Clean, dry skin and hair about a quarter-inch long make waxing most effective. Avoid heavy exfoliation, tanning, or retinoids 48 hours prior. Consider ibuprofen if sensitive, and wear loose clothing to reduce friction afterward.

Some discomfort is normal, especially on initial visits, but pain varies by individual, area, and technician speed. We use gentle techniques, warming wax, and soothing aftercare to minimize pain. Regular waxing can reduce sensitivity over time.

Most clients enjoy smooth results for three to six weeks, depending on individual hair growth cycles and maintenance. Regular appointments can lengthen intervals between sessions as hair grows finer. We recommend scheduling based on personal regrowth patterns.

Avoid shaving between appointments: waxing removes hair from the root and shaving disrupts regrowth patterns. If you must remove stray hair, trim gently with scissors to maintain length. Consistent waxing preserves smoother results and reduces irritation compared to shaving.

Keep the area clean and avoid heat, sweating, swimming, and tight clothing for 24-48 hours. Use gentle exfoliation after 48 hours and apply calming lotions or aloe. Avoid sun exposure and chemical exfoliants for several days to reduce irritation.

Generally yes, but consult your provider if complications exist. Increased sensitivity and circulation during pregnancy can make waxing more uncomfortable. Technicians use extra care and positioning for comfort. Breastfeeding is usually fine; inform us of medications or conditions beforehand.
