Aim for about 1/4 inch (a few millimeters) of hair to ensure the wax grips properly. If hair is too short, waxing may be less effective; if too long, we may trim before waxing. Scheduling regular appointments helps maintain ideal length.

You may feel discomfort, especially on first treatments, but pain is brief. We use warming techniques, soothing products, and gentle pulls to reduce sensation. Regular waxing reduces pain over time as hair thins. Communicate with your technician for adjustments.

Avoid heavy creams or oils on the day of your appointment, exfoliate lightly 48 hours prior, and avoid sunburn or tanning. If you take topical medications, inform us. Washing the area before arrival helps ensure a clean, smooth waxing session.

Avoid hot baths, saunas, and vigorous exercise for 24-48 hours to reduce irritation. Apply soothing aloe or recommended serum, avoid sun exposure, and wear breathable clothing. Exfoliate gently after 48-72 hours to prevent ingrown hairs.

Yes, many clients wax during their period, but increased sensitivity and bleeding risk can occur. Bring a tampon or cup for comfort. If you feel especially tender, rescheduling is fine. Technicians maintain strict hygiene and provide privacy.

Most clients return every 4-6 weeks depending on hair growth and personal preference. Regular sessions maintain smoother results and thinner regrowth. We can recommend a personalized schedule based on your hair cycle and previous waxing experience during your appointment.
