Shower and exfoliate lightly the day before, avoid lotions or heavy oils, and ensure hair is at least quarter-inch long. Arrive wearing comfortable clothing and inform your esthetician about allergies or skin sensitivities for safe, effective waxing.

Some discomfort is normal, especially on coarse hair, but sensations are brief. Our technicians use soothing techniques, quality wax, and aftercare to minimize pain. Consider over-the-counter pain relief or topical numbing if you are anxious; results improve over time.

Most redness and sensitivity subside within 24 to 48 hours; full soothing can take up to a week. Avoid sun, hot baths, and heavy sweating for 48 hours. Use gentle moisturizers and exfoliate after five to seven days to prevent ingrown hairs.

Typically every four to six weeks depending on your hair growth and preference. Regular waxing weakens follicles, leading to finer regrowth and potentially longer intervals. Your technician will recommend a personalized schedule based on hair type and skin sensitivity.

We may postpone service if you have sunburn, open wounds, active skin infections, recent chemical peels, or are taking medications like isotretinoin. Always disclose medical conditions or recent treatments so we can ensure safe care or suggest alternatives.

Avoid hot showers, saunas, intense exercise, and tight clothing for twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Apply calming aloe or fragrance-free moisturizer, keep the area clean, and exfoliate gently after five to seven days to help prevent ingrown hairs.
