Otylia Roberts
Otylia Roberts has been established in London for over 30 years.
She’s the lady credited with introducing the Brazilian waxing technique to the UK so where better than her swanky new George Street salon for a spot of below the belt grooming.
With a client roster that reads like an issue of Hello Magazine from Victoria Beckham to Gwyneth Paltrow, I was certainly in good company.
A Brazilian isn’t for the faint-hearted but at least her favoured hot wax technique uses natural beeswax with added soothing agents, is more effecitive at removing hair than strip wax and is also a mite less painful which has got to be good.
Otylia started her career as a nurse before her change of direction into the world of beauty – something that’s actually quite reassuring as it goes!
She’s thorough … very thorough and it does feel a little like a visit to the gynaecologist but the results are definitely worth any minor indignity.
She briskly applies powder and soothing gels as she works so following the inevitable initial inflammation, there’s no adverse reaction at all and all you’re left with, as the Johnson’s ad goes, is baby soft skin.
So much more alluring than baby gorilla.
