Wax Services

Let your hair grow.
Hair should be approximately ¼ inch long so the wax can properly grip the hair. This is usually about 2–3 weeks of growth, depending on how quickly your hair grows. Avoid shaving between waxing appointments. to this item.

Gently exfoliate.
Gently exfoliate the area 24–48 hours before your appointment to help remove dead skin cells and reduce the chance of ingrown hairs. Avoid aggressive scrubs immediately before your appointment. 

Arrive with clean, dry skin.
Please arrive with the area being waxed clean and free of lotions, oils, body butter, or heavy products. This allows the wax to adhere properly.

Avoid tanning before waxing.
Please avoid UV tanning, spray tanning, and excessive sun exposure for at least 24–48 hours before your appointment. Waxing recently tanned or sunburned skin can cause irritation or skin lifting.

Skip harsh skincare products.
If you're receiving facial waxing, let your wax specialist know if you use retinol, prescription retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, or other exfoliating products. These products can make the skin more sensitive and may affect whether waxing is appropriate.

Tell us about medications.
Please let your wax specialist know about any medications or skincare treatments that may affect your skin's sensitivity. If you're unsure whether you can be waxed, please contact us before booking.

Wear comfortable clothing.

Try to avoid scheduling your appointment immediately before a workout, swimming, hot tub, or other activity that may cause excessive sweating or friction.

 Your skin may be slightly pink or sensitive immediately after waxing. This is normal and should settle fairly quickly.

For the first 24 hours, avoid:

• Hot tubs, saunas, and very hot showers
• Intense workouts or excessive sweating
• Swimming
• Direct sun exposure and tanning
• Tight clothing or excessive friction on the waxed area
• Fragranced lotions, sprays, or harsh skincare products on the area

After 24–48 hours, gentle exfoliation can be added to your routine to help prevent ingrown hairs. Continue moisturizing the area with a gentle, fragrance-free product.

 For the best long-term results, stay on a consistent waxing schedule rather than shaving between appointments. Regular waxing can help your hair grow back softer and more evenly over time.
