I love the beach. I grew up going to the beach with my family and have some incredible memories of the rituals of the beach. Of course since that time, we have learned about all the harmful effects of that lovely bright ball of fire we know as the sun, but I still go, applying 30 spf every hour or so. 2 things I can not live without though is my waxing services and my post beach skin products. I have been getting my legs waxed for as long as I can remember.  Being dark, it is just so convenient as shaving never seemed to give me the smoothness I desired. Alayne White Spa offers the best leg and bikini waxing services because we make it relaxing too.

I get asked all the time how often should i come in for a treatment?

My answer is usually a question. Are you needing skin care or soul care or both?

For great skin here is what i recommend
every 4-6 weeks either a best facial or a good old fashioned facial with a multi peel. 2 times a year upgrade the facial to an Everything but the kitchen sink, this will take care of your entire body.

Okay so i needed to get my legs waxed when i was in spain. My friend, RO, hooked me up with a nice salon in Madrid and off i went. What was really funny is that the lady who took care of me didn't speak one work of english and i am weak in fast spanish, so the communication was hilarious.

She used hard wax on me which i haven't had used since I wasn in esthetics school in 1987. Hard wax is the kind that gets put on thick and then peeled off rather than the strip wax that we use. She did a great job except that she recycled the leg wax she used in a strainer (no wonder the leg wax was cheap). Fortunately she did throw away the bikini wax strips. I was thinking to myself, american women would never allow this, i know it sounds disgusting, but oddly enough, it didn't really bother me. Please don't worry, we will never do this at alayne white spa, but if you ever are wondering why we need to charge what we do, think of this story and perhaps you will have a new appreciation for the sanitation that goes on behind the scenes at alayne white spa.
