Question 

Hi Charlotte,

I would like to try laser, as I’ve been asking about it for a while. I’ve just had a wax on Monday though, so I don’t think I’ll have any hair growth for September.
If I buy the laser voucher, can it be used after September please?

Morning Rachel,

Lovely to hear from you.

YES, if laser has been on your mind for a while, this is such a great opportunity to give it a try.

You’re absolutely right. After waxing, the hair needs time to regrow before we can carry out your patch test and treatment, as the laser needs visible hair in the follicle to target it properly.

But no worries at all, if you buy your laser voucher now, you’ll be all set to book in after your next regrowth cycle, at the point you’d usually have your next wax.

That way you don’t miss out on the current offer, and we’ll get your laser journey started at the perfect time for your hair cycle.

Have you already got your next wax booked in? If so, I can help you plan your patch test and treatment dates around it, just let me know!

Switching from Waxing to Laser Hair Removal — Everything You Need to Know

If you’ve been waxing for years but are now tempted by the long-term results of laser hair removal, you’re not alone. Lots of our clients make the switch from wax to laser and the good news is, it’s easier than you think!

But timing does matter! There are a few things you need to know before you book.

Why You Can’t Laser Straight After Waxing

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle.

If you’ve recently waxed, those follicles are temporarily empty so there’s nothing for the laser to grab onto.

We need visible hair in the follicle (even if it’s only stubble) for the laser to be effective. That’s why we recommend waiting at least 3–4 weeks after waxing before starting your laser journey.

The Best Time to Switch from Waxing to Laser

 The perfect time to start laser is:

• When your hair has visibly regrown
• Around the time you’d normally be due your next wax

If you’ve just waxed, don’t panic, simply let the hair regrow and plan your consultation and patch test for when it’s visible again.

Can I alternate between waxing and laser?

In short,  no!

Once you start laser, you’ll need to avoid all forms of hair removal that remove the root, including waxing, plucking, and epilation.

That’s because laser needs the follicle in place each time.

You can, however, shave between sessions and we’ll guide you through when and how to do that safely.

Can I still use the voucher if I can’t start right away?

Absolutely. If you’ve purchased one of our September laser vouchers, you don’t have to start your treatment immediately, we can extend the start until October. 

We know timing doesn’t always align, especially if you’ve recently waxed, so we’re happy to honour the voucher beyond September.

You’ll still need to come in for your consultation and patch test, and then we’ll book your full treatment plan around your natural hair growth cycle.

The Switching Timeline (Example)

Let’s say:

• You waxed on Monday 2nd September
• You usually wax every 4–6 weeks
• Your hair regrows enough for treatment by early to mid-October

You can:

1. Buy your voucher in September
2. Book your consultation and patch test for early October
3. Begin your first laser treatment 1–2 weeks later

Easy! And you’re off on your way to smoother, long-term results.

Final Thoughts from Charlotte

If you’ve been waxing for years, laser is a brilliant next step. It’s not just about convenience, it can reduce regrowth, improve ingrown hairs, and boost your confidence with long-lasting smooth skin.

And the best part? Once you’re in a course of laser, most clients only need to shave occasionally, no more waxing appointments, no more growing hair out between sessions.

So if the timing isn’t quite right today, don’t worry.

Buy your voucher, and we’ll guide you through exactly when to start.
