1. What is it?

   • Waxing is the use of either soft wax, wax that needs a cloth strip for removal, or hard wax, wax that hardens as it cools and entraps the hair, to remove unwanted hair. Traditional wax is applied in the same direction as the hair growth and removed in the opposite direction. ​

2. How Long Does Waxing Last?

   • Typically, waxing results can last between 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair growth rate, the area being waxed, and depends on how often you come in to get serviced. 

3. Does Waxing Hurt?

   • Waxing can be uncomfortable, especially for first-timers or sensitive areas, but the pain usually decreases with regular sessions as hair becomes finer and less dense.

4. What Should I Do to Prepare for a Waxing Appointment?

   • Ensure your hair is at least 1/4 inch long or the length of a grain of rice (remember this, if you can grab, it can get waxed), exfoliate the area gently the day before (5 seconds in one direction, 5 seconds in the other direction), and avoid lotions or oils on the day of the appointment.

5. Are There Any Post-Waxing Care Tips?

   • Avoid the 4 Ss: sun, sex, scrubbing, and sweating for 24-48 hours after waxing to prevent irritation. Moisturize and exfoliate regularly to prevent ingrown hairs.

6. Can I Wax If I Have Sensitive Skin or a Skin Condition?

   • It's best to consult with a professional esthetician or dermatologist. Some conditions, like eczema or psoriasis, may require special considerations or alternative hair removal methods.
