FAQS

What kind of waxing can I have done?

You can have anything waxed, from facial (no beards) to brazilian and bikini waxing, full legs, arms, and just about any body part that has hair, even the nostrils (no it doesn’t hurt.)

Is Brazilian waxing painful?

Some clients have described it as similar to pulling a band-aid off. It hurts for a second, but is quick and the pain leaves as fast as it comes. If you have had a bad waxing experience in the past, please remember that a skilled waxing professional with good technique and experience can make a huge difference. We constantly have people tell us that our experience shows, and that they felt much more comfortable as a result.

It is uncomfortable, but the most common feedback we receive is, “wow, that wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be and was totally worth it!”

What does a Brazilian Wax include?

A brazilian wax includes all hair removed front to back, however, you can customize this service to your liking. (Example- leave a landing strip, triangle, etc...)

What is the difference between a Brazilian and Bikini Wax?

A brazilian wax removes all hair front to back, a bikini wax removes hair from your bikini line only. (bikini wax does not include the labia or backside)

How long does hair need to be in order to be waxed?

Hair needs to be the length of a long grain of rice. Typically, 10-14 days of growth after shaving. (Longer hair is fine too)

How long can I expect to be smooth?

Everyone is different. We all have different hair growth cycles. Many clients experience smoothness for about 2 weeks, some less, some more. It takes about 3-4 consistent waxes to get hair on the same growth cycle which typically results in a longer period of smoothness. Hair will grow back SOFTER & FINER with each wax.

How often should I get waxed?

For best results we recommend coming in every 4-6 weeks. This allows hair to get on the same growth cycle & ensures hair is an appropriate length. It is also WAY less painful if you keep up with it and hurts less each time.

Is there any specific preparation I need to do before my appointment?

· It is best to wear loose, comfortable clothing to avoid friction immediately after wax.

· Please arrive 5 minutes early to fill out new client form/sign your form, use restroom, & enjoy a shot of liquid courage if desired 😉

· Trimming is not necessary, we will do this for you, however, if you feel more comfortable trimming it yourself, please be careful not to trim shorter than ½ inch.

· It is best to come in freshly showered, but we know this is not always feasible. We have wipes in our restroom so you may freshen up before your service.

· Exfoliating by using a washcloth or gentle scrub will loosen hair & make your wax easier.

· Limit caffeine for several hours prior to appointment.

· Clients who normally take Ibuprofen for pain may find this helpful 30 minutes prior to treatment. Taking antacids (Tums) prior to their appointment may help with skin redness and sensitivity.

· We sell PFB Numb It – which reduces discomfort in most clients. You will need to purchase and apply it 10-15 minutes prior to your appointment.

· Again, hair must be at least ¼- ½ inch long to be waxed.

How long will my skin be irritated/what if I break out?

Typically most irritation subsides within 24-48 hours. Breakouts can occur if the skin is not kept clean and dry following your wax appointment. To ensure the least risk of breakout, we recommend not applying any lotions, powders, or perfumes to the area, taking mild showers, and wearing loose clothing for a minimum of 24 hours. If irritation persists, you may apply PURE aloe vera gel (alcohol free) or a 1% hydrocortisone cream. Please feel free to call us if you have any concerns.
