
straight-out-of-uni days in favour of chronically slow, painful but, most
importantly, cheap hair removal with my not-so-trusty Braun epilator, I had
long been on the look-out for an inexpensive wax bar in Fulham. There are loads
of flashy options out there, but the prices always far exceeded what I had been
used to paying at my small-city university (isn’t it always the way) and I’m
afraid I balked at paying £40 at more for a leg wax when I knew I could do it
for free, if painfully and imperfectly, at home.
But home hair removal is a pain, isn’t it? The wax strips
don’t work, epilation is painful (and patchy), and shaving and veet creams are
just too short-term. Going to a salon is quick, easy and despite the pain you
feel like you’re being pampered, and when you get into a good natter with the
beautician time just flies. I was reminded of all the beauties of salon waxing
when I visited the Wax Bar Fulham last week.
Haseena, the warm and chatty
beautician, has been practising around Fulham for almost a decade and a few
months ago set up her cosy salon on Jerdan Place. Tucked away above a male
grooming parlour, stepping off the cobbles it’s a mini sanctuary from the
bustle of daily life. A real wax enthusiast - Haseena also teaches beauty
students locally, so she’s a bit of an expert – my legs were as bald (and soft)
as a baby’s bottom before I knew it. The environment was warm, clean and cosy
and Haseena is incredibly easy to get along with, as well as being very
professional. She makes sure you’re comfortable, gives you lots of friendly
advice on aftercare and generally makes you feel pampered. Wax Bar Fulham also
offers eyelash and eyebrow tints, so Haseena can cover many of your beauty
needs in one appointment.
Best of all, the prices are incredibly reasonable – a full
leg wax is just £25 – and
for SouthWestSix readers your first appointment is
25% cheaper again! Just quote the code SW601 when you make your booking. For a
