Waxing

Frequently Asked Questions

Waxing is more effective than shaving because it removes hair from the roots, whereas shaving only removes it from the skin’s surface. Over time, areas that have been repeatedly waxed tend to grow back with lighter hair and less hair.

Waxing is for male and female, old and young. Some physicians don’t recommend waxing for anyone with diabetes, varicose veins and poor circulation because they are more susceptible to get an infection. Please inform your medical esthetician if you are on any medication or have any allergies.

Ideally, you want your hair to be from half a centimetre to one centimetre in length. Anything longer than that may need to be trimmed prior to waxing.

Results can vary depending on the client and the area waxed. Anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks is the typical re-growth rate.

Pain tolerance varies by client, and the more times you wax, the less painful it becomes. Clients may feel a stinging sensation while the waxing is going on. Leaving the appointment you will no longer have any pain. Clients with a low pain tolerance can take an Aspirin or Ibuprofen 15-30 minutes prior to the appointment.

There is no age restriction, but clients under 18 years old are required to come with their parent/guardian on the first visit to consent to the treatment.
