nkd ( ) stands for waxing and beauty for everyone – we believe that it’s your body and your choice. That’s why we’re here to support you in whichever waxing and beauty choices you decide to make – whatever your reasons.
Our commitment to equality and empowerment doesn’t stop in our salons though. We’re proud to support a number of projects with similar goals throughout the world, focusing on causes that support female empowerment and gender equality issues so we can try and ensure that people everywhere have the same freedoms and choices.
Every time you have an appointment in one of our salons, train with us or buy one of our own-brand aftercare products, we donate money to one of these causes. This means that by supporting nkd you’re also supporting a wide range of other people throughout the world.
These are our commitments:
Since nkd ( ) was established in 2009 we have been committed to supporting causes throughout the world and we want to continue to do so. To date we have impacted well over 20,000 people with the donations that you have enabled us to give… and we don’t want to stop there!
This includes an adolescent Girls Club where members meet in a supportive environment to discuss reproductive and sexual health matters through monthly meetings. They are educated about issues such the female anatomy; their monthly menstruation; reproductive and sexual health precautions they can take; and their right to say “No” to child marriage – not marrying before 18 and preferably waiting until 21.
Hygiene kits give women and girls in countries such as Kenya basic female hygiene necessities such as sanitary pads. Many women and girls living in poverty cannot afford to purchase disposable pads, and so use unsanitary and unhygienic materials such as old rags, which can cause infections.
Many girls will stay home from school because they are embarrassed to attend school, missing a week of school every month – this can add up to 10 or more weeks a year! Many end up falling behind and even dropping out of school as a result.
The reason that a small, independent company like nkd has been able to make such amazing commitments is thanks to the lifetime partnership we have formed with the Global Giving Initiative, B1G1 Business for Good. B1G1 (which stands for Buy One Give One) allows small businesses like nkd – and individuals like you – to make a difference in extraordinary ways. This is because B1G1 works on the basis that every business transaction that happens in the word should trigger an act of good somewhere else.
We truly believe that business has the power to change lives through giving and we’re so grateful that customers like you have already helped to make a meaningful difference.

B1G1 is a social enterprise and non-profit organisation with a mission to create a world that’s full of giving. 100% of all contributions made to B1G1 go directly to their projects.
All B1G1 projects are in line with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that were set by global leaders back in 2015. Those 17 SDGs represent the global community’s next step in ending poverty, fighting inequality and injustice and tackling climate change for the next 15 years.
