Most clients enjoy smooth skin for three to six weeks, depending on hair growth cycles, area waxed, and individual hormones. Regular waxing can slow regrowth and make hair finer over time. Touch-ups can be scheduled every 4–6 weeks.

Yes — our estheticians assess skin sensitivity and use gentle waxes, techniques, and pre-treatment protocols. Patch tests are available, and we recommend avoiding exfoliants or retinoids before appointments. Post-care reduces irritation and promotes quick recovery.

Allow hair to be about one-quarter inch long, avoid sun exposure and self-tanning three days prior, and skip heavy exfoliation or topical actives 48 hours before. Clean, dry skin helps the wax adhere and improves comfort and results.

Waxing can feel uncomfortable, especially the first time, but it’s brief and becomes less painful with regular sessions. Pain is generally less than expected, and our techniques, numbing gels, and calming aftercare minimize discomfort for a better experience.

Yes, many pregnant clients safely receive waxing. We recommend avoiding waxing during advanced stages if you’re uncomfortable lying on your stomach, and inform us of pregnancy so we can adapt techniques and products. Avoid hot tubs or saunas immediately after waxing.

Exfoliate gently two to three times weekly after 48 hours, moisturize with non-comedogenic lotions, avoid tight clothing for 24–48 hours, and consider salicylic or glycolic products if prone to ingrowns. Book regular maintenance waxing to reduce incidence over time.
