SLOWER, THINNER REGROWTH
Since you are waxing and it pulls from the root it takes the hair a lot longer to grow. So all you have to do is make your appointment every 3-4 weeks.

Because waxing removes hair from the root, the hair will take much longer to grow back than it will with other hair removal methods. When your hair does grow back after waxing, it will grow back weaker, making it finer and softer .

Preparing for your First wax
RELAX
The pain associated with waxing has more to do with anxiety and tension a person feels. The more relaxed you are, the less painful the experience will be.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE HAIRY ENOUGH
Before setting an appointment your hair should be at least a ¼ inch long (about the length of a grain of rice), to allow the wax to grab the hair. If it is your first time waxing, then we recommend you refrain from shaving for at least two weeks before your reservation. After your first wax, it is recommended to wax every 3-4 weeks.
MOISTURIZE & EXFOLIATE
Dry hair and dry skin make it easier for your hair to break when removed. To get the smoothest and long-lasting results, the skin and hair should be healthy and moisture-rich in-between waxing appointments .
TAKE A PAINKILLER
No, we don't mean tequila! We recommend you to take tylenol or advil two hours prior to waxing.
NUMBING CREAM
Products that contain lidocaine are helpful because they will temporarily numb the area and prevent pain.
DOS & DON’TS OF WAXING
DOS
DON'TS
DON'TS
- Take two Advil one 1/2 hour before your appointment. Better safe than sorry.
- Consult Mother Nature before booking your first waxing appointment. Schedule an initial waxing appointment several days after menstruation, when you are less sensitive to discomfort.
- Wear comfortable cotton panties to avoid irritation if it’s your first time.
- Limit caffeine intake on the day of your waxing service. Caffeine stimulates the nervous system which increases sensitivity.
- Inform your Wax Specialist of any medications you are taking, such as antibiotics, Accutane, or topical creams, such as Retin-A.
DON'TS
DON'TS
DON'TS
- DON'T exercise 24-48 hours after waxing.
- NEVER wax a new area for the first time right before a big event. You can't always anticipate your skin's reaction and you wouldn't want to spoil an important day.
- DON'T shave between waxing appointments. This makes the hair more resistant to future waxing.
- DON'T expose skin to sun or tanning beds for 24 hours after your wax.
- DON'T take a hot bath/shower for the first 24 hours. A shower with cool water is ok.
- DON'T apply moisturizer before any wax service.
- DON'T apply deodorant to newly waxed underarms.
- NEVER wax an area after using any type of peels
Aftercare
AFTER YOUR FIRST WAX
When jumping for joy after your first wax, it removes the majority of hair. Because hairs grow in different cycles, your next wax will remove the hairs that were still growing below the skin’s surface. After 3-4 sessions, all of your hairs should be growing in the same cycle, leaving you with longer lasting smooth skin.
EXFOLIATE AFTER WAXING
The best way to treat and prevent ingrown is to use a body scrub or serum. A body scrub is a popular body treatment that is basically a facial for the body. It exfoliates and hydrates your skin, leaving it smooth and soft. A body scrub is made with an abrasive material,usually sea salt or sugar mixed with massage and essential oils.

STUBBLE

STUBBLE
If you’ve just gotten waxed and you are noticing hairs growing rapidly, just know that hair grows in different cycles. It’s possible that the hairs just below the skin have reached the surface after your wax service, resulting in a stubbly feel. Keep moisturizing daily between services and don’t worry, allow these hairs to grow so we can remove them next time we see you.
FAQS
CAN I GET WAXED ON MY PERIOD?
Yes you can wax on your period. Just know that the area is more sensitive during this time and in order for us to complete the service, you will need to wear a fresh tampon before your appointment.
CAN I GET WAXED WHILE PREGNANT?
Yes you can still get waxed, you may experience discomfort due to hormonal changes but we will do our best to ensure you are most comfortable.
CAN I GET WAXED WITH A SUNBURN?
We will never perform a wax on sunburned or unhealthy skin.
WHAT IS WAXING ALL ABOUT?
The types of wax used are soft wax, hard wax, and sugar. Soft wax is applied and removed by using a cloth or strip. Hard wax is applied and allowed to cool down, once it has cooled down the wax becomes hard which is why a strip is not required. Sugar is applied when the esthetician warms the paste between their fingers and it is then applied and removed.
WHAT IS SUGARING?
Sugaring is a safe, natural alternative to waxing. Sugar paste for hair removal dates back as far as 1900 B.C. and was first discovered to have originated in Egypt. Sugaring is 100% natural. No chemicals. No preservatives. No irritants. It is simply made out of Sugar, Water and Lemon Juice. Which makes it ideal for sensitive skin. The sugar paste is a natural exfoliate that only adheres to dead skin cells and hair. Since the Sugar DOES NOT remove any live skin cells, any discomfort will subside much more quickly than with wax.
SUGARING VS WAXING
Both methods are very similar, but different techniques of applying and removing the wax, make all the difference. Many people perceive the sugaring technique as less painful, since only the hair is covered from the sugar paste and is not combined with the skin.
IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT ON WAX APPOINTMENTS?
Our policy requires guests under the age of 18 wanting a Brazilian/Bikini wax to have parental consent.
