Firstly, we know: waxing sucks.

However, if you have chosen to be something of a smooth operator, it helps to have an excellent salon to visit in a convenient location.

That’s why we’re overjoyed at the news that City Wax is opening a new Cork City salon, where you can get your shaggy shins sorted in record time, then head back out for more enjoyable pursuits, like shopping or brunch.

You can now have all your body hair dilemmas dealt with at the third City Wax inside Kopper City hair salon on Half Moon Street.

As well as their usual treatments, the salon also offers the new Lycon Pinkini Brazilian, which uses a low-temperature wax for a ‘practically painless’ experience.

Appointments can be made online here or by calling 085 8622102. They’re even offering a free CityWax brow (worth €25) when you book in any treatment at the Half Moon Street spot before October 9th!
