Wax FAQs

 

  • Long lasting smooth skin. No cuts or irritation from a razor. No dark, itchy stubble. Finer/thinner hair regrowth. Slow hair regrowth.

  • We recommend having 2-3 weeks of hair growth for your first wax. So the hair must be at least 1/4 of an inch or the length of a grain of rice. If the hair is longer, there’s no need to trim.

  • There is some pain involved as we are pulling the hair from the root and the hair follicle is larger than the pore it is coming out of but we strive to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the process. We’ll check in and chat to keep your mind distracted.

  • -Gently exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment to remove any dead skin cells around the hair

    -Wear loose clothing

    -Limit your caffeine and alcohol intake the day of your appointment as it can stimulate the nervous system and make waxing more painful

    -A pain reliever/anti-inflammatory can be taken 30 minutes prior to a waxing appointment to minimize discomfort

    -No tanning or sun 72 hours before wax
