Yes and no. Waxing requires removing the entire hair follicle so you will feel some  discomfort and discomfort levels vary.  There are two reasons for this:

• We are removing a lot of coarse hair during the first visit – especially if you’ve been shaving. With repeat visits (including your very next visit), discomfort from waxing is greatly diminished.
• It is shocking to have all of your hair pulled out by the root. During return visits, there will be less hair to remove, thus less pain.

To sum it up, yes, your first waxing treatment will have some discomfort. In the future, for minimum discomfort and to ensure speedy visits, come in for waxing treatments every 4 weeks.

Please stop tweezing and/or shaving 2.5 to 3 weeks prior to your first treatment! Exfoliate with a dry brush.

Your hair should be 1/2 to a 1/4 inch long, or 3-4 weeks of outgrowth after your last shave.Yeahhh, We can hear the moans now, but yes, 3 weeks. Do it! you won’t regret it. If you come in too soon we can’t wax you.  A good rule of thumb to remember is if you can EASILY pinch the hair, you’re ready!

Yes. Home care is amustto ensure the best results. Start your home care 48hrs after receiving your waxing treatment, even if irritation is present. Before that (i.e directly after your treatment and then for at least 12 hours) refrain from using the sauna, deodorant and from tanning. We encourage you to discontinue tweezing, shaving or using any other method of hair removal during your wax life.

We wish we could stimulate hair growth! Only hormonal changes – either natural or artificial – can alter our hair. When we experience puberty and our hair changes, we begin to shave and we liken the hair change as the result of the shaving. Shaving blunt cuts our hair and thus leaves a stubble. Waxing pulls the hair out by the root so when it regrows, it is very fine at the tip. With waxing, new hair growth is soft.

Most people get waxed every 4 weeks with great success. Please keep in mind that It is important to have3 weeks of outgrowthbefore your initial waxing to have maximum hair removal. More times than not, the hair on your bikini, underarms, brows, and upper lip will have a quicker response rate to waxing. Your legs, however, will likely not be as smooth after your first visit. You’ll not be able to see the hair but you will feel it. Do not be discouraged, with each wax your hair will get softer and softer.

Please note that hair grows in 3 stages, so you’ll need 3 waxing services, 4 weeks apart to have your wax stay beautifully smooth all the time.

Yes, possibly. The upper lip, back and chest are all areas that are prone to breakouts. If you have a tendency towards ingrown hairs and irritation from shaving, you are more likely to have the same reactions waxing, although dramatically decreased. To minimize skin reactions, you MUST use proper home care and come to get waxed on a regular schedule. All-in-all, come in like clockwork, every 4 weeks on the dot, exfoliate your skin and moisturize. This will help set you up for waxing success!

No! Wax in general is antibacterial, simply because there is zero water in the product. In order for bacteria to grow, some amount of water must be present. We practice smart, clean waxing and take universal precautions.  We use gloves, disposable sticks, clean & prep the skin prior to hair removal, disinfect our tools and more. 

Waxing is a form of hair removal that removes the entire hair from the hair follicle. Unlike shaving, Nair or clippers, which blunty cut the hair at the surface. Warm wax is applied to the skin and “shrink wraps” around the hair follicle allowing the hair to be pulled from the root. Because the entire hair is removed, skin is left very smooth and outlasts any other form of hair removal.

We suggest wearing loose clothing. The skin is usually sensitive post waxing service and you won’t want to wear anything that rubs. You will not leave in discomfort perse, but expect the waxed area to be sensitive.

DO NOT GET EXTREMELY SWEATY. NO WORKING OUT, SAUNA, SUN, SEX, ETC., FOR ROUGHLY FOR 12-24 HOURS.

Come in for a wax every 4 weeks. We do experience different growth rates but on average, the 4-week mark is the best time. This timing is based on the 3 stages of hair growth.

Please note: The moment you shave or use Nair, you become a virgin wax again. Your third-time’s-a-charm waxing cycle restarts and you must wait until your third wax for the perfect waxing experience. Patience is key!

Only the best, for sensitive areas, we use hard wax and for bigger areas, a low-burning cream strip wax is used.

 A Brazilian wax is the complete removal of hair, front and back. You decide if you want to go completely bare or would like to keep a small landing strip or triangle of hair. The Brazilian alone (without any added waxing service) should take no longer than 15-30 min.

During a Manzilian wax, we remove all of the hair from the male bikini area, the scrotum, and the butt crack. The Manzilian does not include the glutes, but will happily add that to your service if you wish!

You will only need to undress from the waist down (including your underwear).  It’s just a body part to us..

YUP!

Prior to your initial service, you will complete an intake consult form. Please advise your esthetician of any medical or skin conditions and also if you are taking any medications prescribed by a doctor such as Retin-A or Accutane. Users of Retin-A, Renova, Differin or Accutane are advised not to use waxing on the face as these medications tend to weaken the skin. Because of this, tearing of the skin may occur when the wax is removed.

Yes! Please do not cancel your appointment if you have your menstrual cycle. Just insert a tampon and you’re good to go.

Awesome. We can work around your piercing if you aren’t able to remove it. 

Yes, hair will continue to grow.  Every 4 weeks is desired.

Come as you are....Bare!

Be gentle with your skin and wait to wear make up for at least 48hrs.

No, it's best to avoid heat, sweat, and the sun for at least 48hrs.
