Waxing FAQs

Get ready to enjoy silky-smooth skin for 3 to 6 weeks! The exact length of time will depend on your own hair growth cycle. But here’s the best part: with regular waxing, you might even notice your hair growing back slower over time. Woohoo!

There are two main types of wax used for waxing: strip wax and hot wax. Strip wax is a thin layer applied to the skin and removed with a paper/fabric strip. It’s generally used for larger areas like legs, arms, back, and chest as the stickiness of the wax adheres to hairs to remove it. Hot wax is thicker and applied directly to the skin. It’s then left to cool slightly before being peeled off. Hot wax is often used for more delicate areas like the face and underarms and intimate waxing because it can be gentler on the skin and better at removing courser hair.

For the best waxing experience, your hair should be at least ¼ inch long or grown for minimum of 3weeks.  If your hair is too short, the wax may not be able to grip it properly and you might not get the results you want.
