Why Wax?
Waxing removes hair from the root, weakening the follicle over time. With consistent waxing every 4-6 weeks and proper at-home care, hair grows back finer, slower, and with less discomfort. Most clients notice no regrowth for about 2 weeks.
Benefits of Waxing:
• Slower, finer hair growth
• Can minimize ingrown hairs
• Longer-lasting results compared to shaving
• No razor bumps
How Should I Prepare for My Wax?
• Allow 2.5 weeks of growth after shaving or 3.5 weeks after waxing.
• Exfoliate the area gently 24-48 hours before your appointment.
• Stay hydrated! A hydrated follicle releases hair more easily.
• Avoid caffeine for a few hours before your wax to reduce skin sensitivity.
• Taking ibuprofen or Tylenol an hour before your appointment can ease discomfort.
Don’t worry—I’ll walk you through every step!
What Should I Expect After My First Wax?
It takes 2-3 waxes every 4-5 weeks (with no shaving in between) to achieve a completely clean wax. Stray hairs are normal at first due to different growth cycles. For the best results, let your hair grow as long as possible (3-5 weeks is ideal!) before your first appointment.
Can I Wax While on Medication?
Certain medications can make skin more sensitive to waxing. Avoid waxing if you are using or recently used:
• Tretinoin, Retin A, Retinol
• Differin, Isotretinoin, Accutane
Discontinue topical medications 7 days before your appointment. Avoid waxing if you are currently on Accutane or for 6 months after stopping it.
Can I Wax While on My Period?
Yes, but you may be more sensitive. If getting a Brazilian during your period, please wear a tampon or menstrual cup.
Can I Wax While Pregnant?
Absolutely! Waxing is safe during pregnancy, though sensitivity may be heightened. I’ll ensure you’re comfortable throughout your service. If unsure, consult with your physician.
Does My Size Affect the Cost of Waxing?
Not at all! All shapes and sizes are treated equally at Waxology.
