Most clients enjoy smoothness for three to six weeks depending on hair growth cycle and individual factors. Regular maintenance appointments can prolong results and gradually reduce hair density over time. We recommend scheduling every four to five weeks for consistent upkeep.

You may feel a brief stinging sensation during removal, but pain is usually minimal and short-lived. Our estheticians use soothing wax formulas, proper technique, and skin calming treatments afterward. We can also apply numbing options on request for sensitive clients.

Avoid sun exposure, self-tanning, exfoliation, and heavy lotions 24–48 hours before waxing. Hair should be about a quarter-inch long for effective removal. Arrive clean and dry; we’ll assess skin and hair to customize the service for best results.

Certain conditions or medications (like retinoids, blood thinners) can increase risk of irritation. Disclose allergies, recent treatments, or medical history during booking. We’ll perform a patch test if needed and advise alternatives or defer waxing to ensure safety.

Apply gentle, fragrance-free soothing products and avoid hot baths, intense exercise, saunas, and direct sun for 24–48 hours. Exfoliate lightly after 3–4 days to prevent ingrown hairs and use SPF when exposed to sun to protect new skin.

Pregnancy often causes increased sensitivity; waxing is generally safe but should be discussed with your provider. Avoid treatments that compress the abdomen or cause discomfort later pregnancy. Postpartum, wait until healed and cleared by your doctor; we’ll tailor timing for safety and comfort.
