Why should I wax?

Waxing reduces how often you need to trim, shave or tweeze.  It is ideal for people who have sensitivities to shaving or ingrown hairs.  Over time, the hair and hair follicle weakens and the amount of hair grows back is finer and much less.  

Does hair length matter? 

Yes. We advise that your hair is 1/4 inch-1/2 inch long prior to your appointment to get the best waxing results.  Also, make sure to exfoliate before your appointment and if you're new to Brazilians or bikini waxes, taking an anti-inflammatory 30 minutes to an hour before your appointment helps with discomfort and inflammation. 

When should I book an appointment? 

When your hair is 1/4-1/2 inch long.  Waiting a few days to a week after your menstrual cycle so your skin is not as sensitive.  3-6 weeks after your last waxing service is usually a great time to rebook.  Waxing consistently becomes less painful, hair becomes finer and grows back less.  

What if I am using Retin A, Accutane or a prescription product? 

Please let your therapist know if you are currently using any retinol, prescriptions, or exfoliating products.  This could cause your skin to rip or tear and no one wants that.  It depends on how recently or often you use these products.  

If you have any further waxing questions, please feel free to call (808) 895-4739.
