FAQ
Questions are a normal part of life.
We want to help answer any curiosities you may have.
Below are some common questions associated with the waxing experience.
Q: How do I prep for my upcoming appointment?
A: Make sure skin is clean and dry before appointment. It is recommended that the hair should be about 1/4th to 1/2 long. Any shorter and the hair may not be able to be fully removed or lead to possible breakage. Exfoliation is key! We recommend exfoliating 2-3 times a week for best results.
Q: Will this waxing work for my sensitive skin?
A: Yes! Waxing not only removes hair but exfoliates as well. Traditional waxes can stick and pull at skin causing a lot of unnecessary discomfort and pain; we use wax that only adheres to hair, this means NO UNNECESSARY DISCOMFORT OR PAIN!
Q: What do I do for aftercare?
A: The waxing process exfoliates the skin, because of this we want to avoid any activities that might irritate the delicate skin. Avoid taking hot showers, tanning, body scrubs, swimming, exercise and any activity that may cause the skin to sweat or further irritate. It's recommended to avoid activities like these for 24-48 hours for optimal results and no breakouts.
Q: Are breakouts/ingrowns normal?
A: Breakouts while waxing may occur. When we have a thick layer of dead skin cells it is harder for the hair to penetrate the skin. This will cause the hair to curl back into the skin, aka ingrowns! We must exfoliate especially while our hair is growing back to best combat this.
Q: How often should I really be waxing?
A: For best results every 4-6 weeks. This is so that we catch the hair in it's proper hair growth cycle. Anything too early may not fully be removed. Anything later may not be consistent enough for the hair to properly respond to the process,
Q: When will I start to see results? How long will my wax last?
A: Immediately! Traditional techniques like shaving cut off hair at the skins surface. This usually means you’ll Waxing pulls out hair from the follicle making the skin feel silky and smooth.
