Most clients enjoy smooth results for three to six weeks, depending on individual hair growth and care. Regular appointments can extend smoothness over time, while exfoliation and proper aftercare help minimize ingrown hairs and promote even regrowth.

Some sensitivity is normal, but our experienced technicians use quick techniques and pre-wax cleansing to reduce pain. We can apply numbing cream on request and soothing products after service to calm skin. Short hairs and steady technique make the process fast and tolerable.

Come with clean, makeup-free skin and avoid topical retinoids or heavy exfoliants for at least 48 hours. Allow hair to be at least quarter-inch long for best results. Inform us of sensitivities, medications, or recent facial treatments.

Waxing can sometimes lead to ingrown hairs, especially with coarse hair or inadequate exfoliation.

Regular professional waxing and proper aftercare significantly reduce ingrown hair risk.

Yes—active cold sores, sunburned skin, recent chemical peels, Accutane use within six months, or open wounds prevent waxing. Please disclose medications, skin conditions, or recent facial procedures so we can advise alternatives or reschedule safely.

Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, heavy makeup, and intense exercise for 24 hours. Apply soothing gel or aloe and keep the area clean. Gently exfoliate after 48–72 hours to prevent ingrown hairs, and schedule touch-ups as recommended by your technician.
