Benefits of waxing vs shaving?The key differences between waxing and shaving is that waxing lasts way longer than shaving does. When you shave, the hair grows back within the next day.

How long does pubic hair need to be to be waxed?Your hair should be ¼ inch long for optimal waxing. If the hair is to short then the wax might not be able to grip all the hair. Which would leave you with a less effective waxing service. I recommend at least three weeks after shaving or trimming to book a wax appointment. Book your next appointment here.

I provided the link to this information.

Is waxing painful?Waxing can be painful to some people but it all depends on a persons pain threshold, the area being waxed, and also what kind of wax is applied.

How often should I get waxed?I recommend my clients to get waxed 4-6 weeks after their session but it also depends on the area that they are waxing. Like for legs its typically around 3-5 weeks and for underarms and bikini is about 3 weeks. Everyone is different so you will need to evaluate how fast your hair grows after every service. Here's the link to this information.

Can I get waxed on my period?Yes, absolutely you can! Just make sure to wear a fresh tampon or a menstrual cup right before your service to minimize the risk of any leakage. Being on your period can make your skin a little bit more sensitive. Here's a link to more in depth questions about periods if you're interested from another esthetician.

How do I prepare for my first Brazilian or bikini wax?To ensure that your first Brazilian or bikini waxing experience is as smooth and comfortable as possible, it's important to keep a few things in mind. First off, you'll need to let your hair grow out for at least three to four weeks prior to your appointment to ensure that there's enough hair to remove. You may also want to consider taking a pain reliever like Tylenol about 30 minutes before your appointment to help reduce any discomfort. It's also best to avoid caffeine, alcohol, and other stimulants in the hours leading up to your appointment, as they can increase your skin's sensitivity. Last but not least, be sure to wear loose-fitting and comfortable clothing to your appointment to prevent any unnecessary irritation or discomfort.

Do you shave in between Brazilian waxes?When it comes to the subject of Brazilian waxing, it is generally in your best interest to steer clear of shaving in between your appointments. This is because shaving has the potential to disrupt the natural hair growth cycle and lead to a host of undesirable consequences, including uneven hair growth and a more uncomfortable waxing experience in the future. To achieve the best possible results, it is therefore recommended that you wait until your hair has grown out to at least a quarter of an inch before booking your next appointment. This provides the ideal conditions for the wax to effectively grip and remove hair from the root, delivering a smoother and more polished finish that lasts for an extended period of time. By taking this crucial advice, you can ensure that your next Brazilian waxing appointment is as pain-free and effective as possible, while also maintaining the natural hair growth cycle and maximizing the longevity of your wax.
-
Does Brazilian wax include butt crack?Yes, a Brazilian wax typically includes the entire pubic area, including the labia, the front, and back of the bikini area, and the butt crack. However, the extent of the waxing can be customized to your preferences. During your appointment, we can discuss how much hair you would like to remove and the areas you want to focus on. I will make sure to communicate with you throughout the process to ensure that you are comfortable and satisfied with the results.
-
What not to do after a Brazilian wax?In the aftermath of a Brazilian wax, it's of paramount importance to take the necessary precautions to mitigate the risk of infection or irritation. Here are a few crucial things you should avoid: Refrain from wearing tight-fitting clothing or underwear that may come in contact with the waxed area and cause undue irritation. Avoid indulging in hot showers, baths, or soaking in hot tubs or swimming pools for at least 24-48 hours. The warmth and dampness can exacerbate irritation or lead to infection in the freshly waxed region. Steer clear of applying any kind of product, be it lotions, creams, or makeup, to the waxed area for a minimum of 24-48 hours. As the skin is especially sensitive after waxing, it may be more susceptible to irritation or discomfort. Resist the urge to touch the waxed area with your hands, as they may carry bacteria that could lead to infection. Avoid engaging in any sexual activity for at least 24-48 hours after the waxing. The skin may be more delicate and prone to infection, and any sexual activity can heighten the chances of irritation or discomfort. By following these essential guidelines, you can rest assured that your skin will remain healthy, comfortable, and irritation-free, ensuring that you have the most positive experience possible after your Brazilian wax.
-
Should I wax myself or go to a salon?While waxing at home can be tempting, it is still generally recommended to seek the services of a professional salon for all your waxing needs. The reasoning behind this is that professional waxing technicians have undergone extensive training and possess a wealth of experience in providing a safe, effective, and hygienic waxing experience, coupled with the expertise to minimize discomfort as much as possible. On the other hand, attempting to wax at home can be a highly risky undertaking, especially if you are unfamiliar with the proper techniques and safety protocols. With the potential for accidental burns or injuries, the use of the wrong type of wax, or the onset of skin irritation, folliculitis, and other complications, the risks associated with home waxing far outweigh the benefits. Conversely, professional salons offer an unparalleled level of cleanliness, hygiene, and access to a wide range of top-quality waxing products and techniques. Additionally, the seasoned waxing technicians can readily address any concerns or questions you may have and help you feel at ease throughout the process. In conclusion, while it is technically possible to carry out waxing at home, it is far more prudent to rely on the expertise of a professional salon for the best possible waxing experience. With the ability to ensure the most effective, safe, and comfortable outcomes, professional waxing is undoubtedly the smart choice for all your waxing requirements.
-
Should you wax or shower first?Taking a warm shower prior to waxing is widely recommended as it can significantly enhance the effectiveness of the waxing process while also reducing the level of discomfort experienced. This is due to the fact that warm water and steam have the ability to open up your pores and soften the hair follicles, allowing the wax to adhere to the hair more effectively and thereby achieving more efficient hair removal. However, it's essential to ensure that your skin is completely dry prior to waxing, as any residual moisture or dampness can interfere with the adhesion process and lead to a less effective waxing experience with an increased risk of discomfort. Therefore, to optimally prepare for your waxing appointment, it's advisable to take a warm shower to open up your pores and soften the hair follicles. However, be sure to allow your skin enough time to dry completely before starting the waxing process. By doing so, you can enjoy a more effective, efficient, and comfortable waxing experience with the best possible outcomes.
-
What should I do if I experience redness or irritation after waxing?Should you happen to experience any redness or irritation after your waxing session, there are several measures you can take to alleviate the discomfort and help soothe your skin. In the first instance, applying a cold compress to the affected area can work wonders in terms of reducing inflammation and alleviating any pain or discomfort that you might be feeling. Additionally, you may also consider using a soothing cream or aloe vera gel, which can have a similar cooling and calming effect on the skin, effectively reducing any redness or irritation present. It's also imperative that you avoid any tight clothing or activities that could exacerbate the discomfort or lead to additional friction or irritation of the skin. This means refraining from wearing any restrictive clothing or participating in any strenuous physical activities such as exercise, for at least 24 hours following the waxing treatment. Should the redness or irritation persist, or you experience any other symptoms such as blistering, swelling, or discharge, it's of paramount importance that you seek professional medical attention from your healthcare provider or a licensed esthetician. They can comprehensively assess your symptoms and provide you with additional guidance and support on how to best care for your skin and mitigate any further discomfort or potential complications.
-
Can I get waxed if I have sensitive skin?While it's true that you can still get waxed even if you have sensitive skin, there are a few important things you need to keep in mind to make sure you don't experience any irritation or discomfort. First things first, it's always a good idea to do a small patch test a few days before your waxing appointment. This involves applying a small amount of wax to a small area of your skin to see if you have any negative reactions. If you don't experience any irritation, then you're good to go ahead with the waxing! It's also highly recommended that you communicate with the person doing the waxing about your skin type and any concerns you may have. They might be able to use a special type of wax or employ different techniques that are better suited for sensitive skin. After your waxing appointment, it's important to avoid any activities that could cause additional irritation or friction to your skin. This includes avoiding tight clothing or activities that cause sweating, such as a rigorous workout. To help soothe any redness or discomfort, you may apply a soothing cream or aloe vera gel to the waxed area. If you experience any unusual symptoms or reactions, such as severe pain, swelling, or discharge, it's vital that you contact a healthcare provider or a licensed esthetician. They can evaluate your symptoms and provide you with additional guidance on how to properly care for your skin.
-
Is it safe to get waxed if I have a sunburn or recent tan?It's important to exercise caution and give your skin the appropriate time it needs to heal after experiencing sunburn or tanning before going ahead with a waxing service. The skin is in a highly sensitive state after sun exposure and can be susceptible to peeling, blistering or even breaking if waxed too soon. Waxing on sunburned or recently tanned skin may lead to increased levels of pain and irritation, as well as potential long-term skin damage. Furthermore, the waxing process has the potential to intensify the effects of sunlight on your skin, which can make matters worse and compound the adverse effects of your sunburn or tan. To optimize the results of your waxing appointment and minimize the chances of any unwarranted side-effects, it's highly recommended to wait until your skin has fully healed after getting sun burnt before getting waxed. This will grant your skin ample time to recuperate and recover, ensuring that you avoid the onset of additional irritation and other adverse reactions. If you're feeling uncertain about whether it's safe or not to get waxed, you should always consult your healthcare provider or a licensed esthetician. They can evaluate your skin condition and provide you with customized recommendations and advice based on your unique needs and circumstances.
