FAQs
Body waxing is a hair removal method that uses warm wax to pull hair from the root, leaving skin smooth and hair-free for weeks.
Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about the length of a grain of rice) for best results. This is usually about 2–3 weeks of growth after shaving.
Some discomfort is normal, especially if it’s your first time. However, the pain is quick and lessens with consistent waxing. We also offer techniques and products to help minimize sensitivity.
Typically, results last 3–6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle, area waxed, and how often you wax.
Yes, waxing is generally safe during pregnancy. However, skin may be more sensitive, so we recommend discussing it with your healthcare provider first.
Yes, but you may be more sensitive. We ask that you wear a tampon or menstrual cup during the service for hygiene.
Yes! Here's how to prepare:
-
Exfoliate the area 24 hours before your appointment.
-
Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 24–48 hours prior.
-
Don’t apply lotions or oils the day of your appointment.
-
Take a mild pain reliever 30 minutes before if you're concerned about discomfort.
-
Aftercare is important to avoid irritation:
-
Avoid heat (hot showers, saunas, workouts) for 24 hours.
-
Don’t exfoliate for 48 hours, then gently exfoliate regularly to prevent ingrown hairs.
-
Moisturize with a fragrance-free lotion.
-
Shaving disrupts the hair growth cycle and can lead to coarser regrowth. For best results, stick with waxing only.
Yes. You should avoid waxing if you:
-
Are using retinoids, Accutane, or other exfoliating medications?
-
DO NOT wax if you are on an acne medication such as Accutane, Differin, Retin-A or any other skin thinning or blood thinning medications. Waxing while on these medications can cause the skin to lift. Steer clear of waxing any area with varicose veins, sunburn, an STI or contagious skin infection. If you have undergone cosmetic treatments such as chemical peels you should wait at least six weeks before getting waxed.
-
You should stop using Retin-A (tretinoin) or other topical retinoids at least 5 to 7 days before waxing.
-
Here's why:
-
Retin-A increases cell turnover and thins the top layer of skin, which can make your skin more sensitive and prone to lifting, tearing, or scabbing during waxing—even with high-quality wax and skilled technique.
-
Additional guidelines:
-
Prescription-strength retinoids may require 7–10 days of discontinuation.
-
For over-the-counter retinols or exfoliating acids (like AHAs or BHAs), 3–5 days may be enough—but always err on the side of caution.
-
After waxing, wait at least 2–3 days before restarting Retin-A to avoid irritation.
-
Have sunburned or broken skin
-
Have had a chemical peel within the last 7 days
Please let us know about any medications or skin treatments beforehand.
