Does waxing hurt?

Many people are surprised to find that it does not hurt as much as they expected it to. It feels like a bandage being pulled off. The pain is minor in some areas and much more painful in other more sensitive areas. The sting lasts a split second, and may feel tender when touched for the next few hours. Your body adjusts with continued waxing, so each session becomes less painful and is finished more rapidly.

How long before hair reappears and how long does the hair have to be before waxing?

After your first waxing, the results can last 3 to 6 weeks depending on the individual’s hair re-growth. In most cases the hair growth is minimal during the first week or two and noticeably increases in the third and fourth week. Heat also stimulates hair growth, therefore hair grows quicker in summer than in winter. With regular waxing the length of time between treatments will increase and the hair is generally finer. Eventually some hair never grows back. It is generally recommended that your hair is at least 7 millimeters minimal before you have a wax

What guidelines should I follow to minimize irritation and possible break-outs after waxing?

Avoid the sun immediately after waxing. Recently waxed areas are prone to Hyper-pigmentation (permanent darkening of the skin) if exposed to the sun.

Avoid heavy exercise for at least 24 hours after waxing.

Avoid saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools and other heated sources for at least 48 hours.

Do not use exfoliating products (AHA’s, scrubs, etc.) and loofahs at least 24 hours after waxing.

Avoid tight clothing after waxing, especially in the waxed areas. Tight clothing may cause irritation and ingrown hairs.

Routine waxing helps the skin get accustomed to the procedure and may minimize irritation.

We recommend that you do not wear any foundation after a face wax as it might cos skin irritations and small pimples.
