Waxing & Eye Care
Introduction
At hair Elegance & Beauty we use only the best of products. In the case of waxing, we use CARON warm and HOT waxes. For new clients to the Salon, we recommend a patch test is carried out a minimum of 24hrs in advance.
The warm wax tends to be used on the standard bikini, legs and under-arm areas.
Although some salons try to use the warm wax on the more sensitive areas (Ouch!), when clients request a Brazillian, Californian or Hollywood wax, we recognise that the hot wax makes the waxing experience a lot more comfortable for our clients and therefore prefer to use premium products.
The founder of Caron Wax, Lilliane Caron’s absolute dedication to therapist and client satisfaction that as a result has seen the “Caron Wax” brand become Australia’s leading salon wax manufacturer; continually setting the salon standard to which others strive. Working long hours, Lilliane became frustrated with the expensive, inferior, difficult to use waxes on the market; so she set about formulating her own range of hard and strip waxes.
In the year 2000, following extensive research, Australia’s No 1 selling wax ‘Brilliance’ was borne.Brilliance, Caron’s signature wax, is a unique hypo allergenic XXX white wax with a creamy texture. It was an immediate hit and is famous for its exceptional flexibility which makes XXX and delicate waxing much easier. It will not go brittle or crack on the skin, delivering unrivalled results. Brilliance is the envy of wax manufacturers’ world over and many have tried, without success, to replicate Caron’s advanced formula.
Since Brilliance, and the industry’s return to hard waxes, Caron has developed a number of elite hard waxes that are pliable, non brittle, gentle, and safe to use on delicate areas of the face and body. Along with Brilliance, these waxes are the choice of only top salons and spas worldwide of which we are delighted to be one.
Our Therapists can deliver every treatment in confidence knowing that Caron products care for the health, comfort and wellbeing of their clients as they indulge in their salon treatment.
With a wealth of knowledge and dedicated research and development, Caron is our preferred choice in professional hair removal products.
Timing & Patch Test Reminder!
Expect the tint, depending on the area treated and the darker the colour you want to achieve, to take anything from 5 to circa 20 minutes. While the results may vary, just like regular colouring a touch-up may be necessary between 4-6 weeks.
Lash and brow tinting is not for everyone. If you have an allergy to hair dye or are easily irritated by colour additives, this treatment might not be for you, hence why we strictly advise a patch test to be carried out a minimum of 24hours prior to treatment. Also, if you are currently suffering with an eye infection we strongly recommend that you skip the idea of having a treatment carried out until it clears up. Furthermore, if using contact lenses, you may be asked to remove these before the service commences.

Eyebrow and Lash Tinting
Do your eyes sparkle like jewels or do they simply get lost in the scenery of your face? Your eyes may be emerald pools, but lackluster brows and nearly invisible lashes can fail to set them off to their utmost potential. Create "eye opening" appeal and add pizzazz to those peepers with a popular procedure known as tinting. Just remember you are not the only one! Many ladies love to enhance their eyebrows or eyelashes. Either just to enhance their make-up on a special occasion or because with age these areas become less noticeable, they all want the professional tint to enhance their features and provide a more youthful and glamorous look.
The Best Shaped Plans
Most of us spend hours primping and plucking in order to find that elusive ideal brow shape. After all the brows act as the natural frame for our face. But even the best-shaped brows may not set off the eyes if hair is fine, sparse or pale. Brow tinting may be your solution. Just like having your hair colored, brow tinting changes the color, adds the illusion of thickness and dimension.
Keep in mind tweezing or waxing should always be done AFTER the tint. This allows for maximizing the amount of brow hair available for shaping. If tweezing before tinting, the maximum potential of each eyebrow may be missed.
Pale Face
Those with incredibly pale skin, often accompanied by very blond or almost-white lashes or brows may find tinting helps add depth to their facial features. Avoid a drastic change, such as going dark brown or black for the brows. Opt instead for a more natural golden girl look. A honey colour brings out the eyes and creates the frame your face so desperately lacks without looking artificial or unnatural. These newly darkened brows help accentuate the eyes, add fullness and create structure.
As for eyelashes, most women gravitate towards a black or dark brown tint. If black mascara is already a make-up essential, choosing the black tint may help benefit your overall look. Mascara may serve a necessary purpose of thickening the lashes, but imagine removing your mascara and maintaining definition of the eyes.
Because Only Your Hairdresser Knows
For those who prefer that only their hairdresser know their hair colour comes from a bottle, brow tinting may be a necessity. If the hair colour des jour is not naturally blonde, the chances that your brows are in sync with your gorgeous new "do" are slim. Overly dark brows combined with blonde hair can look harsh and unsophisticated. Brunettes sporting blonde hair may want to tone down the brows (an exact match isn't necessary) in order to create an esthetically balanced appearance.
As for your eyelashes, once again, it is dependent upon what shade of mascara you prefer combined with which hair colour you've selected. Since your colourist will have to perform the eyelash tint (this is not something to try at home), ask for an opinion. After all, it's their expertise you're paying for.
Semi-Permanent Beauty
Tinting may be the closest thing to permanent make-up for the brows and lashes. Anyone looking to enhance the eyes while vacationing (who wants to apply make-up on holiday?) or for poolside perfection, eyelash tinting could be just what you are looking for. Imagine that freshly applied mascara look after taking a dip in the pool. And if you fear mascara running during a wedding or date night movie, consider enhancing your lashes with the various options we have in-salon for both short and long term effect.
The Early Bird
There is something to be said about looking freshly made-up first thing in the morning. The look of dark lashes and/or brows could also bring some definition to your complexion on your make-up free days. This alternative to mascara would greatly benefit anyone prone to mascara sensitivity, as well as those dealing with allergies that cause watery eyes and smearing mascara.
