Honeypot

The type of wax we use on our bodies makes all the difference when having hair removal treatments, which is why we think Honeypot stands out from the rest of the waxing crowd. Using a bespoke, house-made formula that has been created by its certified chemists, Honeypot’s wax is second to none (and it’s never been tested on animals!).

But let’s face it – although the quality of the wax is key, how we feel is even more important. And because the wax has been improved over the past 12 years since it was first created, it’s now become one of the least painful waxes used in Asia! The best part? Honeypot offers quality and impeccable service.

Take your pick from Brazilian waxing, body waxing or IPL treatments and laser permanent hair reduction, you’ll find you made the right choice when you book here.
