FAQ's

1. Does waxing hurt?

Well, it really depends on who you ask! Some people find it painful, while others say that they hardly notice. It really comes down to personal pain tolerances, your genetics for hair depth and thickness, and how often you get the waxing done. Generally, the first one or two appointments are the most noticeable, but after that it gets less noticeable as your skin and follicles adapt

2. How long will the results last?

This will depend on the rate of hair growth, which differs greatly for everyone. In addition, the longer you have regularly waxed, the slower your body will replace it (and the smaller and finer it will be), so that affects the frequency of appointments as well. For most people 4-8 weeks is a typical time frame between waxings.

After being waxed, you may notice some hairs grow back more quickly than others and this is because of the hair growth stage they were in when you were waxed – e.g., there may have been a baby hair just under the surface of the skin which cannot be removed until it emerges. In instances like that, those new hairs can show up earlier than the majority that were pulled out. Generally, you may notice some very fine hair growth within the first week, but it will take longer for any major growth to occur.

3. How can I prepare my skin for the waxing?

You are not required to shower immediately before your visit, but if you do, make sure you aren’t scrubbing too hard on your skin – if it’s already irritated before you arrive, the waxing will irritate your skin. Hold off on any exfoliants for a few days prior as well, but as far as moisturizer goes, you can follow your normal routine. The main thing to remember is to not irritate your skin for a couple days before or after your waxing appointment.

4. What should I expect afterwards?

Due to increased stimulation, your skin may look red, but that will soon disappear. It will feel incredibly smooth – you’ll be tempted to touch it! – but try not to do so, because your fingertips will push oils and bacteria into open follicles and cause breakouts.

As the hair starts to grow back, you may experience some bumps or ingrown hairs (often caused by plugged follicles and excess oil in the follicles), so keep your skin clean and do very gentle exfoliation to help the hairs grow out.

5. How long should my hair be?

For an ideal experience, your hair should be just over half a centimeter in length when you come in for your waxing appointment. This gives enough hair for the wax to adhere to so that it can be removed. If the hair is too short, the wax will not have enough surface area to grab and will result in the hair breaking off instead of being removed from the root – meaning you’ll have to wait for it to grow out before you can try again. If, on the other hand, the hair is too long (over 1.25 cm), it starts to layer on top of other hairs below it, and the wax will be unable to get proper coverage on the surface area. This results in missed and broken hairs. Additionally, strip wax can only be applied once (to avoid damage to the skin), so any missed hairs will need to be plucked to make the area hairless. If need be, trim your hair before your waxing appointment – it makes our job, and your experience, much easier!

6. I have an appointment for a brazilian wax but I started my monthly cycle, can I keep my appointment?

Yes, as long as your bleeding is not too heavy, you are clean and have a fresh tampon in you can still come in for your appointment. No judgement! Be advised that pain tolerance is typically lower during your monthly cycle

7. Can I tan the same day?

It is best to avoid anything that will irritate your skin 24 hours before and after waxing but if you MUST tan the same day it is better to do it after your wax appointment
