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.

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.

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.

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.

Aletta D

7th September 2019

I am a trans gender woman attending NKD. My waxing is experience, is clinically undertaken by Venesia. She is very though and personable, I am very impressed with her care in waxing me and in the communication skills she processes. 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.

Hayley K

8th September 2019

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.

4 Painless Steps to Being Smooth and Hair-Free: How the Wax Virgin Programme Works in Detail

Step 3: Attend 4 Pleasant Appointments Over 4 Months


Any discomfort you may feel at the beginning of your Wax Virgin journey will disappear along with your hair over time- you will most likely even come to enjoy waxing! Our therapists provide helpful information about waxing pre and post care for long-lasting results and bump-free skin. Plus, enjoy your 15% discount on other services and products during the 4 months that you are a Wax Virgin. Oh and remember, you can book your first appointment without committing to the entire program.

Step 2 Suss out the Salons (Optional)

If you’d like to see where the magic happens ahead of time, you are welcome to visit our award-winning salons for a tour of our hygienic and stylish premises. Chat with some of our friendly team to get an idea of how pleasant yet professional we are and browse our top-of-the-line products. Like the phone consultation, this step is optional, but we know from experience that visiting our salons before booking can help put nervous minds at ease.

Step 1: Speak to a Member of Our Friendly Team (Optional)

We understand that some clients are more nervous than others about losing their waxing virginity. If you’re not quite ready to book your first appointment, schedule a call with one of our specialists instead to ask any questions you have. We’ll do everything we can to put your mind at ease and help you decide whether waxing/Wax Virgin is for you or not!

Step 4: Enjoy the Results and Access Discounted Prices for Future Visits

Congratulations, having had your first 4 waxes, you’re now a Waxing Pro! To celebrate your graduation from the Wax Virgin Programme, enjoy a free brow treatment of your choice (or a selection of other complimentary treatments if brows aren’t your thing).

Now that you’ve experienced longer-lasting hair-free skin and progressively-finer regrowth, we’ll invite you to continue with a new waxing package so that you can keep enjoying these benefits at a significantly discounted rate.

Catherine

My therapist was so understanding today as a) it’s been lockdown so the hair was longer than usual and b) I am 6 months pregnant which makes everything a bit more painful down there! She was constantly asking me if I was okay and reassuring me about how long was left etc. She was friendly and was distracting me with questions. She was also knowledgeable about how I can have the next one when I will be even bigger. The front desk service was lovely as usual and the whole experience was 10/10. I have been a loyal customer for 8 years and today was no different in the service and experience. Thank you as always.

We’re All About Minimal Discomfort. Minimal Embarrassment. Minimal Fuss…

Sophie

Will go to no other waxing salon! nkd always provides a friendly service which is high quality, professional and relaxing. Thank you so much!

Amie

My first visit here and I couldn’t fault the service from both ladies. Already booked in again for my next appointment. 

Amie

My first visit to NKD Nottingham and they was fantastic. My therapist was super professional and informative, I was made to feel at ease straight away. Probably one of the best waxing experiences I've ever had, thankyou! 

Today’s visit was faultless! My Therapist was incredibly professional and informative throughout my treatment - she talked me through each step and gave some great tips for aftercare. It was a pleasure to be greeted by the receptionist (I could sense the smile behind the mask!) - she helped me with a problem I had with my account and made some great recommendations for treatments. Both were a credit to your team and delivered true customer service. Thank you for a great experience

Sarah

Lucy

Thank you nkd Leciester. This was my first visit and I had a full Hollywood! They made me feel really comfortable and it was totally painless!

Tasha

I had my first intimate wax. I was a bit nervous having a full wax as only had a normal bikini wax - but I had the best experience and felt so comfortable with my therapist!

Natasha

My therapist was amazing, I was really nervous before the appointment and was made to feel immediately at ease from the second I walked in the door! I cannot rate the treatment highly enough, was less pain than anticipated and my therapist was excellent throughout. Really professional but kept chatting throughout. Thank you for making a treatment I felt awkward about feel much easier!

Rache

I’m new to waxing, but the nkd team at Leicester have all been very friendly and helpful to this newbie. Everything was really well explained and I felt comfortable with the treatment. Thank you!

Any of the following female body and intimate waxing treatments (including combinations) are up for grabs:

  • . Brazilian wax 30min (£37) (All hair removed from the front all the way round 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)

    • Basic bikini/G-String bikini/half leg wax on their own are not eligible for this programme. You must have a minimum of 30 mins body and/or intimate waxing on every visit for Wax Virgin status.

    No, there are no upfront financial commitments to Wax Virgin. When you sign up to Wax Virgin, a 4-month payment plan is put in place, whereby you’ll pay the standard price of the treatment(s) you have signed up to, once a month for 4 months. Each payment you make gives you a Wax Virgin appointment credit.

    The only commitment we require is for you to be serious about achieving smooth, hair-free skin in the long term. This programme is not designed for people looking for a one-off holiday wax, for example. We are eager to help you achieve the results you crave, and that’s only possible when you commit to a series of treatments. The sooner you commit to waxing at 4-5 week intervals, the sooner you will achieve smooth, hair-free skin?

    As waxing experts we know that clients will only get the best results from their waxing if they follow a regular appointment routine, which is what the Wax Virgin Programme is specifically designed to achieve. For this reason, all Wax Virgin appointments must be taken 4 – 5 weeks apart.

    If you cannot commit to an appointment frequency of 4 – 5 weeks for your first 4 waxes, you can book one-off appointments as and when you need them, or sign up to one of our waxing packages to access some substantial discounts. Please remember that the best results will always be found when you train your hair into a good growth cycle.

    The Wax Virgin Programme is designed to get you to a point where you are enjoying smooth, hair-free skin for a few weeks between every appointment. In order to achieve this, it’s important to have a wax every 4-5 weeks at the start of your waxing journey so your hair is trained into the same growth cycle. We ask that you stick to this schedule so that your results are not diminished.

    If you’re really keen to join Wax Virgin but there’s an unavoidable reason why you will be unable to attend all 4 treatments 4 – 5 weeks apart, please speak to us and we will try and work out a plan.

    You may experience some discomfort during your very first appointment, but you won’t find a wax anywhere that hurts less than it does at nkd.

    Many factors can have a bearing on discomfort levels, including hormones, individual pain levels, hair type, and the frequency and type of your previous hair removal routines. Therefore, it’s impossible for us to tell anyone how uncomfortable or otherwise they’re going to find their first wax!

    What we can guarantee, however, is that our therapists are highly skilled, having been trained in a variety of nkd techniques which minimise pain. Our training is so good that we’ve been teaching the art of specialist waxing to other beauty therapists and salon managers since 2012 so they too can wax like experts.

    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.

    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.

    Best Business Award Winner


    Imagine if you never had to worry again about coarse, thick, itchy stubble or shaving rash on your legs, around your bikini line and under your arms? Wouldn’t it be lovely to be able to enjoy that feeling of soft, smooth, hair-free skin for weeks on end – as opposed to days (or even hours) – after you’ve shaved?

    If you’re someone who regularly removes your unwanted body hair, you’ve probably considered other options. Problem is, laser hair removal is so expensive especially considering that it doesn’t usually last forever. Hair removal creams can burn your skin – and smell awful! And razors - well, the less said about them the better! They leave you with fast-growing and uncomfortable stubble, even MORE hair than you started off with, as well as embarrassing and unsightly shaving rashes.

    Waxing is a great solution because it takes far less time, is affordable, and helps you achieve finer, softer, hair so that you never have to deal with itchy stubble again.

    Wouldn’t Life Be Great if You Had Smoother Skin With Minimal Effort?

    Maybe You’re Curious about Waxing but Haven’t Yet been Brave Enough to get Started?

    Maybe you’ve always thought about waxing but so far haven’t given it a go? Or maybe you have tried it before but just didn’t get the results you hoped for? Even worse, you might have tried waxing at another salon and had a bad experience?

    Have you ever said (or thought) any of these things to yourself?

    “I’m afraid waxing will really hurt!”
    “I’m embarrassed at the thought of exposing my body to a beauty therapist and being judged on how I look.”
    “I’m worried about hygiene… especially when it comes to intimate areas.”
    “I’m worried about literally baring all…especially when it comes to having a Brazilian or Hollywood wax!.”
    “I’ve heard that waxing can cause ingrown hairs, which I don’t want to get.”
     
    At nkd ( ), we help you overcome these fears.  We’ll make you feel completely at ease and help you get the best possible results from your waxing routine. Our spotless salons and friendly therapists allow you to enjoy smooth, hair-free skin without the stress.

    I'm ready to give it a go

    Introducing the Wax Virgin Programme: Your Worry-Free Path to Smooth, Hairless Skin

    Whether you’re new to waxing, have had a negative experience elsewhere, or have just never got into the ideal wax routine, nkd’s Wax Virgin Programme can help you. Our tried and tested programme of 4 wax appointments over 4 months will give you the smoother skin and finer, softer, sparser hair growth you’ve been longing for.
     
    Our exceptional therapists have done this thousands of times with people who have never been waxed before. We’ll make waxing a pleasant experience for you so that you feel more confident and happier in your own skin.

    You Name It, We’ve Waxed It.
     
    Unwanted body hair (especially on intimate and private areas) can be a sensitive topic. It’s perfectly natural to feel shy, embarrassed, or scared when exposing your body to someone you don’t know. That’s where the unique skills of our highly-trained, kind, and compassionate waxing specialists come in. Our therapists will put you at ease with their expert, non-judgmental, and professional approach to treatments.
     
    We’ve been removing hair from all body parts for people of all ages, sizes, ethnicities and genders (no matter how you identify!) for many years now. Unlike generalist beauty salons you may have tried before, at nkd, waxing is what we do all day, every day.
     
    Our clients tell us how comfortable they feel from the moment they step into our spotless salons and meet our friendly and welcoming teams. You’ll be delighted by how efficient yet thorough your therapist is at removing your hair with minimal pain and minimum fuss. All while treating you with complete dignity and respect.

    For Pain-Free and Successful Waxing, Consistency Is Key

    You wouldn’t expect immediate results from a single session at the gym. In the same way, you need to gradually train your hair into a regular growth cycle to get the best out of waxing- both in terms of minimising pain and staying smoother for longer.

    That’s why we guide you through 4 appointments over 4 months with the Wax Virgin Programme. Once you start to follow a routine, your hair does too. And once your hair growth cycle is in a good routine, you will start to stay smoother, for longer, in between appointments. Thats why if you want to enjoy smooth, hair-free skin for as long as possible in the summer, we recommend you follow a regular waxing routine all year round.

    Another huge benefit of regular waxing is that it hurts less the more you do it! Trust us – waxing 4 to 5 week regrowth is quicker and hurts far less than waxing 6 to 8 week regrowth.

    Don’t Let Previous Waxing Experiences Get You Down

    If you’ve had a waxing experience in the past that was unbearably painful or gave bad results (like noticing hair growing back too quickly or suffering from ingrowns), it was likely due to inferior techniques, products or aftercare advice.

    At nkd ( ), our therapists use the correct type of wax for the type of hair being removed and are skilled at pulling hairs from the root, not just snapping them at the surface. We also teach you the best ways to keep your open hair follicles clean post-wax and advise you on aftercare practices and products to use at home for the best results.
