Most clients describe brief, manageable discomfort rather than severe pain. Sensitivity varies with personal tolerance and hair thickness. Our estheticians use quick technique, warm wax, and calming aftercare to reduce discomfort. Take over-the-counter pain relief beforehand if you usually need it.

Typically results last three to six weeks depending on your hair growth cycle and lifestyle. Regular waxing often leads to finer, sparser regrowth over time. Touch-up appointments every 4–6 weeks maintain smoothness and deliver the best long-term outcome.

Arrive with hair roughly a quarter-inch long (about two weeks of growth). Gently exfoliate 24–48 hours before to reduce ingrown hairs, avoid heavy creams or tanning the day of, and skip blood-thinning medications unless cleared by your doctor.

Yes — we accommodate sensitive or dry skin with gentle formulas, lower-temperature wax, and modified technique. A patch test can be done for first-timers, and our estheticians apply soothing oils and aftercare to minimize irritation and hydrate the skin.

Aftercare includes avoiding hot baths, saunas, and direct sun for 24–48 hours, wearing loose clothing, and exfoliating gently after 48 hours to prevent ingrowns. Apply a calming moisturizer or aloe gel as recommended; contact us if you notice prolonged redness or irritation.

We recommend about a quarter-inch (around 5–7 mm) of natural hair growth for effective waxing. Too short hair won't grip the wax; overly long hair may be trimmed for comfort. If unsure, our estheticians will assess and advise at your appointment.
