Question 1

What is waxing?

Accepted Answer

Waxing is simply a semi-permanent hair removal method. The technique removes hair from the root, and it takes 3 to 5 weeks for the new hair to grow. Unlike other hair removal techniques such as threading; waxing can be done on almost any part of the body including arms, legs, back, eyebrows, abdomen, face, bikini area and feet.

Question 2

How long should I wait after shaving to get a Brazilian Wax or a first wax in general?

Accepted Answer

If you have never waxed before and have a big event coming up, such as your wedding, a vacation with your partner, etc., we would not recommend getting your first ever wax a couple of days before you go. Plan ahead and try to get in at least two waxes before you leave. This way, the first wax, which will be the more uncomfortable one, is out of the way. After your second wax, the results will be better and you won’t be uncomfortable for your special event.

Question 3

What can I do to prepare for my wax?

Accepted Answer

We ask that you discreetly disclose any and all medical conditions you have before we wax you, especially any STDs. Please freshen up before your appointment. Although we always prep the skin with an antiseptic before we wax, we cannot apply wax to skin with any debris on it. We will provide you with intimate wipes before your appointment if needed. Also, avoid caffeine for 5 hours before getting waxed will greatly reduce sensitivity. Caffeine restricts the blood vessels so skin is not getting as much blood flow which increases sensitivity.

Question 4

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

There is some discomfort involved, however most women find it quite tolerable. Our estheticians work quickly and because of our unique technique the pain and the discomfort are greatly diminished.

Question 5

How long should I wait to get waxed after I shave?

Accepted Answer

3-4 weeks is recommended. It takes time to grow out each of the 3 cycles. If you come in prematurely you may not achieve a desirable result.

Question 6

How often should I wax?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking your appointment every 3 to 4 weeks.

Question 7

It is ok to shave between wax appointments?

Accepted Answer

Waxing slows down and reduces hair growth. Hair also grows much thinner thus making it easier to remove and less painful when waxed. Shaving just one time in between will negate all that is gained from waxing and can further irritate follicles which can cause ingrown hair. Therefore, we strongly advise against shaving in between appointments.

Question 8

How long will the results last?

Accepted Answer

If you have been shaving, there may be a transition period. It generally requires 2-3 consistent waxes to achieve optimal results which are: 3-4 weeks of hairlessness, softer hair, and less hair growing back. If you haven’t been shaving prior to getting waxed, these results may be obtained more quickly.

Question 9

Can I get waxed if I'm on my period?

Accepted Answer

If possible, avoid scheduling your appointment just before or during your menstrual cycle. We recommend this only because we tend to be most sensitive during this time.

Question 10

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

Our experienced estheticians move quickly. The Brazilian itself should take no longer than 15 to 20 minutes.

Question 11

Is waxing sanitary?

Accepted Answer

Yes! In concern for your health we never double dip our wax sticks. Never!

Question 12

Are there any topical creams or medications that I should avoid prior to my wax appointment?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Internal Medication such as Accutane and topicals that include Retin-A, Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Differin, Tazorac, Avage, Strivectin, Renova, ProActive, Avita and Benzoyl Peroxide. All of the above mentioned can enhance skin sensitivity that could lead to lifting of the skin when removing hair.

Question 13

Can I tan before or after I get waxed?

Accepted Answer

You should wait 3-5 days to get waxed after you have tanned. You should never get waxed if you are sunburned or even if your skin is pink. The very top layer of skin could pull off or “lift” which is painful and can result in scabbing. You should wait for 3 days after you have waxed to tan. Waxed skin is more photosensitive and is more susceptible to burning.

Question 14

Do I need an appointment to get waxed?

Accepted Answer

We do accept walk-ins, however we recommend scheduling your visit in advance in order to avoid an extended wait. Please be early or on time to avoid losing your appointment. If you’re unable to keep an appointment we appreciate calling within 24 hours prior if possible. If your service is 1/2 hour or longer we may request a credit card number to hold your appointment. You will not be charged unless you fail to cancel within 24 hours.
