MY FIRST WAXING EXPERIENCE AT THE WAXHAUS

Hi everyone,

I'm back again today to share about my first waxing experience at the Waxhaus. A new waxing store opening at Supermall Pakuwon. This is their 10th store and the first in Surabaya.



Waxhaus is a caramel based waxing parlor established in Jakarta since 2011 and already have branches in Bali, Bandung, Tangerang, and now opening their first store in Surabaya.
All of their outlets provide full body waxing services for woman and man (limited services).

They offers waxing treatment with some benefit :

NATURAL INGREDIENTS
They only use natural ingredients to produce their caramel on daily basis. No preservative is used.

WELL TRAINED AND FRIENDLY THERAPISTS
All of their therapists must go through a series of training beforehand and always ready to serve with a smile.

DISPOSABLE WAX STRIPS AND
NO DOUBLE DIPPING
They apply a strict rule of using fresh caramel, disposable wax strips and new applicator for each of their customer so we can be sure of the cleanliness of your service.

HYGIENIC AND COZY PLACE
Their outlets are clean, cozy and comfortable so we can relax, just like at home.

THE EXTRA FUN
More benefits only they can offer: Disposable brazilian and head sheet, branded face cleanser and petroleum jelly for eyebrow threading, special towel for brazilian service and many more. They go the extra miles to increase our quality standard.

5 DAYS GUARANTEE
Free retreatment if we still find any hair left within 5 days.

Actually, I was rather skepticle about waxing. I have many hair that I shaved regularly using my ladies shaver. And I did it because I was too afraid to do waxing. I'm a person who can't bear the physical pain. And waxing has scared me since I knew about it.

But few weeks ago, I was offered to try a free waxing treatment from Waxhaus as they collab with Surabaya Beauty Blogger. My friend encourage me to do that and finally I challenged myself to fight my fear.

I arrived at 10 am and went to the meet up poin at Caribou Coffee. There were 10 ladies and 3 person from the Waxhaus team including the owner. We were provided with some breakfast from the Caribou before heading to the Waxhaus store.

So I went to the counter and order 1 slice of macnara pie and a glass of mint condition mocca. That was enough to calm my nerve. 😄 the pie was delicious and the coffee was so refreshing.







While enjoying our breakfast, the owner gave us a short brief about Waxhaus and all the treatment they offered. She also answered some of our question related to the waxing process and treatment.

After finished breakfast, we were guided to the Waxhaus store, located at the new Supermall Pakuwon 2nd floor. Here's how the store look like.





The store is designed in a yellow and green color. There is a big cute girl painting at the front wall of the store. The Waxhaus mascot logo. That was a really nice design of a cozy place. There's a standing board showing the list of their treatment that they offers including each price.




We took a group pic at the front of the store before heading in.



And more group pic with a given goodie bag. 


After taking some pic, we were heading in and we were asked to fill the treatment form. We were free to choose which body part that we want to be treated. For the first trial, I chose half arm part, hoping it will be less hurt than other body part 😂





If you look at the registration wall, there are some small pictures of the cute mascot girl hanging on the side wall and all the pics were showing a happy expression. I think they all bringing the message that waxing is fun. Is it? You'll find out soon 😉

So after registration process, we were guiding in into the waxing room. They have about 10 treatment room inside. Here's how the waxing room looks like.



The room is very clean and cozy. And to be honest, the design of this place remind me of my kindergarten class. Where the wall was painted colorful and many cute picture painted on it.

At that day, 4 therapist were ready to treat us. I took some pic of my friend while they were being treated.





And you can see how relax they were while being treated. They said it wasn't hurt. But I was still nervous. Until there came my turn.





At first, my therapist applied some powder all around my arms that need to be waxed. And after that, she spreaded a warm caramel paste with the applicator and sticked a wax strip on it. They use natural ingredients to make the caramel. You can even safely lick it. My friend did and she said it was sweet. 



I got myself ready while the therapist was about to pull out the strip. 1... 2... 3... and pull..... no scream, no pain. I was totaly surprised. It was unexpected. I thought it will be painful. But the fact, it was nothing. I kinda enjoy it and it was fun to see how my hair was perfectly pulled out. 😍😍😍



After finished waxing all the hair off, the therapist washed all the remaining caramel with wet towel, and then there come the most interesting process. Threading.

Threading is a process to clean our remaining hair using a special thread. And I can see how expert she is doing this job. I don't have a pic of me during that process. But here I stole some pic of my friend Gita during the threading process.



Usually this treatment is using a tweezer. But here they are using special thread. For the eyebrow, chin, and other face part, they didn't use the caramel but they only use thread.



After finished the threading process, I took a pic with my therapist. Oh I forget to mention her name. Her name is Mbak Endah. And she treated me so well. Very neat and gentle that made me feel so relax. Thank you mbak Endah for the great service. ❤❤❤



She told me to avoid bathing with warm water for a day to prevent irritation. And i wasn't allowed to wear any lotion for 2 hours after treatment. She also suggested me to do scrubbing after 2 days.

My skin is very sensitive. I was worried at first because i saw my arms became red after my hair being pulled out. But she said it was a normal reaction that will gone after few minutes. And that was right. 5 minutes after, all the redness were slowly gone and my skin became very very smooth.

The result was totaly different compare to while I did shaving myself. And the most important is, it didn't hurt.
Even if you have so many hair and long enough, I'm pretty sure that the pain is still bearable. It wasn't as bad as you first imagine. I'm being honest, I proved it.

Before leaving, I was given an envelopes with some treatment voucher and member card inside. And the voucher was worth 500K. What a gift 😍😍😍. I can waxed all my hair away for free. Big big big thanks to Waxhaus for all the compliment.

Now I wanna encourage you to try waxing treatment at this place. It's totaly worth it. They are giving 35% discount until 31st December for all treatment. So don't be afraid to try. I even planned to do the brazilian wax 😉



It's time for say goodbye to my shaving kit. I found a better and faster way to get rid of my unwanted hair with much better result and affordable price. You won't believe how fun it was until you try. 😍 I wish they will open another store in east surabaya for me 😂😂😂

Hi everyone, It's been a long holiday and I haven't been writing since maybe 3 weeks. So now I'm back with a new skin care review. Here's La Mer The Moisturizing Cool Gel Cream. The most expensive moisturizer I've ever tried. 😍😍😍 Last month, I attended La Mer beauty event at Galaxy Mall. They launched the newest moisturizer that suitable for all skin type.
