Typically results last three to six weeks depending on individual hair growth cycles and hormones. With regular waxing, regrowth often becomes finer. Scheduling appointments every four to six weeks helps maintain consistent smoothness and optimal appearance.

Some mild discomfort is normal, but skilled technicians work quickly and use calming products to reduce pain. Avoid caffeine before your visit, consider topical numbing for sensitivity, and follow our pre- and post-care tips for comfort.

Ensure hair is about a quarter-inch long and skin is clean, dry, and free of lotions or oils. Avoid recent heavy exfoliation, sunburn, or retinoid use 48–72 hours prior. Wear comfortable clothing to avoid post-wax friction.

You may experience mild redness, sensitivity, or tiny bumps for a few hours after waxing. These typically subside quickly. Proper aftercare like gentle moisturizing and avoiding sun exposure helps; contact us if irritation persists or worsens.

Many clients with sensitive skin can be waxed, but disclose medications such as retinoids, blood thinners, or acne treatments. We may perform a patch test or suggest alternatives to prevent adverse reactions and ensure safety.

Avoid hot baths, intense exercise, and sun exposure for 24–48 hours. Apply gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers or aloe to soothe skin. Light exfoliation after 48–72 hours helps prevent ingrown hairs; follow any personalized aftercare from your technician.
