Ladies, let's admit it -- we ALL have hair that grows in unwanted areas. Stray brow hairs, underarms, faces, and ... more private areas. Now that we've admitted to this issue, let's take a look at the options for hair removal. There are expensive and painful procedures, all kinds of sketchy gadgets advertised on informercials, and don't forget about the old standard -- a razor and shaving gel. Waxing, however, is the best choice available!
Waxing at Kenneth's Hair Salons and Day Spas gives you the best value for your money because it doesn't cost hundreds of dollars per treatment, but it will last much longer than shaving. We offer face and body waxing services with licensed estheticians at all Kenneth's locations in the Columbus area (except our Sawmill Academy). Check out our video that explains what makes waxing at Kenneth's the best choice for you:

Ease and Convenience of Waxing
Our estheticians are trained in the latest methods for removing unwanted hair as quickly, completely, and as comfortably as possible. We even offer products to ease the pain associated with bikini and Brazilian waxing! BareEase will numb the area prior to waxing so you feel almost nothing -- trust us, it works! Waxing is a great way to prepare for a vacation or honeymoon. Results vary, but a waxing treatment can last for weeks or months! Waxing will also slow down hair growth over time, so the more you wax, the less you have to worry about unwanted hair.
Tips for Body Waxing Treatments
If you are getting your first body waxing treatment, here are some tips on how to prepare:
Allow hair to grow for a period of time before your waxing service. The hair should be about 1/4 inch long, which is about the length of a grain of rice. This allows the wax to grab the hair follicle completely for the best removal results.
If you're concerned about pain (which varies for everyone), take precautions: pick up a BareEase kit from any Kenneth's salon location beforehand so you can apply it an hour before your service for numbing of the area. You can also take ibuprofen about an hour before your service.
Gentle exfoliation the day before your waxing service can help prevent ingrown hairs. Kenneth's also provides Tend Skin, a product specifically designed to reduce and reverse the effects of ingrown hairs.
The Art of the Brow Arch
You may be surprised at how a professional brow shaping can dramatically change your overall appearance. At Kenneth's, our estheticians can give your brows a new shape that will complement your appearance and give a flattering effect. After receiving a "brow makeover", many clients are surprised at how it changes their whole look in a great way!
There are a lot of factors involved in shaping brows correctly, including:
- Shape of eyes
- Width and height of the brow area
- Space between eyes
- Natural growth patterns of the brows
Kenneth's estheticians are knowledgeable about all of these areas and will explain the best option for you.
Working towards filling in your brows or achieving a new shape or arch? No problem! Waxing can help with this process by eliminating hair that is not contributing to the look and allowing growth in other areas. No matter what your goal, a Kenneth's esthetician can help you -- just schedule an appointment and you'll be on your way to the perfect brow arch!
Worried about redness or irritation after your facial waxing service? Our estheticians will apply Jane Iredale mineral makeup powder after your service to cover up any temporary redness and to enhance your newly arched brow. The gentle mineral makeup is non-irritating and won't block pores or bother sensitive skin. This makes it convenient to schedule your appointment on your lunch break or while running errands -- you can go about your day without worrying about redness around the brow area!
Imagine the convenience of not having to shave on your beach vacation or never having to try to shape your own brows again. Schedule your waxing appointment at Kenneth's!
