Most discomfort comes from apprehension before the first visit — the fear of the unknown. The actual sensation is a temporary sting that dissipates on its own. With regular waxing, hair becomes finer and less abundant, and most guests find the sensation diminishes further over time.

Results typically last 3–6 weeks, depending on your rate of hair growth. The first few visits are part of the process — it usually takes 3-4 waxings before all your hair aligns to the same growth cycle. After that, the rhythm becomes more predictable.

Hair should be about a quarter inch long — roughly two weeks of growth after shaving. The more we can remove from the root in the first visit, the cleaner the wax. Brows can usually be a little shorter.

No. Shaving cuts the hair at its thickest point, which is why stubble feels coarse the next day. Waxing removes hair from the root, so when it grows back, it's finer and tapered. If you've never removed hair from an area before — the upper lip, for example — the regrowth may feel more noticeable than expected. That's perception, not the hair itself changing.

Yes, with timing in mind. If you're a first-time waxer, we recommend two waxings ahead of your event — the first at least one month before, to see how your skin responds, and a second closer to the date for the event itself.

Yes. Guests receiving waxing services must be 18 or older, or have parental approval signed and on file with us.

Regular gentle exfoliation, keeping the skin hydrated, and avoiding tight clothing right after a wax all help. Your esthetician can recommend products and a routine based on your skin and where you're being waxed.
