Did you know that Hougang means “river end” in Hokkien/Teochew? It’s one of the most popular neighbourhoods in the North-East region of Singapore, so there’s definitely a lot of places for you to pamper yourself.

If you’re feeling fuzzy and looking for a salon to get rid of that unwanted hair, look no further because we’ve compiled a list of the best places in Hougang that provide hair removal service so you can get that self-care you’ve worked so hard for.

There are a few different kinds of hair removal treatments, so what’s the difference between them?

Difference Between Hair Removal Treatments

Waxing

Waxing is a form of semi-permanent hair removal treatment that uses a hot and sticky substance that adheres to the hair and pulls it out at the root with a strip of wax paper. It takes about three to eight weeks for the hair to grow, so you can go quite some time without having to wax again.

Sugaring

Sugaring, which can be traced back to ancient Egypt, is a way to remove unwanted hair by applying a paste of sugar, lemon, and water to the skin. The paste doesn’t actually adhere to the skin, it only sticks to the hair and pulls it out at the root. It’s also said to be less irritating than waxing, so those who easily get red from waxing should try sugaring instead. After sugaring, it takes about three to six weeks for the hair to grow back.

Laser Hair Removal

A permanent form of removing hair, laser hair removal is a medical procedure that focuses concentrated beams of light into hair follicles. The treatment delays hair growth for months or even years, but several sessions are required for initial hair removal, and maintenance sessions may be needed as well.

So, now that you know the difference between various types of hair removal treatments, let’s take a look at some of the best places to remove those unwanted hairs.

Does it hurt?

Beauty is pain, right? But it actually depends on the treatment and your pain tolerance! People usually say that waxing hurts, sugaring hurts less than waxing, and some people experience some pain when they undergo laser hair removal treatments, or not at all.
