Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Shoulders and Blades.

Most clients enjoy smooth results for 3–6 weeks, depending on individual hair growth cycles. Regular appointments can extend smoothness and reduce regrowth visibility. Factors like hormones, genetics, and exfoliation habits affect how quickly hair returns.

Waxing pulls hair from the root, so you may feel brief discomfort during removal. Our trained estheticians use quick, precise techniques, numbing options, and calming products to minimize pain and ensure a more comfortable experience for sensitive clients.

Arrive with at least 1/4-inch hair growth so the wax can grip effectively. Avoid heavy lotions, recent tanning, and exfoliation 24 hours prior. Clean, dry skin yields the best results and reduces the chance of irritation.

Aftercare includes applying a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer and avoiding hot baths, saunas, and direct sun for 24–48 hours. Wait 48 hours before exfoliating or using strong body treatments to prevent sensitivity and reduce irritation or ingrown hairs.

Yes — Shoulders and Blades waxing can be combined with back, chest, or eyebrow services for a streamlined appointment. Let us know during booking so we allocate enough time and tailor pricing or comfort measures to your combined treatment plan.

Contraindications include active sunburn, open wounds, recent chemical peels, or isotretinoin (Accutane) use within the past 6–12 months. Inform your esthetician about medications or skin conditions so we can assess safety and recommend alternatives if needed.
