Results usually last three to six weeks depending on your hair growth cycle, skin type, and aftercare. Regular waxing can slow regrowth and prolong smoothness. We recommend scheduling touch-ups every four to six weeks for consistent shaping and maintenance.

Most clients feel quick, manageable discomfort during hair removal, but pain is brief. We use pre-wax techniques, high-quality wax, and calming post-care to reduce irritation. Avoid caffeine and keep skin clean; topical numbing can be discussed for sensitive clients.

Waxing can occasionally contribute to ingrown hairs, especially with curly or coarse hair. We recommend exfoliating gently after 48 hours, using soothing serums, and following our aftercare to prevent bumps. If you frequently experience ingrowns, we can tailor treatments and product recommendations.

Cleanse the area and avoid heavy creams or oils on appointment day. Let hair be at least a quarter-inch long for best removal. Avoid sun exposure and exfoliate lightly 48 hours prior. Inform us of medications or recent skin treatments.

Clients using Retin-A, Accutane, or recent chemical peels should wait before waxing due to increased sensitivity. If you have active acne, broken skin, or certain medical conditions, consult our esthetician. We’ll assess risks and suggest suitable alternatives when necessary.

Avoid touching, makeup, and intense heat for 24 hours. Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer and calming serum as directed. Exfoliate lightly after 48–72 hours to prevent ingrowns. Contact us if you notice excessive redness, swelling, or prolonged irritation.
