Services Available to Bedford Clients
Body Waxing for Women & Men
From full body waxing for women to men’s manscaping and grooming, we handle everything from Brazilians and bikini waxes to legs, underarms, chest, back, and facial waxing. We use professional-grade hard wax and soft wax tailored to each body area for the most comfortable, effective results. Many Bedford clients combine multiple waxing services in a single visit — ask about our bundle pricing.
HydraFacials
Our Signature and Platinum HydraFacials cleanse, extract, and hydrate your skin in a single 30-minute session. It’s one of the most-requested treatments among our Bedford clientele, especially for clients who want visible results without downtime.
Dermaplaning
Our professional dermaplaning treatment removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz using a sterile surgical blade, leaving your skin brighter and smoother. At $85 per session, it’s a favorite add-on for clients who want their skincare products to absorb deeper and their makeup to apply flawlessly.
Circadia Facial Treatments
We’re proud to offer the full line of Circadia professional facial treatments, including our Oncology Facial, Menopause Facial, SWiCH Treatment, and Oxygen Facials. Every facial is customized to your skin condition by a Board-Certified Esthetician using Circadia’s science-backed skincare formulas.
Lash & Brow Services
Complete your look with lash extensions, lash lifts, or lash and brow tinting. Our lash artists create natural, customized looks that enhance your features without looking overdone.

Frequently Asked Questions from Bedford Clients
How far is The Wax Specialists from Bedford?
Most Bedford clients reach our studio in under 10 minutes. We’re located at 150 Beech Street in Manchester — a straight shot east on Route 101 from Bedford Town Center, then south to Beech. Free parking is available right at the building, so you’ll never have to circle the block.
Why should I drive past the chain wax studio in Bedford to come to your studio?
We’ve been open since 1978, before any national chains existed in this market. Our Board-Certified Estheticians are the same team you’ll see visit after visit — no rotating staff. We have 7 private treatment rooms across 2 floors, we offer skincare and facials in addition to waxing, and our long-term Bedford clients tell us the difference between an experienced specialist and a chain technician shows up in the first 30 seconds.
I'm new to Brazilian waxing — what should I expect at my first visit?
We hear this every day, so you’re in good company. Your esthetician will walk you through every step before she begins, you’ll be in a private room with the door closed the entire time, and the actual waxing takes about 15-20 minutes. We use professional hard wax, which is gentler than the strip wax most chains use. Mention it’s your first visit when you book and you’ll receive 25% off.
Do you offer a first-time visit discount?
Yes. Every first-time client receives 25% off their first service. There’s no coupon code needed — just mention it’s your first visit when you book online or call. The discount applies to a single service of your choice.
How long should I let my hair grow before my appointment?
For best results, hair should be about 1/4 inch long — roughly the length of a grain of rice. That’s typically 2-3 weeks of regrowth if you shave, or whenever your last wax has grown back enough. If you’re unsure, come in anyway; we can assess and reschedule if needed.
Are your rooms private? I'm a little nervous about my first visit.
Yes — every service happens in a private treatment room with the door closed. We have 7 rooms across 2 floors. There’s no shared space, no cubicle setup, and no chance of being overheard. You’ll only be with your esthetician. Nervousness is completely normal and our team is trained to make first-time clients comfortable from the moment they walk in.
Do you also do facials, or just waxing?
Both. In addition to body waxing, we offer HydraFacials, Circadia professional facials (including specialty treatments like Oncology Facial and Menopause Facial), dermaplaning, lash extensions, lash lifts, and brow tinting. Many Bedford clients book a wax and a facial together to make the most of the trip.
What's your cancellation policy if I need to reschedule?
We require 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations and no-shows may incur a fee — most of our team is booked in advance and a missed appointment leaves a slot we can’t refill. To reschedule, log into your SalonTarget account or call us at (603) 486-8189.
