Waxing

Waxing
Waxing is a popular method of hair removal that involves applying a layer of warm wax to the skin, where it adheres to the hair. Once the wax has set for a few moments, a cloth or paper strip is pressed onto the wax, and the hair is removed by quickly pulling the strip off in the opposite direction of hair growth. This removes the hair from the root, which leads to smoother skin for weeks.
There are two main types of waxing:
Soft wax: This wax is spread thinly on the skin and removed with a cloth or paper strip.
Hard wax: This wax hardens on its own and is removed without the need for cloth strips.

Benefits of Waxing
Long-lasting results: Waxing removes hair from the root, so results typically last 3-6 weeks, depending on hair growth cycles.
Smooth skin: It provides a smooth finish and can also exfoliate dead skin cells.
Larger areas: Waxing can be used on larger areas like the legs, arms, back, and chest, as well as smaller areas like the eyebrows, upper lip, and bikini line.
Hair regrowth is finer: Over time, consistent waxing can lead to finer and softer hair regrowth.
  • The re-growth of hair takes longer – When you remove hair with wax, they usually take 3-5 weeks to grow back. This saves you from the hassle of removing hair every other day. After waxing regularly, you will notice that you hair growth has slowed down or it has stopped completely in some follicles or areas. This means that the time between your waxing sessions may increase and you will be less stressed about removing unwanted body hair as frequently.
  • Smooth hair – The hair that grows after wax is fine and smooth. If you use other hair removal methods like shaving, you will notice that hair not only grows faster but they are also very corse.
  • Soft skin – Waxing makes you feel good about your skin. It leaves your skin soft and smooth. You can easily wear those sleeveless and backless tops and dresses without worrying about any unwanted hair. Waxing is a great way to flaunt soft and glowing skin
  • Inexpensive – Waxing is an inexpensive, fast, convenient way of hair removal.

Sugaring and Waxing FAQ

  • How long does my hair have to be to get sugaring or waxing done?

    Your hair must be at least 1/4 of an inch long for sugaring or waxing. In real life terms that means AT LEAST 2 weeks of regrowth after shaving (yes, seriously!), or at least 3 weeks of regrowth after your last sugaring or waxing session.

  • Should I trim my hair if it is longer?

    No, we prefer if you do not trim your hair because people tend to trim in too short which will effect your results. We have electric trimmers and will trim in for you if needed.

  • How long does sugaring and waxing last?

    Waxing will typically last about 2 weeks until you notice any regrowth and 4 weeks until there is enough hair to wax again.

  • Does sugaring and waxing hurt?

    We’ll be honest with you. Yes, a bit. For some people more than others. Does one hurt more than the other? We have come to realize that eveyone has their own opinion.

  • What is the difference between sugaring and waxing?

    The main difference between sugaring and waxing is the product that is used. Sugaring uses sugar paste, waxing uses wax. And the method in which the products are applied and removed use different techniques.

  • Which is better, sugaring or waxing?

    Again, everyone has their own opinion but in OUR opinion, we think sugaring delivers better results and is easier on the skin than waxing.

  • What is a Brazilian?

    A brazilian removes most or all of the hair from the pubic area and behind area. You can choose to have it ALL removed or to leave a little behind in the areas of your choice.

  • How do I prepare for sugaring or waxing?

    If you know ahead of time you will be getting sugared or waxed you should start exfoliating to get all the hairs out of any dead skin build up. Don’t exfoliate the day of getting your hair removal service however because it may cause sensitivity. Before waxing you can shower and be sure not to aplly any lotions or cosmetics to the areas being waxed.

  • How can I help relieve the pain of sugaring or waxing?

    Some people choose to take an over the counter pain reliever 30-60 minutes before their waxing appointment. We suggest ibuprofen or acetaminophen, not aspirin (causes blood thinning). Also, there are topical numbing creams containing lidocaine that can ease pain up to 60%. Must be applied 30 minutes prior to service.

  • What if I am on or start my period?

    If you start your period and still want a Brazilian we will still do your service if you wear a tampon. If you are close to the time of menstration and don’t feel comfortable coming in if you do start your period please do not schedule an appointment around that time because if you have to cancel same day our cancellation policy and fees will still apply.

  • What is the aftercare for sugaring and waxing?

    We suggest just resting your skin for the rest of the day after sugaring or waxing. That means just taking it easy. No super hot water, no heavy exercising, no sun exposure. We will apply calming and nourishing skincare products after your wax and you can continue to if needed at home. Once your skin is back to normal you need to exfoliate and moisturize your skin daily to avoid ingrown hairs.
