Most clients see smooth results for three to six weeks depending on hair growth cycles and hormones. Regular waxing can reduce regrowth over time. We recommend appointments every four to six weeks to maintain a consistent, polished profile.

Some sensitivity is normal, especially for first-time waxes. Our technicians use quick techniques, professional waxes, and soothing pre- and post-care to minimize pain. Numbing cream on request or scheduling around hormonal sensitivity can also help.

Avoid exfoliating or using retinoids 48 hours before your service. Let hair be at least a quarter-inch long for best results. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin and communicate any skin sensitivities or medications to your technician.

Mild redness or tenderness is common for a few hours. Small bumps or ingrown hairs can occur but usually resolve quickly. Follow aftercare: avoid heat, heavy sweating, and harsh products for 24 to 48 hours, and use soothing aloe or antiseptic as needed.

Waxing removes hair from the root, which can make regrowth finer and slower, but it is not permanent. For permanent reduction consider professional treatments like laser hair removal; consult us to discuss suitability and combine services if desired.

Wait at least 12 to 24 hours before applying makeup or active skincare to the waxed area to prevent irritation. Use gentle, fragrance-free products and avoid chemical exfoliants. If redness persists, delay makeup and consult your technician for soothing options.
