Results typically last three to six weeks depending on hair growth cycle, skin type, and aftercare. Regular exfoliation and avoiding oil-based products can extend smoothness. We recommend scheduling maintenance appointments every four to six weeks for consistent results.

Some sensitivity is normal, especially on first waxing, but our skilled technicians use gentle techniques and premium wax to minimize discomfort. The procedure is quick and often less irritating than repeated shaving. We offer post-wax care and can recommend numbing options if needed.

Arrive with clean, dry skin free of lotions or oils and hair at least 1/4 inch long for effective removal. Avoid sun exposure and retinoids 48 hours before. Light exfoliation a few days prior helps, but skip exfoliating on the appointment day.

Common temporary effects include redness, small bumps, and mild sensitivity that usually fade within 24 to 48 hours. Proper aftercare reduces risks of irritation and ingrown hairs. Contact us if severe swelling, prolonged redness, or signs of infection occur.

Yes — many clients with sensitive skin can be waxed safely. We perform a patch test when needed and use gentler waxes and techniques. Discuss allergies, medications, or skin treatments beforehand. Follow tailored aftercare to soothe skin and reduce irritation.

Avoid direct sun, tanning beds, hot tubs, and intense sweating for 24 to 48 hours after waxing to prevent irritation. Wait 48 hours before exfoliating or applying strong active ingredients. Moisturize with gentle, fragrance-free products to support healing.
