Great question! Here are a few simple steps to prepare for your wax.

· It’s essential that you gently exfoliate at least 24 hours before your appointment. Exfoliation with a scrub, toner pad, or scrub cloth helps remove any dead skin so we can get every little hair.

· Take a warm shower within an hour before your wax to soften the hairs. If showering isn't possible, cleansing wipes work perfectly (provided during each appointment).

· Drink plenty of water beforehand to stay hydrated before your wax. Dehydration makes skin and hair brittle, increasing discomfort.

· If you're worried about pain, take an Advil 30 minutes prior to your appointment (with your doctor’s approval).

· Arrive with a calm mindset. Deep breathing and a positive attitude help reduce tension and ease any discomfort. Remember, we’ve got you covered!

· Avoid caffeine before your appointment, as it makes your skin more sensitive and can amplify the discomfort. Treat yourself to that cup afterward as a reward.

· Avoid using retinol and deep exfoliating treatments (like chemical peels or scrubs) for at least 5–7 days before waxing. Avoid other active ingredients like AHAs or BHAs for at least 3 days before your appointment. These make skin more sensitive and prone to irritation or lifting.

· Avoid plucking or trimming for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.

· Avoid tanning, sunburn, or heat exposure (like saunas/steam) for at least 48 hours before your wax. Sun-stressed skin is more fragile and can be easily damaged.

· Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face if possible. Fresh skin ensures better adhesion and reduces the risk of clogged pores. However, if your appointment is during the day, we can cleanse your face.

Honestly? There is some discomfort involved - we’re removing hair from the root after all.

However, the sensation will vary depending on your hair texture, skin type, pain tolerance, and mindset all makes a huge difference. Deep breathing and staying positive genuinely help reduce discomfort during the process.

· Pro Tip: If your doctor allows it, take a painkiller at least 30 minutes before your wax.

Great question! Hair length makes all the difference for your wax appointment.

To ensure hair is long enough for complete removal from the root, allow 3-4 weeks of growth after shaving. DO NOT trim your hair, we'll handle any trimming needed during your appointment.

For best results, facial hair is typically ready for waxing every 2-4 weeks, while body hair should be waxed every 4-6 weeks.

Of course! With consistent waxing, the hair will grow thinner and sparser, which also helps decrease discomfort over time (in my opinion, it’s one of the greatest benefits of waxing!).

Love this question! While everyone's hair grows differently, here's what most clients experience.

You may notice new hair growth in about 5–10 days after your wax. The more consistent you are with waxing (every 4–6 weeks), the more you’ll enjoy softer, finer, and less noticeable hair with each visit. Razors could never!

Of course you can!

During your period, please wear a tampon or menstrual cup for your service. If you’d prefer to wait, you’re always welcome to reschedule. Just kindly give at least 24 hours’ notice.

During pregnancy, some women experience increased sensitivity, especially with Brazilian waxing but rest assured, waxing is completely safe for both you and baby, and still very manageable.

Arrive 7-10 minutes early for your first visit to discuss intake forms. Let us know about any medications or skin conditions. Please, feel free to communicate with your esthetician about comfort levels during your service. We want you to feel completely at ease - no question is too small!
