Waxing can be intimidating for first-timers. At The Nail Squad, we understand your concerns, especially about pain. That’s why we’ve carefully chosen products and techniques that prioritise your comfort, starting with our premium waxing product: Depileve.
Understanding Waxing Discomfort
Let’s address the big question: Does waxing hurt? The truth is, waxing can be uncomfortable. But the good news is, the sensation is temporary and varies depending on your skin type, hair thickness, and sensitivity. At The Nail Squad, we’ve developed a waxing process that minimises discomfort and maximises results.
Why Depileve?
We believe in using the best products to provide a superior waxing experience, and Depileve ticks all the boxes. Here’s why we trust this product for our clients:
1. Gentle on All Skin Types
Depileve’s wax formulas are enriched with skin-nourishing ingredients like rose oil, tea tree oil, and aloe vera, making it suitable for sensitive areas and all skin types. This means less irritation and a more pleasant experience for you.
2. Exceptional Hair Removal
Depileve wax is designed to adhere to hair, not skin, ensuring efficient hair removal without unnecessary pulling. This approach reduces discomfort and minimises the risk of redness or irritation.
3. Versatility Across Body Areas
Whether you're waxing your legs, underarms, or bikini area, Depileve has a specialised wax for every need. Its flexibility ensures that even the most delicate areas are treated with care.
4. A Spa-Like Experience
With its luxurious textures and soothing scents, Depileve transforms waxing into a pampering experience. At The Nail Squad, we want every visit to feel like self-care, and Depileve helps us achieve that.

The Nail Squad Difference
We don’t just stop at premium products. Here’s how we elevate your waxing experience:
Customised care: We assess your skin and hair type to select the best Depileve wax for you.
Expert technique: Our trained technicians use gentle, precise methods to ensure comfort.
Post-wax pampering: We apply post-wax care products that hydrate and soothe your skin, leaving you smooth and glowing.
Preparing for Your Waxing Session
To ensure a seamless experience:
Exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells.
Avoid tanning, lotions, or oils on the day of waxing.
Trust us to take care of the rest!
Aftercare Advice and Products
After waxing, your skin deserves extra love and care to maintain its smoothness and avoid irritation. Here are our top tips:
1. Avoid Heat and Friction
Skip hot showers, saunas, and swimming pools for 24–48 hours.
Wear loose clothing to prevent rubbing against freshly waxed skin.
2. Keep Skin Hydrated
Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser daily to maintain softness.
3. Exfoliate (After 48 Hours)
Lightly exfoliate the area 2–3 times a week to prevent ingrown hairs. Use a mild scrub or exfoliating glove for best results.
4. Stay Sun Safe
Waxed skin is more sensitive to UV rays, so apply SPF if exposed to sunlight.
5. Use Professional Aftercare Products
At The Nail Squad, we offer a range of Depileve’s aftercare products to enhance your waxing results:
Depileve Folisan Roll-On: Prevents ingrown hairs and soothes irritation.
Depileve Tea Tree Lotion: Provides antibacterial protection and nourishes skin.
Our team can recommend the best products for your skin type during your visit!
