Bare It All

CEBU, Philippines - Hair waxing is a regular beauty regimen for the ladies and gents. In fact, it’s a basic service offered in salons because of the growing clamor to put an end to one’s unwanted hair woes.

Some who aren’t completely satisfied with hair remover roll-ons and strips prefer to undergo hair waxing because it can do wonders: it assures an individual of being hair-free for two to six weeks; hair re-growth is finer/sparser; waxing moisturizes, exfoliates and bleaches the skin.

Kiss your unwanted hair dilemmas goodbye with the arrival of the first Cebu-outlet of Lay Bare Waxing Salon, the country’s pioneer exclusive waxing salon through franchisees Dr. Mitzy Ypil, an OB-GYNE and her better half, cardiologist Dr. Dodong Ypil. While hair waxing makes some of us cringe because of its painful process, Lay Bare Waxing Salon only uses cold sugar honey-based wax, which is closest to painless procedure, instead of the usual hot wax.

Lay Bare Waxing Salon, established by the Hilario siblings of Manila three and a half years ago, has developed its very own organic wax jelly made of a combination of honey (moisturizing agent), sugar (exfoliating, removes dead skin cells) and calamansi (bleaching), hence it’s non-irritating. The salon follows hygienic measures such as no double-dipping and ensures wax jelly is individually packed.

Lay Bare Waxing Salon located in 2F North Arcade of Banilad Town Centre exudes a Zen vibe. They offer eyebrow threading, upper and lower lip, face, underarm, arm, chest, back, bikini, Brazilian, legs and full body waxing at affordable rates!

Cheap thrills

Lay Bare offers a 20 percent discount on all services until December 15, 2009. Its Birthday Promo is a treat: if a “waxer” visits the salon on his/her birthday month, he avails of a free eyebrow thread and a 15 percent discount on all services. Upon his second visit still on his birthday month, he gets a 15 percent off on his second eyebrow threading service. – Jen F. Vega
