Most clients enjoy smoothness for three to six weeks depending on hair growth rate and skin type. Regular waxing every four to six weeks maintains results, reduces regrowth, and can make hairs finer over time. Avoid shaving between sessions.

Waxing causes brief discomfort, but experienced estheticians use quick, precise technique to minimize pain. Applying pressure, breathing, and using soothing pre- and post-care products reduces sensitivity. Consider avoiding caffeine and scheduling around your menstrual cycle if you are particularly sensitive.

Trim or let hair grow to about 1/4 inch for best results; avoid heavy moisturizers the day of your appointment. Exfoliate gently 48 hours before and avoid sun exposure to reduce irritation. Arrive with clean, dry skin for a smoother service.

If you have sensitive skin or conditions, book a consultation first. We perform patch tests, recommend gentler waxes, and may advise against waxing over inflamed, broken, or medicated skin. Full disclosure of medications and allergies helps us keep you safe.

Avoid hot baths, saunas, and vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours after waxing. Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer and exfoliate lightly after 48 hours to prevent ingrown hairs. Wear loose clothing and use sunscreen if exposed to sunlight.

You can shave anytime, but shaving immediately removes smooth results and interrupts waxing benefits. If you plan to continue waxing, wait until hair regrows to about 1/4 inch for optimal removal. Otherwise, shaving after a day or two is acceptable.
