We recommend hair to be at least 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch for best results. If you have coarse hair it should be closer to 1/2-inch for the first few waxes. Once the hair becomes finer it can be waxed at a shorter length.
It may take up to three waxing treatments to achieve smooth skin due to the fact that hair grows in stages and all of your hair is never at the same stage. It is very important to avoid shaving between waxing appointments, as this will interrupt the process. -
Regular waxing is essential. The skin will be less sensitive if waxing is performed every 4 weeks. With regular waxing the hair follicle will have less grip on the hair to be pulled, and the hair will come out more easily.

Refrain from taking a shower or bath immediately before waxing. Soaking the hair will soften it, which could make waxing less effective. We do ask the areas to be waxed to be clean.
Certain medications and products could cause increased irritation or other complications. Please check with your doctor if you are unsure whether you should be waxed on on or using a medication.

Everyone’s skin reacts differently to waxing treatments. You could experience temporary redness and/or minor irritation for a day or two. Slight itchiness is also possible as the hair grows out. Post-wax care will be discussed and will help alleviate these symptoms.
Try to wear loose fitting clothes for a few days to give your skin a chance to breathe and reduce moisture. Try to avoid heavy exercise or any activities that will increase perspiration and chaffing for 24-48 hours after waxing.

No, please do not shave between waxing appointments. It will disrupt the hair growth cycle, which could result in more hair at your next appointment.

Possibly. Waxing will remove the entire hair, root and all, from the follicle. It’s important to keep the area gently exfoliated. Use a gentle scrub in that area 2 days after waxing, and continue exfoliation for 1 to 2 times a week .
