Waxing
1. How long do I need to grow my hair out before waxing?
For best results, allow your hair to grow for 10 days to 2 weeks before your appointment. Hair should be at least ¼ inch long, although closer to ½ inch can help the wax grip the hair more effectively.
2. How long does waxing last?
Everyone's hair growth cycle is different, but waxing typically lasts a couple of weeks. Most clients are ready for their next waxing appointment around 4 weeks after their previous service.
3. Does waxing hurt?
Waxing can cause some temporary discomfort, especially if you're new to waxing or haven't waxed in a while. The discomfort is usually brief and fades quickly.
4. Can I wax while I'm on my menstrual cycle?
Yes. You can wax during your menstrual cycle, although your skin may be more sensitive during this time and the service may feel more uncomfortable.
For bikini or Brazilian waxing, please wear a tampon or menstrual cup during your appointment.
5. How should I care for my skin after waxing?
For the first 24–48 hours, keep the waxed area clean and dry and avoid friction or excessive touching.
Avoid activities that cause heat, sweating, or friction, including:
Working out
Swimming
Sexual activity
Hot tubs
Saunas
Hot baths or showers
Wear loose, comfortable clothing when possible.
After a couple of days, you can begin gently exfoliating the waxed area a few times per week to help keep the skin smooth and reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs.
6. How can I prevent ingrown hairs?
Regular, gentle exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and keep the area clear as your hair grows back.
I also carry several professional skincare products designed to help improve the appearance of ingrown hairs and help prevent future breakouts. If you're prone to ingrown hairs, I can recommend products based on your skin and the area being waxed.
7. What is your cancellation and product return policy?
Please provide at least 24 hours' notice when cancelling or rescheduling an appointment. This gives me an opportunity to offer the appointment time to another client.
I understand that unexpected things happen, so I allow one same-day cancellation without a fee. Repeated same-day cancellations may require a credit card to be kept on file when booking future appointments.
Clients who no-show without contacting the studio will be required to provide a credit card for future bookings and may be charged the full price of the services scheduled.
Product returns: Products may be returned within 7 days of purchase for a credit that can be applied toward services or other products.
