Step 3: 1st Appointment + FREE 10-minute treatment 

During your first appointment, your waxing therapist will start to help you understand exactly how you can get the best possible results from waxing. 

Understanding that this is your first-time, your therapist will also take extra time to make sure that you’re as comfortable and at-ease as possible during the treatment. 

On this visit, you'll get a complimentary, 10-minute treatment of your choice on the house! 

Step 2 (Optional): Free Salon Tour and Face-to-Face Consultation:

This OPTIONAL, ADDITIONAL step is for any clients who feel particularly nervous about embarking on their waxing journey. We’re very happy for you to pop by and see just how welcoming, clean and hygienic our beautiful salons are. 

This allows us to show you first-hand, that we’re just a group of “normal”, non-intimidating women who wax “normal” people like you, all day every day! It’s another chance for you to ask any questions, and for us to put your mind at ease, should you still have any concerns or worries. 

Step 1: Phone Consultation:

This programme is all about getting you the best possible results, so it’s REALLY important that we get to know you before we go any further - and you to get to know us! 

A quick phone call is the perfect opportunity for you to ask any questions which you may have been scared, nervous or embarrassed to ask other salons in the past. We'll also ask you a few questions to make sure you understand what’s involved, and the commitment we’ll be asking from you in return. 

Either one of us may decide during this call that the programme isn’t right for you, which is fine because it’s totally “no strings attached”! 

Step 4: 2nd Appointment + FREE exfoliating washcloth (RRP £12)

On this appointment, your therapist will continue to educate you about what else you can do to in your quest for smooth, bump-free skin. 

You will be astounded at how much more comfortable your second wax is, compared to your first, and the amazing difference there is between waxing full regrowth and 4-week regrowth, in terms of both comfort and speed!

You'll also receive your first free product, which is one of our amazing “A Bit of Rough” cloths (RRP £12.00). These Japanese-style exfoliating washcloths are absolutely perfect for that all-important inter-treatment exfoliation, which is an essential step of your aftercare routine, and will form the backbone of your fight against lumps, bumps and ingrown hairs!

Step 5: ABC Tea Tree Skin Wash 100ml (RRP £8.99)

By your 3rd appointment, we should start to see your regrowth beginning to fall into the same cycle - which is fantastic because once your hairs are all growing through at the same time, they can all be removed at the same time! 

This is the key to long-lasting results and is why a sporadic waxer will never enjoy the benefits of completely smooth hair-free skin for weeks after his or her wax.

You'll also receive your second free product - a 100ml Tea Tree Oil Body Lotion (RRP £9.75) - which will feel unbelievably cooling and soothing after your wax. Your therapist will explain the importance of using this lotion to keep your skin moisturised and nourished inbetween treatments so as to reduce the risk of any ingrown hairs starting to form.

Step 6: ABC Tea Tree Body Lotion 200ml (RRP £15.99)

By your 4th visit, your regrowth should now be getting into an excellent cycle, which means that you should already be starting to enjoy the benefits of long-lasting completely smooth, hair-free and bump-free skin. By now, you should be a waxing pro yourself and more than ready to graduate from this programme!

During this appointment, you'll receive your 3rd and final product. This is a 250ml Tea Tree Oil Skin Wash (RRP £14.99), which with its natural anti-bacterial properties, is the perfect complement to the moisturiser and exfoliating cloth you’ve already received.

By this stage, you will be armed with all the knowledge and products that you need to have achieved your goal of enjoying beautifully smooth and hair-free skin for weeks after each treatment.

You can have any of the following female body and/or intimate waxing treatments, or any combination of these treatments:

• Brazilian wax 30min (£37) (All hair removed from the front all the way to the back, leaving a landing strip or triangle of hair on top).
• Hollywood wax 30min (£37) (completely bare - ALL hair removed).
• Full leg wax 30min (£37) (Ankle to thigh crease, including toes).
• Half leg wax 20min (£24.50) plus either a Basic Bikini 10min (£18.50) (whatever sprouts out the side of a normal pair of knickers) or a G-String bikini wax 20min (£24.50) (higher-cut than a basic but considerably less than a Brazilian)
• Female Full Body Extravaganza wax 70min (£81) (Either Brazilian or Hollywood + Full Leg + Underarm)

It is not possible to have a basic bikini/G-String bikini/half leg wax on their own on this programme. You must have a minimum of 30 mins body and/or intimate waxing on every visit to be eligible to join the treatment.

No, the only commitment we require from you is that you really are serious about achieving smooth, hair-free skin in the long-term. As we said, this programme is not designed for people wanting a “quick fix” holiday wax/one-off wax for any other reason! The programme does require a bit of commitment and effort from you, as well as us, but we promise you that the results you see will be more than worth it!

You only pay for the treatments that you choose, and you pay for these monthly for the 4-month duration of the programme.. 

All four treatments on this Wax Virgin Programme must be taken a maximum of 5 weeks’ apart, in order to train your hair into the regrowth cycle we need to get the best results. So it’s OK to visit every 4 – 5 weeks, but 5 weeks is the maximum amount of time you can go inbetween appointments on this programme. 

No, unfortunately, you can’t skip any treatments in the journey, because this would diminish the end results. 

The Wax Virgin Programme is designed for brand new clients to nkd, who are completely new to waxing, as a way of educating and helping them to get the best possible results from their waxing journey.

If you are an existing nkd client/have visited nkd in the past and are interested in joining the programme, then we'd be happy to have a chat with you, to see if you're suitable for it.

As we've said, there is a level of commitment required from both sides, so the most important factor for anyone to join is their desire to attain smooth, hair-free skin in the long term, rather than just wanting a short-term hair-removal fix!

Anyone who has previously enrolled on the programme but who didn't to complete it, will not be eligible to sign up again in the future.

The staff are very calm and helpful. I feel very at ease when I attend for my wax. The wax is of a very high quality and is not as painful as previous waxes I have experienced. I have been waxed by three different ladies now, and all have been so helpful and very experienced. I cannot recommend them enough.

Paige was my therapist and was brilliant. I was SO nervous as it's been very painful when I've had waxing in the past but she put me at ease, the whole thing was over in 20 mins and it wasn't anywhere near as painful as I remember. Would recommend.

I'm a trans gender woman attending NKD. My waxing experience, is done by Venesia. She is very personable, I'm very impressed with her care in waxing me and in her communication skills. NKD are very fortunate to have her as a member of staff. I was so impressed, I have booked my next waxing session with Venesia. As a trans gender woman, it is so important to be treated as a woman by other women. Venesia does this, we talk about make up, holidays and I feel able to confide in her about my transition.

You make a much better job of my waxing and tinting than anyone else that I have ever been to. The ambience and syle of your salon is way above any of your competition.

NKD feels different from other beauty salons as soon as you walk in the door. We all know that getting your bits out in front of a stranger can be a scary thought but the tongue-in-cheek branding and friendly atmosphere makes you feel at ease straight away, especially when compared to far more clinical or spa-like salons. This is the same for the staff, who are all excellent at what they do and really welcoming.

Really nice and professional. The girls made me feel as comfortable as possible and are so friendly! I thought it was slightly pricey when booking the appointment but it's definitely worth every penny, the best waxing experience I've had.

After visiting another place for a wax in the morning and being left with clumps of hair and patches all over, I went to nkd in the afternoon hoping they could fix it. Was not disappointed. So much attention to detail and practically got everything - so happy and definitely returning!!

I have been going here for a while now and the service is unbeatable. The best is Emma for a wax, she knew I was going on holiday so made sure I was fully ready! The price is definitely worth it here. Precision, professionalism, and quick too.

There might be some discomfort on your 1st appointment but you’re not going to get a wax that hurts less than it does at nkd. 

Our therapists are intensely trained and highly skilled and we have developed a number of techniques over the years to minimise the pain. In fact, since 2012, we've been teaching the art of specialist waxing to beauty therapists and salon managers all over the country from our nkd training school, so they can try and wax like we do.

Whilst the duration of the Wax Virgin programme is fixed with your appointments 4-5 weeks apart to ensure you get the best results from your waxes and train your hair regrowth into a cycle that will mean you get the smooth, bump free skin we all dream of there are sometimes factors outside of our control. If the salon is forceabily shut through another lockdown or government mandate we will, of course, extend the duration of the programme so that none of our wax virgins miss out.
