In the area where you intend to wax, your hair needs to be at least ¼ inch. That’s about the length of a grain of rice. Generally, it takes about 3-4 weeks of not shaving for hair to grow to this length. Hair that is shorter is not long enough for the wax to shrink wrap around and be pulled out.

To provide a high level of service, all appointments must be booked online in advance. This way I can prepare for your specific needs.

Absolutely! I do require that you wear a fresh tampon for sanitary purposes. I do have those available in the suite if you need one. Also be aware, due to hormones, your service may be more uncomfortable during this time.  It’s not an absolute, but a definite possibility. Some people notice no difference during their cycle while others report a huge difference in pain/discomfort.

1. While waxing is generally safe for most people, there are some cases where it may not be recommended. You should avoid waxing if you:

2. Are using certain medications – Prescription acne treatments like Accutane or topical retinoids (Retin-A, Differin, Tazorac) can make the skin more sensitive and prone to lifting.

3. Have sunburned or irritated skin – Waxing over damaged skin can cause further irritation and discomfort.

4. Have certain skin conditions – Conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or open wounds in the area being waxed can lead to irritation or complications.

5. Have diabetes or circulation issues – These conditions can affect healing and increase the risk of infection, so check with a doctor before waxing.

6. Are undergoing cancer treatments – Chemotherapy and radiation can make the skin extremely sensitive and fragile.

7. Have recently had certain skin treatments – Chemical peels, laser treatments, or microdermabrasion can make the skin more prone to lifting.

8. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to consult with your wax specialist or a doctor before booking your appointment!
