Frequently Asked Questions – Waxing
1. What is waxing?
Waxing is a hair removal method where warm or cold wax is applied to the skin and removed, pulling hair out from the root. This leaves your skin smooth and hair-free for weeks.
2. How long do the results last?
Most clients enjoy smooth skin for 3–6 weeks, depending on hair growth cycle and the area treated.
3. Does waxing hurt?
Some discomfort is normal, especially for first-timers, but the sensation usually lessens with regular waxing. Our therapists use gentle techniques and quality wax to make the process as comfortable as possible.
4. How should I prepare before my waxing session?
-
Let your hair grow at least 1/4 inch (about 6mm) for best results.
-
Exfoliate the day before to remove dead skin.
-
Avoid lotions or oils on the day of your appointment.
5. Can I do waxing during menstruation?
Yes, it’s possible, but the skin may be more sensitive. We recommend booking after your period for bikini or Brazilian treatments for maximum comfort.
6. Can pregnant or breastfeeding women do waxing?
Yes, waxing is generally safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but some women may experience increased sensitivity.
7. Will my hair grow back thicker or darker?
No. Waxing may actually make regrowth finer and softer over time.
8. Are there any side effects?
Temporary redness, small bumps, or mild sensitivity are common and usually fade within a few hours. Following aftercare instructions helps prevent irritation.
9. How often should I wax?
Most clients come in every 4–6 weeks to maintain smooth, hair-free skin.

-
Face (upper lip, chin, eyebrows)

Arms & underarms
-
Legs & thighs

11. Is waxing allowed in Islam?
