FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ✦
-
I recommend at least 2-3 weeks of growth after shaving. And don’t worry about being “too hairy”. I’d always rather have more hair to work with than hair that’s too short!
-
Nope! It’s easy to accidentally trim too short. If anything needs trimming, I can take care of it during your appointment.
-
Most body waxing appointments are best scheduled every 4 weeks. Staying consistent gives you the best results, so try not to shave between appointments!
-
Come with clean, dry skin and skip lotions or oils on the area that day. Make sure you have enough hair growth, don’t trim beforehand, and wear something comfortable afterward when possible.
-
Everyone’s sensitivity is different, but your first wax is usually the most uncomfortable. Most clients find it much more manageable than they expected, and staying consistent tends to make waxing easier over time.
-
Absolutely! For Brazilian and bikini services, you’ll just need to wear a tampon or menstrual cup. You may be a little more sensitive during your period, but otherwise you’re good to go.
-
Yes! Just let me know you’re pregnant so I can keep you as comfortable as possible. Pregnancy can make your skin more sensitive, so your wax may feel a little more intense than usual.
-
Yes. Retinoids, Accutane/isotretinoin, exfoliating acids, certain acne treatments and recent chemical peels can affect how your skin reacts to waxing. When in doubt, let me know what you’re using before your appointment.
-
Hair grows in different stages, some hairs may be too short for the wax to grab, especially if you’ve recently been shaving. Consistent waxing helps give you smoother, longer-lasting results over time.
-
No! Waxing removes hair from the root rather than cutting it at the surface. With consistent waxing, many clients actually notice softer, finer or less dense regrowth over time.
-
Consistency with aftercare is key! Regular exfoliation and daily moisturizing help keep your skin smooth and prevent hairs from becoming trapped. I can also recommend products and a routine based on your skin.
-
SO normal! There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. I’ll walk you through everything, answer your questions and do my best to make you feel comfortable from start to finish!
