Waxing is a hair removal method that involves applying warm wax to the skin, adhering to the hair, and then quickly removing it pulling the hair from the root.
Does waxing hurt?
While everyones pain tolerance varies, we strive to make the experience as comfortable as possible. We use high-quality waxes and techniques to minimize discomfort.
How long should my hair be before waxing?
For optimal results, hair should be at least 1/4 inch long ( about the length of a grain of rice) to ensure the wax can effectively grip and remove the hair.
How often should I get waxed?
Waxing typically last 3-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycles. We recommend scheduling maintennce waxes every 4-5 weeks.
Can I still wax during my menstrual cycle?
Yes, you can! Though it can be more sensative, you can still get a brazilian wax while on your menstural cycle with the use of a tampon or a menstural cup. Please let your waxing professional know so they can take neseccsary precautions.
What should I avoid after waxing?
Avoid touching the waxed area, sun exposure/tanning beds, hot showers/baths, tight clothing, sweating and workouts, swimming, and any friction induced activities including intercourse for 24 hours after your wax.
What is waxing aftercare?
Waxing aftercare is essential for improving your next wax. Two main factors in waxing aftercare are exfoliation and hydration of the skin. Exfoliation clears the pores of debris and lifts newly grown hair above the surface of the skin. Keeping the skin exfoliated and hydrated allows the hair a clear path to grow with little resistance, reducing ingrown hairs.
Gently exfoliate 2-3 times per week, 2-3 days after your wax. Follow exfoliation with an enriching and nourishing skin hydrator that does not irritate your skin, i.e. an oil.
Remember, rough and excessive exfoliation can damage your skin.
