1. How Long Do I Need M y Hair to Grow Before Waxing?
For the wax to grip onto the hair for effective removal, it is recommended that the hair be at least a quarter of an inch long. For most people, this is about three to four weeks of hair growth. If you arrive at the appointment with hair too short to be waxed effectively, you may be rescheduled for a later date.
2. Should I Shower Before My Waxing?
Skin should be dirt and oil free before the service, so a shower the morning of your waxing appointment is recommended. Cleaner skin means that it will be easier for the wax to attach to the hair for effective removal.
3. How Much Does a Waxing Service Hurt?
Our waxing specialists make clients as comfortable as possible before, during, and after their treatments. How much the process hurts can vary from person to person. Many say that the process is easier after the first time. Our specialists make sure that waxing services are completed quickly with as little pain as possible.
4. What Will Happen During My Waxing Treatment?
First, the waxing specialist will clean your skin to remove oil and dirt. During the treatment, only the areas being waxed will be exposed. Next, the wax will be applied and removed. Our waxing specialists will keep all tools sanitized and never “double dip” during your treatment. At the end, moisturizing products may be applied for post-waxing use.
5. In What Conditions Should I Not Have Waxing Done?
Those taking Retin-A in the last eight weeks, or those who have taken Accutane in the last year, are not eligible for waxing. Individuals with bad sunburn or injured skin cannot be waxed safely. Anyone taking medications that thin the skin or make it bruise easily should not be waxed either.
6. Why Choose Waxing Over Shaving?
The process of shaving is a trimming of the hair on the surface of the skin. This trim only lasts days, which is why areas that are constantly shaved are often irritated. Waxing removes hair by the roots, which lasts much longer. Up to six weeks without regrowth is common on body areas such as the arms and legs. Waxing removes hair in a quick and convenient way, lasts longer, and hair grows back softer.
7. What Hair is Removed During a Brazilian Wax?
A Brazilian wax removes all hair in the pubic area, from the front and sides to everything between. Butt waxing is also available for an additional charge. For women, Brazilian waxing may technically be done during menstruation, but skin may be extra sensitive, so it is not recommended.
8. Is it Good to Shave Between Waxing Appointments?
It is not recommended to shave between waxing because it makes hair removal more difficult during your next appointment. Shaving also blunts the tips of the hairs, making them more brittle and irritating between waxing services.
9. How Long Will I Be Hair-Free After My Wax?
Hair growth is determined by hormone levels and genetics, so regrowth after waxing varies from person to person. Most people remain hair free, or mostly hair free, for at least four weeks after their waxing treatment.
