Waxing is a form of semi-permanent hair removal which removes the hair from the root. New hair will not grow back in the previously waxed area for three to six weeks, although results vary, some people may start to see regrowth in only a week due to some of their hair being on a different human hair growth cycle. There are many types of waxing suitable for removing unwanted hair. At Cambridge Beauty House, you can expect high-quality product, technique, and care during your waxing appointment.
