I had a bikini wax and the beautician suggested I have a hot wax instead of strip wax. I tried it one side, but for me it was too painful, so just had strip wax on the other side. It's not the best wax I've had, was very red and bumpy on both sides for 3 days after which doesn't usually happen to me. They list the appointment as taking 30 mins, but I was in and out within about 12 mins, which is great, but for the money, I feel it's quite expensive.
