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
-
Bikini & Brazilian
