Soma : Ancient Greek for Body.

What is Electrolysis and how does it work?

Electrolysis is an effective hair removal procedure that after a regular programme of treatments can result in the long term reduction of unwanted hair.  It is generally used and recommended for facial hair of any colour and texture.  It involves the use of an electrical current delivered to the hair follicle via a fine needle..

What is the difference between the various bikini waxes on offer?

1.    A Standard Bikini Wax is the removal of pubic hair up to the standard panty line from the leg crease.

2.    An Extended Bikini Wax is the same as a standard but extends to include pubic hair that may be further down the thigh.

3.    A G-String Bikini Wax is the same a standard but extends further towards the centre area to give a tidy result for wearing g-string/thong underwear

4.    A Brazilian Wax is the removal of all pubic hair from the front area. Some clients may choose to leave a strip down the centre.

5.    A Complete/Full Brazilian Wax, sometimes referred to as a “Hollywood”, is the complete removal of all pubic hair from both front and back areas.

Soma’s price difference for these treatments reflects the time generally required to complete the service.
