Summer Ready 5 Hair Removal Trends to Try in Birmingham 2025

Nothing says "summer" like smooth, hair-free skin. Whether you're hitting Sutton Park for a sunny picnic, dancing at Birmingham Pride, or simply enjoying the season's garden parties, feeling your best starts with a little self-care.

Hair removal trends in 2025 are all about comfort, skin health, and cutting-edge technology. From advanced laser sessions to soothing post-treatment solutions, there’s something for everyone. Not sure where to start? We'll guide you through the hottest hair removal trends in Birmingham and show you why The Beauty Station is the go-to spot for achieving flawless results.

Trend 1 Soft Waxing with Cooling Technology

What it is

Soft waxing with cooling formulas is the elevated version of traditional waxing. Infused with cooling agents like menthol or allantoin, these waxes soothe the skin while removing hair, offering a gentler, more comfortable experience.

Why it’s perfect for summer

For events like weekends at Cannon Hill Park or beach trips to Weston-super-Mare, soft waxing keeps your skin smooth and irritation-free. The cooling effect reduces redness and sensitivity, meaning you can step back into your plans in under an hour.

Try it at The Beauty Station Birmingham

At The Beauty Station, we use Cryo-Sooth Wax, a premium patented cooling formula. Our trained technicians apply the wax thinly, remove it carefully in the direction of hair growth, and finish with an aloe vera mist for extra comfort.

Trend 2 Low Fluence Laser Hair Removal

What it is

Low fluence laser hair removal uses diode lasers with calibrated energy pulses to ensure effective results while reducing discomfort. This technology is especially great for sensitive areas like the bikini line or underarms.

Summer benefits

Imagine stepping out in strappy tops or your favourite swimsuit the day after a laser session without worrying about redness or irritation. Low fluence lasers also allow for shorter sessions (hello, 15-minute underarm appointments) and a quicker return to beach-ready confidence.

What makes The Beauty Station the best

We use the Clarity Plus Diode Laser, which integrates cooling wands for heat reduction, leaving your skin feeling refreshed. Before your appointment, we recommend clean-shaven skin, and we provide complimentary gel packs and SPF 50 aftercare samples. Want the best results? Book a course of 6–8 sessions starting in May or June to be silky smooth and ready for July's sunshine.

Trend 3 Sugar Waxing for Sensitive Skin

What it is

Sugar waxing, also called sugaring, is a natural and gentle method made from sugar, lemon, and water. It works by binding to hair rather than live skin cells, making it perfect for sensitive skin.

Why it’s better than traditional waxing

Less follicle stress means fewer ingrown hairs and less post-treatment redness. Sugaring is particularly beneficial for those with eczema or mild dermatitis.

Why you should try it at The Beauty Station

We use a customised PureSugar formula free from artificial colours or fragrances, perfect for even the most sensitive skin. We finish treatments with a cucumber-infused cooling lotion, and every client goes home with a sample sugar scrub to prevent irritation between sessions. It’s the gentle solution your skin has been waiting for!

Trend 4 At Home Pre Wax Prep Kits

Why preparation matters

Prepping your skin before waxing is the secret to a smooth, effective treatment. It reduces redness, promotes even hair removal, and tackles ingrown hairs before they start.

What’s in a prep kit

• Exfoliating Mitt or Scrub with gentle glycolic acid for smooth results.
• Pre Wax Oil to create a protective barrier on the skin.
• Instructional Leaflets to guide you on the best timing for prepping (e.g., exfoliate 24 hours before a session).

Convenient shopping in Birmingham

Trend 5 Post Treatment Cooling and Moisturising

Why aftercare is essential

Proper aftercare speeds up skin recovery while preventing hyperpigmentation and irritation. Plus, it keeps your skin glowing, so you can confidently show off your smooth legs during events at The Mailbox or Brindleyplace.

Top aftercare products for 2025

• Aloe and Chamomile Gel for instant hydration.
• Hydrogel Cooling Masks to calm and refresh the skin.
• Mineral SPF 50 Stick to protect treated areas without clogging pores.

Professional aftercare at The Beauty Station

We provide every client with a complimentary Chill and Heal gel application after their session. For those wanting the very best, our Summer Calm Bundle combines our soothing gel and SPF stick at a discounted rate for same-day purchases.
