Frequently Asked Questions

• Make sure your hair is at least ¼-inch long — about the size of a grain of rice.
• Gently exfoliate with a buffing mitt or wash cloth a couple of days before your appointment to help prevent ingrown hairs.
• Avoid tanning for at least 24 hours before your appointment, as this can cause the skin to be more sensitive.
• Cut down on alcohol and caffeine the day of your appointment. Both can cause your pores to tighten and make waxing more painful.
• Wear breathable  or loose bottoms to your appointment for maximum comfort.
• Take an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment to help lessen pain.

Bikini waxes typically clean up hair in the groin region, wherever hair could poke out from a swimsuit.

The Brazilian goes a step further by offering complete pubic hair removal: from the front of the pubic bone to the area underneath, called the perineum, to the anus.

Here’s what you can expect:

1. The esthetician will ask you to get undressed from the waist down and hop up on the table. 
2. Next is to prep and clean the treated area. This is to ensure that the wax has a clean surface to stick to. 
3. Once the area is clean, the esthetician will go in with a pre-wax treatment, usually an oil or powder, to ensure that the skin is protected. 
4. Then, the waxing! 
5. If any hair strand is  misses, then will remove the hair with tweezers.
6. Finally, the esthetician will rejuvenate the area with a serum or cream to soothe irritation and help prevent  ingrown hairs.

If you’re on your period, you may want to consider rescheduling your appointment. When you’re menstruating, the skin around your pubic bone becomes a little more sensitive and you’re more prone to cramping. MEANING THE APPOINTMENT WILL HURT WORSE!!

If you’re still down to get waxed, make sure you wear and bring extra tampon or reusable cup to your appointment. 

Anyone taking oral acne medications, such as Accutane

Using topical retinoids, such as Retin-A 

Some of these products and medications weaken the skin barrier through chemical exfoliation, and waxing could result in painful overexfoliation.

Radiation and chemotherapy can also lead to an uptick in skin sensitivity and dryness, so waxing may not be the most comfortable hair removal method.

Yes! It's always a great idea to get waxing cleared from your doctor. Just like waxing on your menstrual cycle, being pregnant will leave you more sensitive after waxing. If at any moment you feel uncomfortable then the waxing treatment session will need to end.
