How long will my waxing last?

Accepted Answer

You can expect to be hair free for 1-2 weeks following your appointment.

Question 2

Will my hair grow back thicker or darker?

Accepted Answer

No. Hair that is removed with the roots grows back finer and softer over time.

Question 3

Can I be waxed if I am taking Retin A, Renova or Accutane?"

Accepted Answer

These medications increase the rate at which your skin exfoliates, so there is always a chance that a layer of skin is potentially removed as well as the hair. Please advise your Esthetician if you are on any medications. Treatments such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels and laser can affect the integrity of the skin.

Question 4

How long does my hair have to be to get waxed?

Accepted Answer

Minimum length should be 1/4" in length.  Approximately two weeks without shaving depending on how quick or slow your hair grows.

Question 5

Can I take advil before waxing to help with pain?

Accepted Answer

You can take advil 45 minutes to 1 hour prior to your wax appointment to help with the discomfort, although not necessary.

Question 6

What is the difference between hard wax and strip waxing?

Accepted Answer
