Question 1

Does waxing hurt?

Accepted Answer

Some discomfort is completely normal, especially if it’s your first wax, but I use gentle techniques and high-quality products to make the experience as quick and comfortable as possible. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, though most clients say it’s much easier than they expected. The best part is that with consistency, waxing typically becomes easier and more comfortable over time.

Question 2

Can I wax during my period?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Waxing is perfectly safe and common during your menstrual cycle. However, your skin may feel more sensitive. I request that you wear a menstrual cup or tampon to your appointment if you have your period.

Question 3

How should I prepare for my waxing appointment?

Accepted Answer

Hair should be at least 1/4 inch in length (a grain of rice). I request people grow their hair out a minimum of three weeks.
Gently exfoliate one to two days before your appointment. If you are booking in advance, start this step early by exfoliating twice a week leading up to your appointment. Be sure to leave 24 hours in between exfoliating and your wax.
Start moisturizing your skin the day you book your wax. Hydrated hair and skin is the foundation for a more comfortable & smoother wax.

Question 4

How long will my results last?

Accepted Answer

Most clients stay smooth for 2–3 weeks and schedule their appointments every 4–6 weeks to maintain the best results. Hair typically grows back finer, softer, and less noticeable even after your first session.

Question 5

Can waxing cause ingrown hairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can. Where hair grows, ingrown hairs can follow. Proper exfoliating and hydration reduce the changes. I can recommend products and aftercare steps that help prevent and treat ingrown hairs.. Some people are more prone to them than others, so I aim to work with every client individually to find a routine that works best for them.

Question 6

How should I care for my skin after waxing?

Accepted Answer

Avoid tight clothing, swimming, heat, tanning, exercise, friction, and hot baths for 24 to 48 hours. Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer and body wash and follow any aftercare guidance provided.

Question 7

Can I wax while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Waxing is safe while pregnant and I have waxed many women up until their due date. There are a few considerations to keep in mind. Always consult with your healthcare provider first. I recommend beginning the waxing process as early as possible. Pregnancy can often lead to heightened sensitivity, so it's best to get the first brazilian (the most uncomfortable) out of the way as soon as possible, or even before you become pregnant. Throughout the pregnancy we make adjustments such as more comfortable positioning to suit your needs.

Question 8

Will I feel awkward?

Accepted Answer

Feeling a little nervous before your first wax is completely normal! I want you to know you’re in experienced, judgment-free hands- this is something I do all day, every day, and some days I perform up to 15 Brazilians. To me, a body is just a body, and my job is simply to remove your hair safely, professionally, and comfortably. My biggest priority is helping you feel relaxed and at ease throughout the entire appointment. Most first-time clients are surprised by how quickly those nerves fade, and by the end of the appointment, it often feels more like catching up with a friend than anything else.
