Let’s just all agree that a lot of good comes with wax. It beats a shave in the shower or bath, lasts longer and with the right person at the end of the strip, is the best way to get things nice and neat. Especially if you’re planning to pop on a bikini. But nobody likes a chop shop where it’s rough and painful. We found the places to get waxed with tender love and care.

Founded in 2001 by Cynthia Chua, the Ministry of Waxing has a reputation of offering the least painful waxing across the capital.
