Lycon Waxing Treatments
Inclusive Lycon Waxing
Professional Lycon waxing in Durrington, Wiltshire
At B-Unique we provide waxing treatments for everyone - regardless of gender or skin type. Whether you are looking for a simple eyebrow tidy or a full body wax, our trained therapists are here to make your experience as comfortable and effective as possible.
We use Lycon Wax exclusively - a premium waxing system trusted by professionals worldwide. Unlike standard waxes, Lycon adheres to the hair rather than the skin, allowing it to remove even the shortest and most stubborn hairs while significantly reducing discomfort and irritation. It is particularly well suited to clients with sensitive skin.
B-Unique is based in Durrington and serves clients from across Wiltshire, including Amesbury, Tidworth, Larkhill, Bulford, and further afield.
Why we use Lycon Wax
Works on shorter hair
Lycon can remove hair as short as 1mm - far shorter than the minimum required by most standard waxes. Less awkward regrowth to manage, and fewer weeks between appointments.
Gentler on skin
Lycon's formula grips the hair, not the skin, making it significantly less painful than traditional hot or strip wax. Especially effective for clients with sensitive or reactive skin.
Long-lasting results
Regular Lycon waxing weakens the hair follicle over time, leading to finer and sparser regrowth. With consistent treatments, many clients find their results last progressively longer.
Getting the most from your wax
How to prepare for your appointment
It is just as important to prepare the area before a wax as it is to take care of it afterwards. Follow these steps to ensure a quicker, more comfortable appointment.
- Trim the hair before your appointment if it is longer than around an inch, as excessive length can make waxing more uncomfortable.
- Ensure your hair is at least ¼ inch (around 6mm) long so the wax can grip it effectively.
- Exfoliate the area 24-48 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells, soften the skin, and help prevent ingrown hairs.
- Shower or bathe on the day of your appointment to open up the hair follicles, making removal easier.
- Avoid applying deodorants, make-up, lotions, soaps, powders, perfumes, or self-tanning products to the area to be waxed on the day.
Please note: You must wait a minimum of seven (7) days before waxing after a light chemical peel or Microdermabrasion. Waxing cannot be performed if you have been in a tanning booth the same day, have had laser skin resurfacing within the past year, or have had a physician-administered peel within the past two (2) years. No sun or tanning booths for 2 days following a waxing treatment. Women may experience extra sensitivity to waxing or threading up to a week prior to the beginning of their menses.
Waxing aftercare advice
After your waxing service the treated area may appear red and feel tender - this is completely normal and should settle within a few hours. Clients with thicker, coarser hair may occasionally notice minor blood spots, which is also normal.
For the first 24 hours, avoid the following to prevent irritating the skin:
- Touching, scratching, or exfoliating the waxed area
- Saunas and steam rooms
- Exercise, gyms, and swimming
- Sunbathing, sunbeds, or any sunlight and UV exposure
- Applying deodorants, make-up, lotions, soaps, powders, perfumes, or self-tanning products to the waxed area
- Tight-fitting clothing that may cause friction to the waxed area
To prevent ingrown hairs, gently exfoliate 2-3 times a week with a body scrub. Begin this routine 3 days after your treatment and continue between days 3-10. Follow exfoliation with a nourishing moisturiser to keep the skin smooth and support your next wax.

Frequently asked questions about waxing
How long does waxing last?
Most clients find waxing results last between three and six weeks, depending on how quickly their hair grows. Over time, with regular waxing, regrowth typically becomes finer and sparser, meaning results can last progressively longer.
How long does my hair need to be before waxing?
Hair should be at least a quarter of an inch (around 6mm) long for most waxes. One of the advantages of Lycon Wax is that it can remove hair as short as 1mm - considerably shorter than what standard waxes require.
Is Lycon wax suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Lycon is specifically formulated to be gentle on sensitive skin. Because it adheres to the hair rather than the skin, it causes significantly less trauma to the surrounding tissue compared to standard waxes. If you have a known skin condition or are concerned about reactions, please mention it before your appointment.
What is the difference between a Brazilian and a Hollywood wax?
A Brazilian wax removes most of the hair from the bikini area, leaving a small strip or triangle at the front. A Hollywood wax removes all hair from the pubic area completely - front, sides, and between the buttocks. Both are available at B-Unique.
What is a Sunga wax?
The Sunga is a male intimate waxing treatment that covers the sac, penis, pubic triangle (shaped or fully removed), and crack. It is the male equivalent of a Brazilian/Hollywood and is ideal for clients looking for a neat, hair-free finish in the intimate area.
Does waxing hurt?
There will always be some degree of sensation with waxing, particularly for first-time clients or in more sensitive areas. However, Lycon Wax is considerably less painful than traditional waxes because it grips the hair rather than the skin. Most clients find the discomfort reduces significantly with regular treatments as the hair becomes finer over time.
Can men get waxed at B-Unique?
Absolutely. We offer a full range of waxing treatments for all genders, including chest and back waxing, intimate treatments such as The Sunga and The Miami, and full body options. All treatments are carried out in a professional, discreet, and welcoming environment.
How often should I get waxed?
We generally recommend waxing every four to six weeks to stay on top of regrowth. Keeping to a regular schedule means hair is always at an ideal length for removal, and regrowth becomes progressively finer over time. Your therapist can advise on the best routine for your hair type.
