Waxing may cause temporary redness but typically less daily irritation than shaving. Our gentle wax and technique reduce rubbing and ingrown hairs; apply post-care soothing products and avoid deodorant for 24 hours to minimize sensitivity.

Aim for about a quarter-inch of regrowth (roughly the length of a grain of rice) so wax can grip hairs. Too-short hair may require waiting; overly long hair can increase discomfort and will be trimmed before waxing.

Some brief stinging is normal, especially on first waxing; most clients find discomfort manageable. Exfoliate 24-48 hours prior, avoid caffeine before your appointment, and consider ibuprofen if needed. Our experienced estheticians use calming products to minimize pain.

Wait at least 24 hours before applying deodorant or antiperspirant to avoid irritation and clogged follicles. If necessary use a natural, alcohol-free product after 24 hours and monitor for redness; contact us if you experience prolonged irritation or reaction.

Yes, regular waxing can decrease ingrown hairs by removing hair from the root. Combine with gentle exfoliation and moisturizing to prevent bumps. Most clients schedule every 3–6 weeks depending on hair growth; we'll recommend timing based on your results.

Avoid waxing if you have sunburn, open cuts, active rashes, severe acne, or recent chemical peels. Certain medications and medical conditions increase sensitivity; disclose blood thinners or retinoid use. Our estheticians perform a consultation to ensure safe treatment.
