Waxing is a form of semi-permanent hair removal which removes the hair from the root. New hair will not grow back in the previously waxed area for four to six weeks, although some people will start to see regrowth in only a week due to some of their hair being on a different human hair growth cycle. Eventually, after a few waxing sessions, the growth cycles will "catch-up" to each other resulting in longer lasting results and smooth soft skin! Almost any area of the body can be waxed including the pubic area (called Brazilian waxing). Strip waxing (soft wax) is accomplished by spreading a wax thinly over the skin. A cloth or paper strip is applied and pressed firmly, adhering the strip to the wax and the wax to the skin. The strip is then quickly ripped against the direction of hair growth which removes the wax along with the hair.

Strip-less wax-also referred to as hard wax, is a hot liquid wax that is applied somewhat thickly to the skin and begins to harden as it cools. It is then removed without the aid of a paper strip. This waxing method is very beneficial to people who have sensitive skin. Strip-less wax does not adhere to the skin as much as strip wax does, thus making it a good option for sensitive skin. This strip-less waxing method can also be less painful with our professional waxing services.

While everyone's pain tolerance is different, waxing can be uncomfortable at first and usually requires an adjustment period. The first time is usually the most painful because the hairs are "deep-rooted" and have been attached to your body for a long time. The good news is that it gets better! Even after one wax, the hairs will grow back thinner and softer which allows for easier removal your second-time around. With consistent waxing, your follicles will become damaged, and the blood supply to the damaged follicle becomes weakened. When the blood-supply is shortened, the hair growth becomes weak, resulting in hairs that are NOT deep-rooted, and therefore will be pulled out with ease at future wax sessions. This is a scientific fact! So stick with it! It will hurt less the more you do it.

Unfortunately this is quite common, especially on men with sensitive skin or coarse hair and deep roots. Many men only break out the first couple of times they wax. Once a person’s skin gets used to regular exfoliation and hair removal, breakouts often stop. You must adhere to all post waxing precautions after your service! You must absolutely never work-out after a wax! Doing so will almost ensure a breakout due to the bacteria (called Urea) that is in all sweat. In addition, your waxer will take precautions to prevent breakouts by treating the skin with antiseptic and antibacterial products. To further fight those little red and white bumps, use an anti-bac body wash in the shower, once the area has healed, continued use of exfoliation will further prevent these little breakouts from occurring.

In order to get optimal results with our quality waxing services, the hair must be 3/4 of an inch long. This is usually as long as a grain of rice. The amount of time to achieve this length varies for everyone, but it usually takes 3 weeks of NO SHAVING. However, it is important to remember that length not time is what's most important. Even if you have been growing it for 3 weeks, the hair needs to be long enough to pinch and pull with your fingertips-just like your eyebrow hairs. If you cannot grip the hair with your fingertips, it's not long enough and unfortunately, we will have to decline the waxing service.

Unfortunately, an audience is not allowed inside the room with you. This causes a distraction for both the client and the waxer. Only in the case of minors under the age of 16 is a parent or guardian invited in the room, but it is not required, however they will need to sign a consent form for anyone under 18 to be waxed.

In order to achieve optimal results with our professional waxing services, it is recommended that you continue waxing every 4-6 weeks depending on the individual’s growth cycle.

What is Sugaring? Sugaring is similar to our hard wax method, where hot melted sugar is used to pull out the hair without a strip. However, many of our clients report that sugaring does hurt more than traditional waxing due to the direction that the hair is pulled. Sugaring is best for those that do not already have thick course hair, and it is not recommended for the Brazilian area.

For thick course hair, or hair in the pubic area, Hard Wax is the most suitable choice for hair removal because it does not stick to the skin. Instead, it shrink-wraps around the hairs only allowing for a more gentle removal experience. Soft wax is another suitable option for long hairs that are deep-rooted, or for lighter, "peach-fuzz" hair. Soft wax is traditional wax, and is excellent at removing any hair, anywhere! Sugaring is made out of sugar and lemon, while most depilatory waxes are derived from Natural Pine Resin and Honey.
