Waxing Q & A's
If you grow it, we can remove it!
Our trained and qualified aestheticians wax all body areas except men's Brazilian.
How long do I need to wait go get waxed after I shave?
We recommend 14 days of hair growth in the area you wish to have waxed. The hair must be 1/4 inch long, which is the width of a pencil eraser. If hair is too short, waxing
WILL NOT be effective and will possibly be considerably more painful.
What should I do to prepare for my waxing?
There are a few things that you can do to prepare. We have found that exfoliation of the skin helps loosen and remove dead skin, making it easier to remove the hair, as well as offering you a "cleaner" wax. The Spa has a pre-wax kit available, which includes an exfoliator and "No Scream Cream". This cream is designed to offer numbing when applied 30 minutes prior to your waxing. Some clients have shared that taking ibuprofen approximately 30 minutes before their appointment time can also help with reducing pain.
What should I expect after my wax?
We recommend you take it easy after your wax. Some experience tenderness, some don't. Everyone is different! If you are having a bikini or leg wax, we suggest not wearing tight fitting pants after, and try to avoid exposure to the sun and hot water. “MediCream” is a wonderful product that we sell which can help heal the skin after waxing and also helps to prevent ingrown hair, razor rash, and post-wax skin irritation.
Before your appointment:
We recommend freshening yourself prior to your appointment and taking time to relax. Being anxious or nervous about your waxing appointment may contribute to higher levels of discomfort. If at any time during your wax you are too uncomfortable to continue, please advise your technician. The technician is unaware of your discomfort unless you speak up, but do keep in mind, the results surpass any amount of discomfort.
Why wax rather than shave?
