Before Your Appointment
How long should my hair be for waxing?
For best results, hair should be ¼-inch to ½-inch long (about the length of a grain of rice). Coarse hair may need to be closer to ½-inch for the first few sessions. If your hair is too long, you may want to shave the area and book your appointment for 2–3 weeks later. Avoid shaving between waxing sessions, as it disrupts the hair growth cycle and may require up to three treatments for smooth results.
How often should I get waxed?
Every 4 weeks is ideal. Regular waxing reduces skin sensitivity and weakens hair follicles over time, leading to finer, sparser hair growth. Consistent appointments also minimize discomfort and improve results.
How should I prepare for my waxing appointment?
To ensure a successful session:
Can I shave between waxing appointments?
No, shaving disrupts the hair growth cycle, leading to coarser regrowth and less effective waxing. Stick to waxing every 4 weeks for best results.
Is there an age limit for waxing?
We wax clients of all ages! For those under 18, a parent must accompany you to sign a consent form. Brazilian waxes require clients to be 18 or older.
During Your Appointment
What is a Brazilian wax?
A Brazilian wax removes all pubic hair (front and back) using wax. You may choose to leave a small strip or shape if desired.
After Your Appointment
What should I expect after my first waxing?
You’ll enjoy smooth, hairless skin! Temporary redness or minor irritation may occur for 1–2 days. Some clients experience slight itchiness as hair regrows. Proper aftercare (see below) minimizes these effects.
Will I get ingrown hairs?
Ingrown hairs are possible but preventable. Waxing removes hair from the root, and skin may thicken over the waxed area. To reduce the risk:
How can I prevent ingrown hairs?
For 24–48 hours post-wax, avoid:
After 48 hours, exfoliate regularly with a gentle shower gel and exfoliating glove. Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen to waxed areas to protect sensitive skin.
How does waxing benefit me?
Waxing offers long-lasting smoothness compared to shaving. When done every 4 weeks, it:
Will waxing make my hair grow back thicker or darker?
No! Waxing removes hair from the root, resulting in finer, sparser regrowth. Unlike shaving, which cuts hair at its thickest point, waxing doesn’t cause stubble or stimulate new follicles. Only hormones (natural or artificial) can increase hair growth.
