In brief
- Upper back runs from your shoulders to halfway down your back, lower back is the half below that. Each part takes about twenty minutes.
- Lower back costs €20.00 and upper back €20.00. For your full back you book both.
- Your hair needs to be at least five millimetres long. On your back that's usually no problem, because you don't shave there yourself.
- After that you stay smooth for three to four weeks. Body waxing at Moons we only do for women.

Your back is the area you can't see yourself.
Of all areas, your back is the hardest to keep up yourself. You can't see it, you can barely reach it with a razor, and what you do get grows back coarse within a few days. That's why it's especially nice to hand this one over: in twenty minutes per part it's done, and you're weeks ahead.
We wax your back in two parts. Upper back runs from your shoulders to halfway down your back, lower back is the half below that. If you want your full back, book both, and we'll schedule enough time. Many clients combine it with their arms or underarms, so everything happens in one appointment.
The wax pulls the hair out root and all. That's why you stay smooth for three to four weeks, and with a regular rhythm the hair often grows back finer. Body waxing at Moons we only do for women; the facial areas are for everyone.
What you book for which part of your back.
| Topic | From where to where | Duration | Price |

| Upper back | From your shoulders to halfway down your back | 20 minutes | €20.00 |
| Lower back | From halfway down your back to your waist | 20 minutes | €20.00 |
| Full back | Upper and lower back in one appointment | About 40 minutes | €20.00 plus €20.00 |
You pay afterwards in the salon, by card or in cash. The other body areas are listed under waxing.
Twenty minutes per part of your back.
You lie on your front on the treatment bed, with a towel over whatever isn't being waxed. Beforehand we tell you what's going to happen and along the way we say what you can expect.
Assessing
We look at the length of your hair and the condition of your skin. We don't wax irritated, sunburnt or recently treated skin.
Preparing
We cleanse your skin and apply a protective layer, so the wax only grips the hair.
Waxing
We apply the wax in the direction of hair growth and remove it against the growth, in small sections. Any remaining hairs we remove with tweezers.
Calming
Then calming care goes on against redness and bumps. Some redness is normal and fades within a few hours.
The first few days after waxing your back.
First 24 hours
Skip the sauna, sunbed, swimming pool and hard exercise. Choose something loose: a tight top or a bra that rubs doesn't feel pleasant on a freshly waxed back.
From day two
Scrub lightly and moisturise your back. On your back especially, where clothing rubs all day, that helps against ingrown hairs. A scrub glove or a long-handled brush makes it easier.
No shaving in between
Otherwise you start the cycle over and end up with hairs of different lengths. After about four weeks the hair is long enough again for the next appointment.
Good for your back and when we wait first.
A good idea if
- You have hair on your back that you can't keep up properly yourself.
- You want a smooth back for the summer, a backless dress or an occasion.
- You want your back, arms and underarms done in one appointment.
Check with us first
- Small wounds, eczema, spots or an inflammation on your back. We skip those areas.
- Sunburnt or just been on the sunbed. Then we wait a while, because your skin damages more easily.
- A cream with retinol or acids on your back. Stop using it a few days beforehand. If you take medication that makes your skin more sensitive, mention it at your appointment.
An inflammation belongs with your GP.
We don't wax an area with eczema, small wounds or an inflammation. If an ingrown hair turns red, warm and painful, or doesn't clear up by itself after a few days, see your GP. If you have a lot of spots or inflammation on your back, have that looked at first before we start waxing.

Book an appointmentFrequently asked questions about back waxing
How much does back waxing cost in Enschede?
At Moons, lower back costs €20.00 and upper back €20.00. Each part takes about twenty minutes, and for your full back you book both. You pay afterwards in the salon.
How long does my back stay smooth after waxing?
Three to four weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. If you wax regularly, the hair often grows back finer.
How long does the hair on my back need to be?
At least five millimetres. On your back that's usually the case by itself, because you can't reach there to shave.
Does back waxing hurt?
It's briefly tender, especially the first time. We work in small sections, quickly and carefully, and afterwards we apply calming care.
Do you also wax men's backs?
No, body waxing at Moons is for women only. Having your face waxed is possible, because the facial areas are for everyone.
