Thought I should mention this so there's no contention, I am friends with Renee through another friend of mine.

I've been using a Braun Silk-épil 7 epilator on my chest for a few months, but I was getting a lot of regrowth and very quickly (about every three or four days). I'm guessing a lot of the hairs were just being broken by the epilator. I was getting ingrown hairs and pimples and the regrowth was coming back way too fast. My chest didn't look good at all. I spoke to Renee about other waxing options and decided to give 'sugaring' a try. And suffice to say, I'll definitely be going back.

I left it about 10 days after last using the Silk-épil before seeing Renee and it's been about seven days since my appointment. My chest is still mostly hair free, some minor re-growth which Renee expected. I didn't get any additional pimples, ingrown hairs or spotting from the treatment. In fact, even now (a week later), my chest is smoother than it has ever been.

And the actual sugaring experience was very easy and trouble free. Renee advised me what to do (and what not to do) post appointment and set my expectations as to what I should expect and when I would likely need a follow up. The after treatment product she used was amazing; a beautiful, soothing and refreshing lemongrass balm that I loved.

Big thanks to Renee, I'll be seeing you soon for my next appointment.
