This is my first time waxing, how long should the hair be?

For effective hair removal, we suggest that your hair be at least 1/4 of an inch long which is about the length of a grain of rice, or 2-3 weeks worth of hair growth from your last shave or trim.

Does it hurt?

Pain varies from person to person. Waxing consistently tends to make it more tolerable. If you’re nervous or have a low pain tolerance, you can always take a pain reliever 30 minutes before your appointment to minimize discomfort. The actual waxing only lasts a few minutes.

What should I do to prepare?

Please take a shower/bath with warm water to open up the pores and wear loose clothing the day of your appointment. Gently exfoliate the area with a gentle body scrub 2 days before your appointment for bests results — NEVER THE DAY OF!!

How often should I wax?

Every 3-4 weeks for best results. Do not shave between services.

Who can get waxed?

Anyone 18 years of age or older (we may ask for an ID). Men are welcome to all services except for Brazilian, Bikini Full, Or Bikini waxes.
