Frequently Asked Questions

Emma Blakeman in her private studio in Brighton

Welcome to my FAQs — I hope you find exactly what you are looking for. These are the questions I am asked most often, and I have done my best to answer each one with the care and clarity it deserves. If something is not covered here, please do not hesitate to get in touch. I am always happy to help.

What is The Emma Blakeman Method?

The Emma Blakeman Method is my signature, bespoke approach to expert, personalised treatments. Drawing on more than 20 years of industry experience, I combine advanced techniques with thoughtful personal touches and attentive care to create a treatment plan that feels uniquely tailored to you and your skin.

Why choose me?

My studio is a calm, comfortable space designed for every woman. I want each client to feel completely at ease from the moment they arrive. I am especially mindful of anyone who may feel overwhelmed by busy environments, have sensory sensitivities, or simply benefit from a little more time and understanding during their treatment. In my private studio, you can expect a relaxed, discreet and judgement-free experience, where your comfort and confidence are always the priority.

Where are you located?

My private studio is based in Patcham, Brighton, just off the A27 and A23, making it easy to reach from across Sussex. Many clients travel from Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Lewes, Eastbourne, Angmering and the surrounding areas for bespoke facials and intimate waxing treatments.

Is it ok to share my music preferences?

Absolutely. Some clients prefer to listen to their own podcasts or playlists, while others feel most relaxed with no music at all. You are very welcome to share what helps you feel calm and comfortable — I will always adapt the environment to suit you.

I don’t know what facial to book

If you are unsure where to start, the 60-minute bespoke facial is usually the best option. It allows enough time for a thorough skin analysis, a personalised treatment, and tailored guidance on your ongoing skincare and any recommended treatment plan.

What’s the benefit of a 90 minute facial?

A 90-minute facial offers more time to work in a truly bespoke way. For some clients, this might mean additional focus on extractions; for others, it may include CACI technology to help tone and support the muscles of the face. The extended time allows for deeper relaxation and a more comprehensive, personalised treatment if your schedule and budget allow.

I’m nervous about waxing and don’t know what to expect

Completely understandable. Please go to my intimate waxing page where you can find a lot of information to help you prepare.
