Lycon Waxing in Warrington
Smooth, hair free skin without the discomfort often associated with waxing. Ema has been waxing clients since 2012 and uses Lycon, the world standard in professional waxing, chosen specifically because it’s gentler on the skin than most other wax brands.
Lycon’s premium resins shrink wrap around each hair, with a thin layer of natural oil acting as a barrier so your skin isn’t pulled the way it can be with other waxes. This means less pain, a closer result, and hair removed cleanly from the root, even hair as short as 1mm. Hot wax is used for sensitive areas like underarms and intimate regions, in soothing flavours like berry and coconut. LYCOtec, a newer generation strip wax containing coconut oil, is used for facial waxing and legs.
Every wax is approached at your pace, with comfort and dignity as the priority throughout.
Suitable for:
Lycon is an inclusive wax suitable for all skin types and body shapes. It’s also safe during pregnancy.

Types of Bikini Waxing
Not sure which option is right for you? Here’s a simple guide to what each one involves.
High Thong Bikini
Any hair outside of a small G-string is removed. A neat, minimal result while keeping coverage close to the body.
Regular Bikini
Any hair outside of the standard knicker line is removed. The most popular option for everyday swimwear and underwear.
Hollywood / Brazilian
All hair is removed from front and back, or a slim strip can be left if you prefer. Completely your choice on the day.
📌 Please note, we do not offer male waxing.
Before Your Wax
A little preparation goes a long way toward a smooth, comfortable result. Here's what to know before your appointment.
🚽 Before you arrive
Avoid arriving with a full bladder, and wear loose, comfortable clothing, a cotton maxi dress works well for many areas.
🧴 Skin prep
Start exfoliating gently three days before your appointment to remove dead skin cells for a smoother result. Avoid moisturiser or deodorant on the area beforehand.
✂️ Hair length
Avoid any other hair removal for 2 to 3 weeks before your appointment. If hair is longer than 1.5cm, trimming reduces discomfort, though Ema can trim for you if needed.
☀️ What to avoid
We're unable to wax over sunburn or recent tanning products, or if you're taking certain medications such as Retin-A, Accutane, or some antibiotics. Please don't book a spray tan for the same day.
📌 Hair at different lengths from previous shaving or other methods? Don't worry, waxing will even this out. No need to wait to book.
Does It Hurt, and Aftercare
All waxing involves some discomfort, but Lycon is widely considered far more tolerable than other wax brands. Pain tolerance varies from person to person, and hormones can play a part too, some people find sensitivity increases just before their period, though the hair is also coarser at that time and tends to break more easily.
🩹 Straight afterwards
Some redness, sensitivity or minor bumps are completely normal. This usually settles within a few hours to a day.
⏰ For the next 24 hours
Stay in comfortable clothing, avoid exercise or heavy sweating, and skip hot baths or showers, a lukewarm shower is fine. Avoid sun exposure, swimming pools and saunas.
🌿 Aftercare products
Use fragrance free moisturisers or aloe vera. If you're prone to ingrown hairs, a salicylic acid spray or cream can help prevent and treat them from inside the follicle.
How Long Will My Wax Last?
Hair growth varies from person to person, but as a general guide, you'll likely see a few sparse, stray hairs by weeks 1 to 2. By weeks 3 to 4, hair growth becomes more noticeable, which is a good time to think about booking your next appointment. For the best results, a 4 week maintenance schedule is recommended, with hair growth reducing over time the more consistently you wax.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get waxed while on my period?
Yes, there's no need to cancel or reschedule. You may find you're slightly more sensitive than usual, and a tampon is recommended for bikini waxing, but otherwise treatment goes ahead as normal.
How long should my hair be before waxing?
Around 2 to 3 weeks of growth without any other hair removal method is ideal, generally between 0.5 and 1.5cm. If your hair is longer than this, Ema can trim it for you before waxing.
Do you do a patch test first?
If you have particularly sensitive skin or any concerns, just let Ema know when booking and a patch test can be arranged in advance of your full treatment.
Is waxing safe during pregnancy?
Yes, Lycon is suitable for all skin types and body shapes and is safe to use throughout pregnancy.
Do you offer waxing for men?
Sorry, we don't currently offer male waxing.
