Frequently Asked Questions
What is waxing?
Waxing is a hair removal method that involves applying warm or cold wax to the skin and then removing it quickly, pulling out hair from the root. It can be used on various body parts, including the face, legs, arms, bikini area, back, and chest.
How long do waxing results last?
Waxing results typically last between 3 to 6 weeks, depending on individual hair growth rates. With regular waxing, hair may grow back finer and sparser over time.
Does waxing hurt?
Some discomfort is expected during waxing, especially for first-timers. However, the pain is usually brief and lessens with regular treatments. Our licensed wax specialists use techniques to minimize pain and make the experience as comfortable as possible.
How should I prepare for a waxing appointment?
Ensure your hair is at least 1/4 inch long for effective waxing. Exfoliate the area a day before your appointment and avoid applying lotions, oils, or deodorants on the day of your session. Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment.
Are there any post-waxing care tips?
After waxing, avoid sun exposure, hot baths, saunas, sexual intercourse and intense exercise for at least 24 hours. Gently exfoliate the area after a couple of days to prevent ingrown hairs and moisturize regularly to keep the skin smooth.
Can I wax if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, waxing can be done on sensitive skin. Inform your wax specialist about your skin sensitivity so they can use suitable products and techniques to ensure a gentle and effective waxing experience.
How often should I get waxed?
For best results, schedule waxing appointments every 4 to 6 weeks. Regular waxing helps maintain smooth skin and can reduce hair regrowth over time.
Is waxing safe during pregnancy?
Waxing is generally safe during pregnancy, but it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before booking an appointment. Inform your wax specialist about your pregnancy, and they will take extra care to ensure your comfort.
Can I wax during my period?
Yes, you can wax during your period. However, your skin may be more sensitive, making the experience slightly more uncomfortable. If you choose to wax during your period, wear a tampon or menstrual cup, and inform your wax specialist so they can make any necessary adjustments to ensure your comfort.
What are the benefits of waxing over other hair removal methods?
Waxing removes hair from the root, providing longer-lasting results compared to shaving. It also exfoliates the skin, leaving it smooth and soft. With regular waxing, hair regrowth may become finer and sparser.
Can I wax if I'm using retinoids or other skin treatments?
It's best to avoid waxing if you're using retinoids or other skin treatments that increase skin sensitivity. Consult with your healthcare provider and inform your wax specialist about any medications or treatments you're using before your appointment.
