Waxing FAQ

For best results do not trim or shave the area for 3 weeks. Hair growth that is any less than 2 weeks will most likely be too short for the wax to even pick up. The hair should be about the length of an eyelash or a grain of rice. No need to trim, we will do that if it’s needed!e

The worst part of waxing is the anticipation. Almost every single first timer says “It wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be”, so try to stay relaxed and not worry! Take 2 ibuprofen an hour before your appointment. The following may cause you to be more sensitive and should be avoided before your appointment if possible; caffeine, smoking, sugar, stress (this is actually a big one). Keep in mind that discomfort during waxing feels significantly easier and your service will be quicker when you stay on a regular schedule of every 5 weeks.
