Most clients enjoy smooth results for three to six weeks, depending on hair growth cycles, hormonal factors, and personal regrowth rate. Regular waxing can extend intervals; schedule follow-ups to maintain your desired smoothness.

Sensitivity varies. Many clients report brief discomfort during initial sessions, which lessens over time. We use gentle techniques, offer calming aftercare, and can suggest numbing options when appropriate to minimize pain.

Avoid shaving for at least two weeks so hair is about a quarter inch long. Exfoliate gently a day or two before, arrive with clean skin, and inform your technician of any medications or skin conditions.

Avoid shaving between waxes because it disrupts the waxing cycle by changing hair length and texture. If necessary, shave sparingly and try to maintain recommended regrowth before your next appointment for best results.

Keep the area clean and avoid hot baths, heavy exercise, and direct sun for 24–48 hours. Apply soothing aloe or recommended lotion, and gently exfoliate after 48–72 hours to prevent ingrown hairs.

Avoid waxing with sunburn, open wounds, recent chemical peels, or while on certain retinoids or blood thinners. Always disclose pregnancy, medications, or skin issues so we can recommend safe options.
