Appointments usually last 20 to 30 minutes depending on hair amount and consultation. We include pre-wax cleansing and post-wax soothing. Arrive with hair roughly a quarter-inch long for best results; very short or long hair may affect timing.

You may feel brief stinging as hair is removed, but discomfort is short-lived. We use gentle techniques and calming products to minimize pain. Exfoliate lightly between sessions, avoid caffeine before your visit, and consider a mild pain reliever if concerned.

Most clients enjoy smooth skin for two to six weeks; regrowth timing varies by individual, hormones, and hair type. With regular waxing, hair often returns finer and sparser, extending smooth periods and making maintenance easier over time.

We avoid waxing on sunburned, broken, or severely irritated skin. For sensitive skin we recommend a patch test and gentle wax formulas. Share any skin conditions or medications with your technician so we can advise the safest approach.

Clean, dry skin with hair about 1/4 inch long is ideal. Avoid heavy moisturizers, retinol, tanning, or exfoliation 24 to 48 hours prior. Wear comfortable clothing for easy access and consider a light pain reliever if you’re nervous.

Avoid sun exposure, hot baths, intense workouts, and heavy exfoliation for 24 to 48 hours. Apply soothing aloe or recommended post-wax products and keep the area clean. Contact us if irritation persists or for personalized aftercare guidance.
