Waxing: FAQS

Q1: Is waxing painful?

A: Waxing is a very personal experience and pain tolerance can not only vary from person to person, but the sensation is also dependent on what areas you decide to wax. The more often and more regularly you wax, the less you may find it hurts over time. If you have a low pain threshold, try taking ibuprofen at least 30 minutes before your appointment.  

Q2: Will waxing make my hair grow back quicker?

A: No, neither shaving nor waxing will make your hair grow back thicker. The difference is that when you wax, your hair is pulled from the root, so you won't have the stubble you get when you shave. Bonus: typically hair that is consistently waxed actually grows back softer and finer.  

Q3: How long will my wax last?

A: Your wax should last anywhere from three to four weeks, depending on the rate of your hair growth.

A: Hair growth needs to be at least 1/4” long to be removed. About the length of the average pinky nail.

Q6: Do you provide facial waxing

A: Hair growth needs to be at least 1/4” long to be removed. About the length of the average pinky nail.

Q7: What are the benefits of waxing?

A: Waxing removes hair from the root, giving you smooth skin for weeks with no itchy stubble. It reduces ingrown hairs, softens regrowth, and can even lessen hair growth over time. Plus, it saves you time compared to daily shaving!
