Typically results last three to six weeks depending on individual hair growth cycles and care. With consistent waxing hair often regrows finer and sparser. Avoid shaving between sessions and follow aftercare instructions to maintain smoothness.

You may feel a brief stinging sensation during hair removal, but most clients describe discomfort as mild and short-lived. Our technicians use warm wax and soothing techniques to minimize pain; numbing options are available on request.

If you have active eczema, open sores, or sunburn we recommend postponing waxing until the skin is healed. For generally sensitive skin we perform a patch test and use hypoallergenic waxes and calming aftercare to reduce irritation.

Gently exfoliate 48 hours before your appointment and avoid applying moisturizers on the day. Ensure hair is about a quarter inch long and arrive with clean, dry skin so the wax adheres properly and yields the best results.

Avoid hot baths, heavy exercise, and direct sun exposure for 24 hours. Apply a calming lotion or aloe vera, keep the area clean, and exfoliate after 48–72 hours to prevent ingrown hairs and maintain smoothness.

Most clients schedule every three to six weeks depending on their growth rate. As you continue waxing regularly, hair typically grows back finer and you may be able to extend the time between appointments.
