THE SECRET TO SMOOTH SKIN
Many people have been shaving since before they had a reason to, but shaving unwanted hair only delivers instant results for a few hours. Hair roots remain under the skin, and in a day—or sometimes even hours—hair begins to grow back. Choosing a waxing hair removal service or sugaring for a specific area, and doing so consistently over time, can significantly reduce hair growth. This happens because the hair follicles in the treated area become damaged, resulting in thinner, weaker hair over time. Staying consistent with your waxing hair removal service and avoiding shaving between sessions will help you achieve the best long-term results.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is waxing ?
Waxing is a tried-and-true hair removal method that applies warm, skin-safe wax to unwanted hair and removes it from the root in one quick motion. By lifting hairs at the follicle, waxing delivers longer-lasting smoothness—typically 3–6 weeks—while regular treatments can lead to finer, sparser regrowth. Plus, it gently exfoliates the skin, leaving it soft, radiant, and ready for whatever comes next.
Does waxing hurt ?
Most clients feel a quick, sharp pinch when the wax strip is pulled, but the discomfort is usually brief and subsides immediately. Sensitivity varies by area and individual pain threshold, yet many find that regular sessions actually become more comfortable as hair regrowth thins. Our estheticians also use soothing techniques—like pre-treatment oils and post-wax calming balms—to minimize any redness or irritation.
Will my hair grow back thicker or darker ?
No, waxing removes the hair from the root without affecting the follicle’s structure, so regrowth won’t be thicker or darker. In fact, with consistent waxing, hairs often grow back finer and more sparse, leading to smoother results over time. Any slight coarseness you notice initially is just the natural taper of regrowing hair, not a change in its density.
How long will my hair take to grow back ?
Most clients see visible regrowth 3–6 weeks after waxing, as hair enters its natural growth cycle at different times. Factors like hormonal changes, genetics, and the treated area can affect this timeline, so some hairs may reappear sooner while others take longer. Regular waxing can help synchronize growth and often leads to finer, slower-regrowing hair over time.
Can I have waxing performed if I have sensitive skin ?
Absolutely ! waxing can be safely performed on sensitive skin when using gentle, low temperature waxes and expert techniques. Your esthetician will conduct a patch test, apply soothing prewax oils, and finish with calming balms or serums to minimize redness and irritation. With these customized measures, you can enjoy smooth, long-lasting results even on the most delicate skin.
What should I do to prepare for my waxing session ?
To ensure the best waxing results, arrive with clean, dry skin and hair that’s at least ¼" long (about the length of a grain of rice) so the wax can grip properly. In the 24–48 hours before your appointment, gently exfoliate the area and avoid sun exposure, tanning, or harsh skincare products like retinoids to minimize sensitivity. Finally, stay hydrated and wear loose, breathable clothing to keep the skin calm and comfortable post-treatment.
What should I avoid after my waxing session ?
After your waxing session, avoid hot baths, saunas, and steam rooms for at least 24–48 hours to prevent irritation and open-pore redness. Skip tight or abrasive clothing over the treated area, as well as vigorous exercise that causes heavy sweating, which can lead to breakouts or ingrown hairs. Finally, steer clear of direct sun exposure and tanning beds for a minimum of 48 hours—and postpone harsh exfoliants or active skincare ingredients like retinoids for a few days to let your skin fully recover.
How often should I get waxed ?
For optimal smoothness, schedule your waxing appointments every 4–6 weeks—just as your hair reaches the ideal ¼" to ½" length for effective removal. This timing aligns with your natural growth cycle, ensuring you enjoy long-lasting results while minimizing breakage and ingrown hairs. Over time, consistent waxing can lead to finer, sparser regrowth, making each session more comfortable and efficient.
