What this service offers
Fast 20-Minute Session
A quick, efficient grooming session that fits easily into a lunch break or busy schedule.
Skin-Nourishing Waxes
We use gentle, low-temperature waxes that remove stubborn hair without pulling or causing excessive redness.
Smooth, Natural Blending
Our estheticians expertly feather the edges so there are no awkward or harsh hair transition lines.
What to expect
Agree the area
Confirm the boundaries of the hair removal and point out irritated, broken or recently treated skin.
Remove the hair in sections
Wax removes hair from the root. Tell the therapist if the heat or removal feels uncomfortable; the area and method should be adjusted where necessary.
Check the skin
Before dressing, discuss redness, suitable skin care and clothing that will not rub the treated area.
Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Explain when you last shaved or waxed so the therapist can assess whether there is enough regrowth.
- Mention retinoids, acne medication and recent peels. Do not wax sunburned or broken skin, or change prescribed medication without advice.
After your appointment
- While the skin is irritated, avoid hot bathing and friction; a cool compress can help with discomfort.
- Use a gentle moisturiser suitable for your skin. Persistent redness, swelling or worsening pain needs assessment rather than more waxing.

FAQs
What is the difference between an upper back wax and a lower back wax?
An upper back wax covers the neck base, tops of the shoulders, and shoulder blades down to the mid-back. A lower back wax covers the area from the mid-spine down to the waistband and top of the hips.
What is the difference between a half back wax and a full back wax?
A half back wax targets only one section of the back (upper OR lower), whereas a full back wax removes hair across the entire length of the back from neck to waistline.
Will there be a harsh line where the waxing stops?
No! Our experienced estheticians at Galeo Beauty use feathering techniques around the edges of the waxed zone to ensure a smooth, natural-looking transition.
How do I prevent pimples or bumps after getting my lower or upper back waxed?
Post-wax breakouts occur when sweat or bacteria enter open pores. Keep the area clear by avoiding heavy sweating, tight gym clothes, and hot baths for 24–48 hours, and apply a light soothing lotion.
How long will a half back wax last?
Your skin will stay smooth and hair-free for 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your natural hair growth speed.
