Finding Your Best Hair Removal Method: Waxing, Sugaring, Laser & More
When it comes to hair removal, there’s no one-size-fits-all. Every body is different — our skin types, hair growth patterns, and comfort levels vary — which means the best method for you might not be the same as your best friend’s.
At Kelowna Waxing, I believe in transparency and choice. Let’s explore the most common options — sugaring, laser hair removal, soft waxing, and hard waxing — so you can choose your own adventure and feel confident in your decision.
Sugaring
What it is: A natural paste made from sugar, water, and lemon applied to the skin and flicked off to remove hair.
Who it’s for: Clients who love a natural, eco-friendly option and want gentle exfoliation alongside hair removal. It works well for people with sensitive skin, though results can vary depending on hair type.
My take: Sugaring is an excellent choice for many people. If you’ve had success with it, that’s great — it’s all about what makes you feel comfortable.
Laser Hair Removal
What it is: A medical-grade device uses laser energy to target and reduce hair growth at the follicle.
Who it’s for: Clients looking for long-term reduction who are comfortable with multiple sessions and upfront cost. Works best on dark hair/light skin contrast but technology is improving for a wider range.
My take: Laser is a commitment, but it can be life-changing for some. If you want permanent reduction and can invest in it, it may be worth exploring.
Soft Wax (What I use at Kelowna Waxing for body hair)
What it is: Warm wax applied thinly with a strip pressed on top and quickly pulled away.
Who it’s for: Larger areas like legs and arms where speed matters. Some people find soft wax tuggy, especially in sensitive areas.
My take: Soft wax has been the industry standard for decades and still has its place. For some, it’s the best balance of cost and efficiency.
Hard Wax (What I Use at Kelowna Waxing for intimate areas)
What it is: A strip-free wax applied directly to the skin, hardening slightly before being removed. It grips the hair, not the skin.
Who it’s for: Perfect for Brazilians, underarms, and sensitive skin areas. It’s gentler than strip wax and reduces tugging, making it great for first-timers or anyone nervous about discomfort.
My take: Hard wax is my specialty. I’ve chosen it because it provides consistent, comfortable results for my clients, especially for intimate and sensitive areas.
No “One Best” Option — Just the Best Option for You
Here’s the truth: none of these methods are “better” across the board. They all have pros, cons, and ideal applications. What matters most is what feels right for you — your skin, your body, your comfort, and your budget.
The beauty industry can sometimes feel competitive or even saturated, with businesses trying to prove their method is the “only” way. At Kelowna Waxing, I believe the real difference isn’t in the method — it’s in the experience.
Why Kelowna Waxing is Different
Here’s what sets me apart for my ideal clients:
Comfort-first approach: No awkward positions, no rushed service — just dignity and care.
Inclusive space: A private, judgment-free studio that welcomes all bodies and genders, including the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
Certified expertise: I’m a trained hard waxing specialist who uses high-quality wax for proven results.
Client experience matters most: I believe your self-care should leave you feeling confident, respected, and authentically yourself.
