Hair Removal 101: Where to Go for Waxing, IPL and Sugaring in Singapore

Whatever be your weapon of hair-destruction or pain threshold level, there’s bound to be a hair removal solution on our list! Look no further for your Waxing, IPL and Sugaring needs.

Waxing at Gooday

Stalwarts in the beauty business, Gooday are well known for their waxing services amongst many other beauty treatments they offer. From full legs and arms to your back, underarms, bikini line or Brazilians, the experienced staff at Gooday are equipped to handle all waxing jobs and delicately so. Using one of the oldest methods of hair removal, they use hot waxing to get that effective, smoothly waxed feeling. In hot waxing, warm wax is spread on the skin, covered with a strip of cloth and allowed to dry before being pulled off in the opposite direction of hair growth. This technique pulls away most of the hair from its shaft and is far more effective than using cold wax. Depending on your skin and hair, you can expect smooth skin for as long as 4-8 weeks; making it one of the most popular and long lasting hair removal methods available.

Pro tip from Gooday for serial waxers - in order to limit ingrown hair and irritation, avoid wearing tight clothing around the waxed area for some time. Also, make the time to exfoliate a couple of days after waxing to prevent dead skin cells from building up.

For plenty more tips on how to keep your skin healthy and well, visit Gooday and get rid of that unwanted hair - safely!
