Two thirds of Britons could be at risk of an intimate waxing injury.
Some 60 per cent of those who have regular waxing do not know if their therapist has any qualifications or liability insurance – which is a legal requirement – a survey of 1,000 British women shows.
Just under 65 per cent do not know what products are used on their skin, while below half receive no aftercare advice.
Experts say practitioners with a Level 2 NVQ, or equivalent, in beauty therapy will have had basic safety training.

Rebecca Crawford, founder of Salon Rated, which carried out the survey, said: 'Unfortunately, cutting corners and using cheap, damaging products has become the norm for some salons in the UK.'
Qualified services can be found on The British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology's website (babtac.com).
