Waxing is a form of hair removal that removes the entire hair from the hair follicle. Unlike shaving, Nair or clippers, which bluntly cut the hair at the surface. Warm wax is applied to the skin and “shrink wraps” around the hair follicle allowing the hair to be pulled from the root. Because the entire hair is removed, skin is left very smooth and outlasts any other form of hair removal, you won’t believe it till you try it.

Yes and no. Waxing does hurt most the first time. There are two reasons for this: If you have a low pain tolerance, take ibuprofen 30 minutes before your appointment to help out!

Of course you can! In fact, we think that’s the most fun way to enjoy a facial at the facial bar! The chairs you reserve when booking your appointment will be seated together. (May take additional time)

Yes, possibly. The upper lip, back and chest are all areas that are prone to breakouts. If you have a tendency towards ingrown hairs and irritation from shaving, you are more likely to have the same reactions waxing, although dramatically decreased. To minimize skin reactions, you MUST use proper home care and come to get waxed on a regular schedule. All-in-all, come in like clockwork, every 4 weeks on the dot, exfoliate your skin and moisturize. This will help set you up for waxing success!

No, our wax specialists will take care of everything and walk you through our 4 Steps to Gorgeous process. We just ask that you kindly arrive on time

No way, no how. Wax in general is antibacterial, simply because there is zero water in the product. In order for bacteria to grow, some amount of water must be present. We practice smart, clean waxing and take universal precautions to ensures that the practices she used every day in the Health Care would is exactly what practice in our waxing world! We use gloves, disposable sticks, clean & prep the skin prior to hair removal, disinfect our tools and more.

Wait at least 4-6 hours for your skin to get back to normal before taking a hot shower or bath.

We suggest wearing loose clothing. The skin is usually sensitive post waxing service and you won’t want to wear anything that rubs. You will not leave in discomfort perse, but expect the waxed area to be sensitive.

We know you're excited to show off that bikini wax, but avoid the gym, tanning salon, swimming pool, hot tubs and sauna for 12 hours after waxing.

If it is your first-time waxing, then we recommend you refrain from shaving for at least two weeks before your reservation. After your first wax, it is recommended to wax every three to four weeks. Then go home and throw your razors away, because you'll never have to shave again.

If you find yourself tempted to shave or trim, don’t! Once you see that waxing leaves you stubble-free, you won’t want to. Staying away from clippers and razors will also help to remove more growth cycles during your next visit. If you have the urge to shave in between visits, book them closer together! Razors and clippers chop the hair at its thickest, making it harder for the wax to hold on to!

In general, hair has to be about ¼" long for wax to be able to grab onto it. If it's not long enough, then your technician may not be able to remove it, especially if it's thick. ... In fact, it can make getting a good wax way harder. If hair is 1/2" long or longer, you can run into some real problems.

You should get waxed every three to four weeks, while underarms and facial services should be done more frequently.

Your hair does not grow back thicker when you get waxing done. It's the complete opposite, if you continue to get waxing done on an area and do nothing else you will actually find that it grows back finer, lighter and in some cases patchy.

By waxing, you are pulling at the hair from the root and doing this over time you damage the hair bulb meaning hair grows back less dense and with a finer texture.

It’s like working out at the gym. You don’t automatically lose 10lbs on your first visit, right? It’s the same thing with waxing. You will not get the best wax until your 3rd wax. This is due to the 3 stages of hair growth. So, 3 growth stages + 3 waxes = the best wax. By “best wax” we mean: No hair left behind, ultimate smoothness, slow hair regrowth and little skin irritation.

A waxing service can last up to 3-4 weeks.

Only the best, of course! No seriously, our wax is imported from (oh la, la) France. For sensitive areas, we use hard wax and for bigger areas, a low-burning aloe strip wax is used.

It’s kind of like a Bikini wax on steroids! A Brazilian wax is the complete removal of hair, front and back. You decide if you want to go completely bare or would like to keep a small landing strip or triangle of hair. The Brazilian alone (without any added waxing service) should take no longer than 15-30 min.

Absolutely! Beyond the Manzilian (the male version of the Brazilian) many men also wax their chests, backs, noses and ears. Some men love to be slick from top to toes, and we can take care of that. But we have a tip for you: Don’t wax your face. While women’s faces respond well, the hair on a man’s face and head isn’t built for the waxing process.

During a Manzilian wax, we remove all of the hair from the male bikini area, the scrotum, and the butt crack. The Manzilian does not include the glutes, but will happily add that to your service if you wish!

Well, yes. But you will only need to undress from the waist down (including your underwear). We know it may be a little unnerving for you, you’ve never met our staff, we’ll going to be applying warm wax, your goods are hanging out – but trust us, we do this ALL day long. It’s just a body part to us. Waxing is a no judgement zone. Come as you are.

Yes!

Prior to your initial service, you will complete an intake consult form. Please advise your esthetician of any medical or skin conditions and also if you are taking any medications prescribed by a doctor such as Retin-A or Accutane. Users of Retin-A, Renova, Differin or Accutane are advised not to use waxing on the face as these medications tend to weaken the skin. Because of this, tearing of the skin may occur when the wax is removed.

Yes! Please do not cancel your appointment if you have your menstrual cycle. Just insert a tampon and you’re good to go. Take note, there are differing opinions as to whether or not waxing hurts more on your cycle. Some do believe the pain is worse while others experience no changes in discomfort at all. If you have a low pain tolerance, take ibuprofen 30 minutes before your appointment to help out!

• Anyone currently taking Accutain or who has taken Accutain at any time within the past 6 months. • Anyone who has an active Herpes outbreak • Anyone with a sunburn on the area to be treated • Anyone who has had a chemical peel over the treatment within the past 7 days • Anyone who has used any type of Retinol within the past 36 hours over the treatment area • Any area of the skin showing signs of trauma, varicose veins, open or active acne lesions, eczema, psoriasis or any type of dermatitis will not be waxed

For the next 24-48 hours avoid on the waxed areas: • After 24-48 hours, regular exfoliation with a shower gel and loofah or exfoliating glove will help keep skin soft and prevent ingrown hairs. Apply an SPF 30 or greater sunscreen to any exposed treatment areas. Since waxing exfoliates as well as removing hair, your skin will be more prone to sunburn in the days following your treatment.

You can never be too old for a Brazilian! We even have clients who are septuagenarians. True story! As for the age to start waxing, that’s really up to you – or your parents if you’re under the age of 18. Guests 17 or younger should bring their parent or guardian in for the first time, as they will need to give the green light.
