How long does my hair have to be for my first wax?

I recommend having at least 3 weeks of hair growth since your last shave or trim. the longer the better!

What can I do to prepare for my waxing service?

Drink plenty of water, wear loose clothing, avoid watching Youtube videos & NO googling! (Everyone has a different pain tolerance and experience.)

Can I get waxed while on my period?

Yes! I just ask that you put in a fresh tampon and be aware that you may be a little more sensitive due to being on your period. If you are not comfortable waxing while on your period, please schedule your wax AFTER your period is done.

What type of wax do you use?

I use hard wax for all my services! The hard wax I use is resin-free, hypoallergenic (ideal for sensitive skin), vegan friendly & cruelty free!

How long after my first wax should I come in again?

After your first wax, I recommend coming back every 4-6 weeks. Consistency is key!

Any precautions I should take before my wax?

No caffeine or alcohol prior to your appointment.
Facial waxing - Must be off of retinols, acne products, harsh exfoliants for 2 weeks.
All waxing - Must be off of Accutane for at least 1 year.
Sunburned, irritated or areas with open skin cannot be waxed.
Botox/fillers - Must wait 2 weeks before getting waxed.

Yes! It is safe to be waxed throughout your pregnancy, but always clear it with your doctor first, especially if you're high risk.

Do you wax minors?

Yes, but I do require parent/legal guardian consent and the minor MUST have parent/legal guardian present in the room. I DO NOT offer the brazilian wax to anyone under 18 years of age.

Should I get waxed before or after the tanning salon?

I recommend getting waxed at least 3 days BEFORE you head to a tanning salon.

It is preferred to wait at least 48 hours after your wax, but things happen! Just be sure to clean the area right after to prevent any irritation or breakouts.

Can I shower right after my wax?

Absolutely! Just make sure the water is at a luke warm temperature and not scorching hot.

Can I bring someone with me to my appointment?

Unfortunately, I do not allow any extra guests in the room while in service. Your appointment time is dedicated for you to unwind from the world & to focus on you!
