Arrive with clean, dry skin. Gently exfoliate two to three days before and avoid heavy lotions, retinoids, or recent sun exposure. Mention any skin treatments or medications when booking to ensure a safe, tailored service.

No — waxing removes hair from the root and does not change its color or thickness. Over time regrowth often appears finer. Hormonal factors may influence hair characteristics, so individual results can vary.

Results usually last three to six weeks depending on your natural hair growth cycle, hormones, and individual rate of regrowth. Regular waxing sessions can extend the time between appointments as hair becomes finer.

We use gentle products and patch tests when needed, but waxing may not be suitable for active rosacea, open wounds, sunburn, or recent isotretinoin use. Disclose sensitivities and conditions during booking so we can advise appropriately.

Sensation is brief and varies by individual. Estheticians use techniques to minimize discomfort, like holding the skin taut and quick removal. Pre-care, breathing, and soothing aftercare also help reduce any temporary soreness.

Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, heavy makeup and strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours. Apply a soothing gel or moisturizer and gently exfoliate after 48 hours to prevent ingrown hairs. Contact us if irritation persists.
