From Wax Strips to Confidence: Serhena’s Journey at 57
From Wax Strips to Confidence:
Serhena’s Journey at 57
For more than twenty years, waxing was part of Serhena’s routine — and her least favourite part of the month. Every few weeks she’d book her appointment, rearrange her day, and brace herself for the pain.
“You sit there under the lights, waiting for that strip to rip. Every time, I told myself it’s worth it — but it never felt worth it.”
The Hidden Cost of “Keeping Up”
Waxing wasn’t just painful — it was expensive. Each session cost around £35, plus petrol, parking, and tips. Over a year, that adds up to £400+ for skin that leaves the salon red and irritated.
The Scroll That Changed Everything
One night, scrolling Instagram, Serhena saw a beauty creator using a small precision tool to remove facial hair — no pulling, no redness. That tool was Shape & Shave. Comments ere full of women her age sharing how they’d finally ditched waxing without the pain.
The First Time She Tried It
When her Shape & Shave tool arrived, she followed the simple steps: clean
skin, steady hand, light pressure. The blade glided. No sting. No redness. No fear.
“I kept touching my face — it felt soft, not sore. I couldn’t believe it actualy worked.”
From Pain to Confidence
For years, she believed beauty required suffering. Now her routine feels like care, not punishment. No more appointments, travel, or recovery days — just a quick, gentle refresh at home.
Dermaplaning: Gentle Results, Real Benefits
Dermaplaning is more than hair removal. It’s a gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin and peach fuzz, so makeup applies smoothly and skin looks brighter.
The Real Cost of Waxing vs. Shape & Shave
| Waxing | Shape & Shave |
|---|---|
| ~£35 per session, £400+/year | One-time tool — £24.99 |
| Pain, redness, irritation | Painless, gentle exfoliation |
| Travel + salon time | 5 minutes at home |
That’s money saved, time reclaimed, and confidence restored.
Why Her Story Matters
Serhena’s journey isn’t about ditching waxing — it’s about ditching the idea that pain is normal. She’s proof you can look and feel your best without the sting, cost, or stress. At 57, she’s not chasing trends. She’s rewriting what self-care looks like for women who’ve done it all — and finally found what works.
Dermaplaning FAQ
Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive skin?
Yes — when done with light pressure on clean, dry skin. Always avoid active breakouts and follow with a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer.
Will my hair grow back thicker?
No. Dermaplaning cuts vellus hair at the surface; it doesn’t change follicle size, color, or growth rate.
How often should I use the tool?
Most people refresh every 7–10 days. If you have sensitive skin, start every 2 weeks and adjust.
