SERVICES
Welcome to Off Wax / Brow Bar
At OFF we think you should actually look forward to having a wax.
We are a specialist waxing destination with a twist.
No white coats, no whale music, no ‘serenity water fountains’.
Seriously smooth skin without it all feeling quite so serious.
You may even end up loving waxing as much as we do...
WAXING PHILOSOPHICAL
At OFF we are into waxing, in fact, we love it.
We are not a beauty salon. We don’t look, feel or act like one and our unique de-fuzzing experience will convert you into a waxaholic. Here's a few reasons why:
THE BARE NECESSITIES
We are a specialist waxing destination and our expert waxing therapists will deliver perfectly smooth skin (actually they are a little obsessive about it). We tailor your waxing treatment specifically for you and have thought of everything to help you switch OFF while you are here.
WELL EN-BROWED
Our therapists are your arch angels. Specially trained in the art of brow shaping and armed with a raft of techniques, they will transform your brows into the perfect frames for your eyes and face shape. And our dedicated barber style brow bar is the perfect place to pop into during a 15-minute break or unwind at if you have more time.
MANSCAPING
We’re not hairist at OFF and offer a full range of male wax treatments. We know it can be a bit intimidating for you blokes so be reassured that our therapists will handle you with care and discretion, and it’s never as bad as you think.
OFF THE SHELF
There were no rules to say we had to stock the normal beauty salon products, so we didn’t. And besides, we don’t think you should have to pay an arm and a leg just to look after them. We are New Zealand stockists of the exclusive Billion Dollar Brows range, direct from the infamous Hollywood brow bar itself, as well as the hottest new global bath and body brand – anatomicals.
TREATMENTS
At OFF we are armed with the latest techniques and products for your waxing treatments, all performed under strict hygiene practices. All our therapists are absolute professionals who love what they do and ensure they will deliver the best result for you, every time.

ABOUT WAXING
Whether it’s your first wax with us, or your first wax at all, there are a few things you should know to say sayonara to evil ingrowns and konichiwa to smooth skin.
WAX ON – PRE WAX SUGGESTIONS
Let your hair grow out at least 0.5 - 1 cm. This will guarantee the most effective treatment.
Gently exfoliate your skin before your appointment.
Worried about sensitivity? Take a couple of Panadol an hour before your appointment. Needless to say, don’t go overboard but it’s not as bad as you think.
Before and after your appointment, hold off getting that bronzed look from a tanning bed.
The appointment lengths are an estimate. If you are scheduled for a 45 minute treatment, it does not necessarily mean it will last 45 minutes. Believe us, we want to make it as quick and painless for you as possible.
AT YOUR APPOINTMENT
If it is your first time with us, your therapist will do a quick consultation with you to ensure the best results.
Make sure you tell your therapist:
The types of skin care you are using, such as retinal, vitamin A, skin lighteners, acids (glycolic, lactic, salicylic) etc.
If you have ever had any problems with waxing in the past.
About any allergies you may have.
If you are shy or more comfortable with certain positions. There are no right or wrong ways, just different techniques. If you are used to something in particular, please let us know. We are here to make you feel comfortable.
Ask about post-wax exfoliating options if you have concerns.
WAX OFF – POST WAX SUGGESTIONS
Don’t expect your skin to be perfectly normal post-wax. If you plan on sporting a swimsuit shortly after your wax, remember there may still be redness.
Wait 24 hours:
- Before applying any make-up, deodorant or moisturisers or exfoliating skin.
- Before exercising, including swimming to prevent any excess sweating. Raising your body temperature may irritate those freshly plucked follicles.
- Before or after going in the sun/solarium as skin will increase in sensitivity.
Don’t shave between waxes – it distorts the hair growth cycle.
Loofah your skin at least three days after your wax, using gloves or a mitt. This will ensure the hair can breach the skin’s surface and avoid ingrown hairs.
Wear cotton clothing to allow your skin to breathe.
Come back for your next wax in 4-6 weeks. This is the recommended amount of time between waxes, however, it is different for everyone. Discuss with your therapist when to book your next appointment.
