How should I prepare for my waxing appointment?

For best results, exfoliate gently 1-2 days before your appointment to remove dead skin. Avoid using heavy lotions or oils on the area to be waxed. Wear loose, comfortable clothing on the day of your appointment. Avoid sun exposure for 24 hours before waxing if possible.

How long should my hair be for waxing?

Hair should be at least ¼ inch long (about the length of a grain of rice) for the wax to grip properly. If hair is too short, waxing won't be effective. If it's longer than ½ inch, we can trim it before waxing.

Can I wax if I'm taking certain medications?

Some medications can affect skin sensitivity and healing. Please inform us of any medications you're taking, especially retinoids, antibiotics, or blood thinners. If you're unsure, consult your doctor before your appointment.

Should I shave before my waxing appointment?

No, please don't shave before waxing. The hair needs to be present for the wax to remove it from the root. If you do shave by accident, please wait at least 3-5 days for regrowth before your appointment.

Will waxing be painful?

Waxing does involve some discomfort, but most people find it manageable. The sensation is usually described as a quick pulling sensation. Regular waxing clients often report that appointments become less uncomfortable over time as hair becomes finer.

How long does a waxing appointment take?

Most waxing appointments take 15-45 minutes depending on the area being waxed. A full leg wax typically takes 45 minutes, while an underarm or bikini wax takes 15-20 minutes.

Can I wax during my period?

Yes, you can wax during your period, though you may experience increased sensitivity. If you prefer to avoid discomfort, scheduling your appointment for a few days after your period ends might be more comfortable.

Why is my skin red after waxing?

Redness is normal after waxing and usually subsides within a few hours to 24 hours. It's caused by the hair being removed from the follicle. Applying a soothing lotion or ice can help reduce redness more quickly.

What's this bumpy texture on my skin?

Small bumps are a normal reaction to waxing and are typically caused by the hair follicles adjusting. These usually disappear within 24-48 hours. Avoid scratching or picking at the area, as this can cause ingrown hairs.
