Massage : The Body Barber Signature - 75 Minute

Before:

Having a bath or shower, before waxing is fine, the steam from a hot shower will open those follicles encouraging the hairs to be more easily removed, and therefore less painful.

Plus, who doesn't want to be clean and fresh when someone else is going to be very close and personal ?!

Don't use moisturiser or deodorant as this may form a barrier to the wax.

It's perfectly ok to have a shower after a wax, but take a cool or warm shower as your skin is still very sensitive. I recommend waiting at least 6 - 8 hours before having a shower so that you allow your skin to recover.

AVOID hot showers or saunas/steam rooms after you have had a wax as the heat may open your pores further, inviting bacteria into the skin. (see FAQs) Hot showers, saunas, steam rooms and sunbathing are a definite NO after a laser procedure.

The waxed area ought to be kept clean and nourished with post-waxing products to keep the skin smooth and healthy. Always, always, ALWAYS start exfoliating 48 hours after your wax, it'll slough away dead skin and discourage ingrown hairs.

Relaxes your whole body but at the same time, works through some of the muscle issues or "tight spots" you may be experiencing.

The Body Barber Signature Massage induces a relaxation response which lowers your heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure; plus boosts your immune system and generally decreases the physical effects of stress.

* Stress reduction and relaxation.

* Improves sleep, massage is a great mental and emotional stress reliever.
* Release of endorphins, the body's natural pain killers.

Always consult your GP before having any form of deep tissue or remedial massage.

The word "Reiki" translates to "universal life force energy"' and comes from the Japanese words "Rei", meaning universal and "Ki or Chi", referring to life force.

Reiki is a form of alternative therapy commonly referred to as energy healing and is said to involve the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner's palms to their patient. It emerged in Japan in the late 1800's and was given the name by Mikao Usui who rediscovered the lost art after studying the 2500-year-old Sanskrit text.

The healing energy of Reiki originates from the universe and does not draw from the energy of the giver. The sensations that can be experienced are warmth, tingling, and deep relaxation and people receiving Reiki can sometimes fall asleep.
