QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The results can last between 2-3 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. The more frequently that you wax the longer the results will last. Over time you'll notice less hair regrowth. Plus, the hair will come back softer, finer. We recommend waxing every 4-6 weeks
Some pain is to be expected with waxing! For your own comfort it's best to take some ibuprofen 1 hour before your appointment. It is also best to wax after your menstrual cycle. Regular waxing appointments weaken the hair and the results are definitely worth it!
Please exfoliate the area to be waxed either the day before or day of your appointment using a loofah sponge or a body scrub. This step will help to remove the build up of dead skin, removes dry skin and assists in bringing any underlying hair to the surface. Exfoliated skin will mean faster service, less irritation, and less hair breakage!

Recommendations Before Waxing Treatments:
Following these guidelines will help prepare skin and hair before your wax appointment and minimize irritation after your appointment:
• The ideal length of hair prior to wax, is 1/4 inch long, or longer, about 2 weeks of hair growth. This ensures a quicker, cleaner, less painful experience.
Ensures the best result possible.
• Since the hair is lifted from the root, regrowth can take from 2-4 weeks. Over time the hair shaft is finer, thinner, and you'll notice less growth.

After any body wax it's important to keep-up with the exfoliation and keep your skin free of dead skin build up. Please wait 5 days before you start exfoliating to prevent irritation. After five days you can use a body scrub or a loofah sponge daily to lightly exfoliate. We also carry products for sale that help prevent ingrown hair.
