Still Have a Question?

Thanks for submitting!
We’ll get back to you shortly.

How long do I have to wait before my first wax?

 

To get the best waxing results, it is recommend to have  at least 3 weeks of growth. This is to ensure you get the best waxing results.

How long will the results last?

 

Initial Wax results vary, especially if you're coming from shaving because the hair cycles have been disrupted by the shaving.  Typically first time waxing guest can expect to see 2+ weeks with minimal to no return growth.  Once you have established a more consistent wax schedule the hair cycles will begin to synchronize resulting in a smoother and longer lasting result, up to 4 weeks hair-free.

How long does a Brazilian take to wax?

Brazilians are done within 15 mins or less. 

Is there anything I should do to prepare for waxing and to be comfortable?

Taking ibuprofen at least 20 minutes before your waxing service can help with the discomfort. If you are a female client, schedule your waxing service the first 2 weeks after your cycle. Your sensitivity level is a lot less during this time. Avoid caffeine and alcohol as these can stimulate, making you more sensitive.

How long will my skin stay red?

It depends on the person and the skin type. For most people the redness is mostly gone after 30 minutes to an hour. Avoid perfumes, scrubs and other irritants the day of your service as this can add to the redness and irritate the skin.

How long will it take for my hair to grow back?

Most Clients schedule their appointments on a 3-6 week basis for most body waxing services.  As you wax, each time your hair tends to get thinner, lighter and much more soft. Once you have a few waxes under your belt we can come up with a good waxing schedule for your needs.

Should I trim my hair before coming in?

No, thank you!

Can I wax on my period?

Yes!  just please wear a tampon during the service.  You may be a little more sensitive, taking an ibuprofen can help with this.

I’m worried about the pain, what can I do to reduce it?

Taking anti-inflammatory medications such as Advil approximately 45 minutes prior to your appointment will help ease the discomfort.  But don’t be worried, the wax we use is a cream wax, very gentle and specifically designed for sensitive skin, and take a deep breathe, it will all be okay! First time clients most common comment after waxing is “That was way easier than I was anticipating”

What should I do in between appointments?

Exfoliate! To ensure your next wax is smoother and prevent ingrown hairs, exfoliate every day in the shower. By doing this, dead skin and oils are removed from the surface of the skin so the hair is able to grow back evenly with minimal irritation.

Should I tweeze or shave in between waxes?

If your waxing appointments do not coordinate with your plans, tweezing is a quick fix. However it is  strongly advise not to shave or trim in between visits because shaving disrupts the hair growth and will make your next wax more uncomfortable. Tweeze if you must but please put down the razor!
