First, good choice booking this wax. You’ll want to have at least 2 weeks of hair growth. If it is too short, the wax won’t grab the hair. Exfoliate the night before your wax to prep the skin. I promise it makes a huge difference. I’m not a doctor and cannot recommend medications, but I hear taking Tylenol a few hours before your wax helps;).

First you’ll give yourself a pat on the back for surviving the wax. Second, you’ll want to keep the area clean and dry for the next 48 hours. So no working out, swimming/saunas/hot tubs, sexual activity, basically anything that would cause friction or make you sweat. Then in 48 hours start exfoliating and moisturizing, preferably using the recommended products I carry in my shop.

Yes! At least if you want to get your money’s worth with the best results. Think about it like going to the gym. If you only work out once a month will you see results? I only see you every 4-6 weeks, so you need to take proper care of your waxed skin in order to get the optimal results.

I primarily use soft wax, but I keep premium quality hard wax on hand for those that need it. If you have heard that soft wax should never be used for brazilians or that it rips off skin, fun fact, that was a marketing ploy from a major hard wax company! Soft wax is 100% safe to use on all parts of the body with proper prep, and trust me, I know how to work with soft wax safely.

If any of the following applies to you, I am unable to wax you.

• Accutane within last 6-12 months

• Any medication that affects skin sensitivity

• Use of retinol, acids, strong acne or anti-aging treatments within the last 5-7 days

• Sunburn

• Open cuts or burns

• Chemical peel, laser treatments or microneedling within 2 weeks

You can wax on your period (with a tampon in) and during pregnancy, you might just be a little more sensitive. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me.

No! At least not without proper aftercare. This is a common misconception and false advertising that I can’t stand. Waxing alone will not magically give skin a silky smooth texture. Skin has pores, dryness and texture; it’s just natural. But, there are things we can do! Consistent waxing and proper aftercare will give you as smooth skin as an adult can have!

Because I’m better! Just kidding. But seriously, a boutique, small waxing studio can offer comforts and luxuries that speed waxing chains simply can’t. That said, there are ways I can’t compete with bigger chains. I’m just one gal and don’t have completely open availability, and I might not always be available for walk ins. But if you value a cute space, proper time spent with you and personalized care that chains don’t offer, book with me.

Contrary to popular belief, no! Causing clients pain is the least enjoyable part of my job, so I prioritize your comfort above all else.
