Hi and welcome,
My name is Andrew Thompson. I've been working with naked bodies for 25+ years and I will be your waxing therapist.
Many places provide Ladies' Waxing, but what sets Reef apart is that it isn't a fluffy beauty salon. I wouldn't know a pedicure if it bit me. 90% of what I do is removing unwanted hair. It's a specialty, not just an add-on service.
Also different, is that I understand that people come in all shapes and ages and sizes, and that women in particular, are very self conscious if they don't have the 'perfect' body type.
Female waxing clients are also self conscious if they have body hair in places that makes them feel 'un-feminine'.
You don't have to worry about that here. With 100,000 treatments under my belt, there is nothing I haven't seen. I'm not going to judge you in the least.
So yes, my studio is different. It's calm and relaxed, fun and friendly, and sometimes just a little bit silly. If a more human experience with a focus on quality is what you're looking for, give me a try.
So that's the big sell. I hope you liked it 😊
Call me on 4926 7778 or 0422 276 202 if you have any questions or to make a booking. You can also book online.
Have a brilliant day,
Andrew Thompson.

How much does female waxing hurt?
As a general guide, the feeling is like being slapped with a plastic ruler and fades quickly. Follow up treatments are gentler than the first, as the hair hasn't had time to fully develop.

I'm pregnant. Can I get waxed?
It all depends on your stage of pregnancy. Here is a short but comprehensive article that explains it all:
| return to index |
Will my Therapist be male or female?
I shouldn't have to qualify this question but I will. Your therapist will be me, Andrew Thompson, a male with over 20 years experience in the Australian beauty industry, and 30+ years working with naked human bodies, as an artist, sports practitioner, remedial massage therapist, and acupuncturist. If you have issues with my gender, regardless of my experience and unblemished reputation over three decades, I'd prefer you go somewhere else.
I have a penis but identify as female, gender-fluid, or non binary. Will you charge me female pricing?
No. If I am waxing male anatomy, you will be charged male pricing.
If you are post-operative transgender and have physically transitioned to female anatomy, I will honour female pricing for small body areas, i.e. under arms, snail, nipples, hands, and feet.
For larger body areas, I will consider female pricing on a case by case basis.
Again, this will depend on your physique, e.g. the physical size and coverage density of the legs of a 180cm male could take a lot longer to wax than those of a 160cm female, so naturally there will be a price difference.

If I get a ladies' Brazilian wax, will it increase sensitivity during sex?
Yes, dramatically. The difference is amazing. It's even better if your partner gets done too.
| return to index |
Can you perform massage after a waxing treatment?
Yes, if you also want remedial massage, I can do that using after-wax lotion instead of oil to minimise the chance of infection.
How old do I have to be to get a Bikini Wax?
If you just want a standard bikini wax AND if your mother has signed the consent form AND she is present in the room during treatment * not a friend or sister - only your mother * then 13 is OK.
If you want a G-string or Brazilian Wax, I will not treat a female client under the age of 18.

I'm prone to ingrowns whether I wax or shave. What should I do?
I've written an article covering this topic in great detail. Check it out here:

I'm self conscious about how I look and I'm worried you'll judge me.
I've worked with naked human bodies of all shapes and sizes my entire adult life. I'm here to remove your body hair, not to give you a score card. Who am I to judge your appearance?
In any case, you've got nothing I haven't seen before, so don't stress.

I had a caesarean section. Around the scar is hairy but it hurts to touch.
Yes I get this question a lot. I will avoid the caesarean scar for a few months after bub's birth in any case.
Usually at around six months, the scar has well and truly healed and stops being painful to put hand pressure on. Most ladies are comfortable with me waxing around the scar or even directly over it at this point.
| return to index |
What could prevent me having a treatment?
To save replication here, this article in the Reef Knowledge Base lists the contraindications and reasons why you may not be suitable for treatment.
| return to index |
Will I have to get on all fours to have a Brazilian?
No. A lot of places still ask clients to get on their hands and knees but I have no idea why. I will do my best to preserve your modesty at all times, and you won't need to get into any strange positions.

I'm really hairy all over. I feel like a freak and it's affecting my life.
If this applies to you, let me say emphatically, you are not a freak. It is very common for girls of any age to have some type of male hair growth patterns (hirsutism), and it's just one of those things that girls don't talk about with each other. It makes them feel un-feminine, and let's face it, can you really trust your friend not to let it slip? So yes, it's understandable that you're upset and feel isolated. But I say again, you are definitely not unusual.
I can think of twenty regular female clients off the top of my head, who come to me each month to have their breast and back hair removed. My own niece has a hairy back. She did the day she was born, and still has twenty years later. As for facial hair, the truth is that 95% of ladies get it at some point in the lives, some as teenage girls, some as grand-mums, and most after having a baby.
Whatever age you are, or wherever your hair grows, relax - They might not write articles about women's body hair in the glitzy magazines, but you are definitely not unusual.

Can you do a waxing outcall to my home?
Unfortunately no, it would make the treatment too expensive. Wax pots take around 40 minutes to heat up, and we would have to charge for that time. If we preheat the pots, then we risk spillage during transportation, which again is a costly (and messy) affair.
| return to index |
Can I book a spray tan for after my wax treatment?
Unfortunately no. The after wax lotion will create a barrier between your skin and the tanning solution. Ideally you should leave the after wax lotion on, then go for a spray tan in a day or two.
| return to index |
Is Waxing Permanent?
No. Over years, waxing may have a general thinning effect but if you stop waxing, it will return to its previous state. If you want a more permanent solution, PTF Hair Removal which is a light-based treatment which is extremely effective.
