Waxing

  • How long should my hair be before I can wax?
    Hair should ideally be around 1/4 to 1/2 inch long for waxing to be effective. If it's too short, the wax may not grip the hair properly, resulting in incomplete removal.
  • Which type of wax do you recommend for sensitive skin?
    For sensitive skin, hard wax is often recommended because it adheres primarily to the hair and is less likely to cause irritation or redness compared to soft wax.
  • Is it okay to wax if I'm pregnant?
    Waxing is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but it's essential to inform your aesthetician if you're pregnant, as your skin may be more sensitive.
  • Will waxing make my hair grow back thicker or darker?
    No, waxing does not change the color or texture of hair. In fact, with regular waxing, hair may grow back finer over time.
  • How often should I schedule waxing appointments for optimal results?
    It depends on individual hair growth, but most people schedule waxing appointments every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain smooth skin.
  • What can I do to minimize pain during waxing?
    Taking a pain reliever 30 minutes before your appointment can help, as well as avoiding caffeine, which can make you more sensitive to pain.
  • Are there any specific aftercare instructions I should follow after waxing?
    After waxing, avoid hot baths, saunas, and sun exposure for 24 hours, and exfoliate regularly to prevent ingrown hairs.
  • Can I wax if I have skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis?
    It's best to consult with your dermatologist before waxing if you have skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, as waxing could exacerbate irritation.
  • Is there anything I should avoid doing before my waxing appointment?
    Avoid applying lotions, oils, or creams to the area to be waxed, as they can interfere with the wax's adhesion.
  • What should I do if I experience irritation or redness after waxing? Applying a soothing lotion or aloe vera gel to the affected area can help calm irritation. If it persists, consult your aesthetician.
  • Can waxing cause ingrown hairs, and how can I prevent them?
    Yes, waxing can sometimes cause ingrown hairs. Regular exfoliation and moisturizing can help prevent them.
  • Are there any medications or skincare products that could affect my waxing results?
    Certain medications and skincare products, such as retinoids and acne treatments, can make the skin more sensitive and prone to irritation. It's essential to inform your aesthetician of any medications you're taking.
  • How long can I expect the results of waxing to last?
    Results typically last between 4 to 6 weeks, depending on individual hair growth.
  • Is it safe to wax if I've recently had laser hair removal or other skin treatments?
