A smooth and hairless body was the standard of beauty in ancient Egypt. The pharaoh’s wife set the example of removing body hair and
soon every woman in Egypt and a short while later, the Greeks too, followed suit. But just like any fad, body waxing gradually faded away and wasn’t revived to its former glory until the bikini revolution in the 1960’s. Today, waxing salons thrive in almost every city in the world, with varying standards in waxing.
Durga Srivastava realized that most waxing salons she patronized in Colombo were below the quality and hygiene conditions she expected, especially when it came to intimate waxing.
So as the saying goes, “if you want something done right, you’ve gotta do it yourself”, Durga decided to launch her very own waxing salon: the birth of BeWAXeD, Exclusive Ladies Body Waxing Parlour.
Durga says, “I wanted to create a women’s ONLY space where the ladies can be comfortable, openly speak about what they require without having to be embarrassed about any lingering men”.
No Double Dipping
BeWAXeD upholds the highest standards in maintaining exceptional hygiene. Their “No Double Dipping” policy is one you don’t come across in many places in Colombo.
Most salons keep dipping the same spatula into the wax, which is then reused on another unsuspecting client, increasing the chances of the spreading of bacteria.
From disposable wax applicators (spatulas) to disposable wet wipes and disposable gloves, one is assured a germ free wax at BeWAXeD.
BeWAXeD offers two types of waxes to choose from: Indian Wax (sugar wax) and Blue Wax (Spanish wax/no strips wax). And for those who have never waxed before, BeWAXeD offers a complimentary patch test to check skin’s reaction.
The BeWAXeD professional Guide to a great wax-
Pre-waxing tips:
Avoid any body lotions and oil based shower gels on the day of the waxing session.
Be hairy- hair has to be at least 0.25 inches in length in order to achieve great results.
Be as comfortable as possible. Wear loose clothing to prevent irritation after waxing.
Be relaxed: the more relaxed you are, the better the hair removal results.
Post Waxing Tips:
No HOT baths for at least 2 hours after waxing
Avoid ultra-violet rays from tanning beds and sunbathing for at least 48 hours.
Resist the sauna and steam room for at least 48 hours.
Wait 48 hours and then exfoliate in order to avoid ingrown hairs.
Waxing of the intimate area does involve some amount of pain and yes awkwardness. So if you’ve never gone all bare down there before, then do it in 3 simple stages.
Start with the bikini wax
Then move to a Brazilian wax
Then you may go ALL BARE with a Hollywood wax
“There is no reason for embarrassment. The waxing specialists are professionals and are there to do their job. They’re not there to judge anyone” assures Durga. She also says, “affairs in boudoir become more pleasurable when one’s after an intimate wax as it makes the area extra sensitive, heightening and intensifying the moment”.
BeWAXeD clientele says:
“BeWAXeD... recommended! Awesome prices, neat and clean, mild smell of Dettol (Which is good hygienically speaking) great service, awesome aloe gel and great after service advice”
“Thank you so much for the great experience I had today :D I am hooked & I have recommended you to all my friends too. BeWAXed has become a bare necessity now!”
“ I can see myself coming here every once in three weeks or so. Good job done I'd say. I had a good feeling about it from the inception and I was not disappointed.”
So, there you go… whenever you have a hairy problem, BeWAXeD with take it all off for you…

Jul 11, 2013 at 12:00 amWhen I saw the Facebook page, I was impressed with the knowledge they had about waxing and the fact they used the Blue No-Strip Wax. it was a little out of the way in Nugegoda, but I decided to make the trip. Booking was easy and they were very helpful with directions, etc. Though the salon is new, the building is old. The toilet was very bad and the floor was very dirty (it was old tiles). That aside, the waxing table where you are meant to lay down, did not have any cover! Every other salon I
