With it being holiday season waxing is increasingly popular at this time of year, there are many benefits to waxing especially now that hot waxing is provided meaning the hair can be as short as 1mm and can still be waxed.
When you shave the hair is cut off at the skins surface so it will grow with a blunt end which is what makes the skins surface feel spiky, when you wax it is removed from the root below the skins surface, this means it takes longer to grow back and grows back with a tapered end meaning it will be softer and less noticeable.
It takes from 2 - 8 weeks depending on hair growth for the hair to grow back after a wax.
Wax can make hair growth sparser when carried out for a certain amount of time.
Reno is very proud to say that he has the best waxing system in Cambridge at Stilo and this is backed up by the best team of beauticians who use Lycon waxing system and provide hot wax, jet wax and strip wax.
Why not book in today and enjoy a hair free summer season!

Beautiful Products!
We are lucky at the moment with so many gorgeous hair products on the market… the hardest part is choosing which one to go for!
We think you’ll agree that generally the best way to choose is to go for the range best suited to your hair type, however, right now it is a good idea to go for a sun range, especially if you are going on holiday where your going to be in and out of the sea, in the sunshine, in chlorinated water etc etc.
There are a few different sun hair care ranges out at the moment but the one we think is the star of our shelves is Kerastase, they do a gorgeous range of protective treatments along with specialist shampoos and restorative products. We recommend Huile Celeste to our clients for its protective properties on the hair against sun, sea and chlorine It leaves the hair looking and feeling shiny with an added shimmering finish, it also protects from dryness and other harmful effects the sun can have on your hair.
To find out more about Kerastase and the other ranges we use and retail in our salon why not pop in and we’ll run you through the products and advise you on which of them would suit your hair best at this beautiful time of year.

Facials
Facials are so important to keep your skin looking radiant and feeling great all year round, your face is always exposed to the elements and is often the first impression a person will have from you.
We do highly recommended to cleanse tone and moisturise morning and evening but to give your face the look of perfection, to keep it deeply cleansed and prevent wrinkles you should also have regular facials.
Here at Stilo we provide face mapping with the use of top of the range Dermalogica products, this is ideal to target problem skin and to focus on certain areas of the face which may need particular attention.
Deep cleansing facials target right into the skin below the epidermis and into the dermis, cleansing from below the top level of the skin preventing spots and decreasing oil.
Facials also exfoliate the skin leaving the top layer smooth, supple and radiant, this is important to prevent spots and blackheads by removing dead skin cells which block the pores.
However, we think most important element about a facial is the pampering, you get to lie down for up to an hour without a care in the world whilst a talented trained beautician focuses their 100% time, care and attention to making your skin look beautiful, fresh, clean and radiant… how can you go wrong there?

The History of Hair Straightening and Brazilian Blow Dry
Back in 1872 Marcel Grateau had a brain wave and used a metal rod heated on a fire pulled through hair to straighten it; from this moment onwards women closely followed by men have been searching for a way to create the perfect smooth, shiny, straight, luscious locks with the least damage to their hair!
We’ve all got a friend or heard of someone who has tried the old brown paper and iron on a board in the kitchen trick. Another option is dousing your hair in extreme and harsh chemicals, damaging both your hair and skin. Failing the above you get out of bed an hour early every day to tediously blow dry your hair straight with a round brush, or get out the trusty straighteners which you know are probably damaging your hair using them day in day out along with burning the odd bit of your neck hand or carpet.
Well thanks to some clever stylists in Brazil there is now a new option, this hassle free solution uses keratin which is a naturally occurring protein found in skin, hair and nails. This treatment works by sealing keratin into the individual strands of your hair and is going crazy worldwide!
The keratin penetrates the hair and enhances natural shine by repairing damage which has occurred by general wear and tear of the hair, straightening, blow-drying, colouring etc.
After having a keratin treatment hair is left with minimal amounts of care needed on a day to day basis to leave it smooth, sleek shiny and most of all straight.
Kerastraight lasts for up to 4 months and throughout May the lovely team at Stilo are offering 25% discount on this wonderful treatment.
