What is it?
Part waxing joint, part lingerie shop, Strip is a one-stop destination for your nether-region needs. There are six branches in London, but our favourites are probably the dinky Soho outpost with its themed treatment rooms and choice pick of luxury labels, and the Covent Garden branch on Floral Street that shares the space with a hairdresser.
What’s the vibe?
For high-quality products, best-of-the-best wax technicians, a cheeky bit of Friends on Netflix on the telly, and minimal pain (we said minimal, but when I visited, my technician Zara worked wizardry, and the wax was almost painless. No guarantees though). There’s a choice of strip wax or hot wax, with a number of different options to choose from, and Brazilians start at £55. The full works (underarm, full arm, full leg, bikini basic, lower back, navel line) starts at £144. Strip also offers laser hair removal services, with frequent sales – we haven’t tried it ourselves, but we’d trust these guys with everything hair-related.
