Waxing for Black Women

[DM29]

Does anyone have good recommendations for a good waxer/ Aesthetician for black ladies in Surrey or south London.

Interesting question. I have had a couple of terrible experiences but have always just thought the person doing the waxing wasn’t very good and didn’t go back. I didn’t put it down to my hair type.

I have an amazing lady now, she is mixed, which probably helps, although I just found her my chance years ago.

Right that’s interesting, thanks for sharing.
I’ve found there is a lack of qualified waxer that know how to deal with certain hair types.

It really put me off for years but, I’m in a place where I want to go again but trying to find a reputable and qualified place/ person.

Whenever I’m back in London and have time, I go to Mikki’s Wax Bar. She’s in Aldgate East. I know you said South London but this a possible option for you if you get desperate or if you’re in the area.

They’re really nice and I first went there during Covid and they followed all the rules well.

EDIT: And yes, I’m Black with coarse hair and a propensity for ingrowns! Even though she’s not Black, she has experience waxing Black folks.

Thank you!!

@DM29 You're welcome!

Prior to going to La Toya, I had a bad experience with someone who I don't think was used to my skin type (the aesthetician ended the session saying 'your skin is not happy').

All good now since I've been going to Room to Wax.

Love to hear it!! Thanks so much for the recommendation!

Although I live in South London I don’t have a recommendation there. Mine is in The City (St Pauls area) and called Beauty Essence. It’s one of the few waxers I have been too when I can go to pretty much any waxer and they do a great job.
