Some discomfort is normal, but the service is brief. We recommend avoiding caffeine, taking a mild pain reliever beforehand if needed, and communicating with your esthetician for techniques that minimize discomfort.

Results typically last three to six weeks depending on individual hair growth cycles and lifestyle factors. Regular waxing can extend intervals and lead to finer regrowth, so recommended frequency varies by person.

Clean, dry skin allows best results. Exfoliate gently 24–48 hours before, avoid deodorant on the day, and ensure hair is about a quarter-inch (6 mm) long. Skip heavy moisturizers or recent self-tanning for safest results.

Avoid hot showers, saunas, heavy exercise, and deodorant for 24 hours. Use soothing aloe or antibacterial gel as recommended, and exfoliate gently after 72 hours for smooth regrowth. Wear loose clothing and avoid direct sun or tanning for 48 hours.

Many clients with sensitive skin can wax, but we perform a patch test and use gentle products. Discuss allergies, medications, or skin conditions beforehand so your esthetician can customize technique and aftercare.

Most clients schedule maintenance every three to six weeks, depending on growth rate and personal preference. Regular appointments can thin hair over time, allowing longer intervals between sessions and often reducing overall discomfort during waxing.
