Most clients enjoy smooth skin for three to six weeks, depending on individual hair growth, hormonal factors, and aftercare. Regular sessions can extend intervals as hair becomes finer; we recommend scheduling every four to six weeks for consistent results.

Some discomfort is normal, especially first time. We minimize pain with skin preparation, warm wax, quick technique, and soothing post-wax calming gels. Breathing, relaxation and a trained therapist help; most clients find subsequent sessions noticeably less uncomfortable.

Hair should be at least ¼ inch (about 6mm) long for the wax to grip effectively—usually two to three weeks of growth. If too short, wait until regrowth; if too long, we may trim slightly for comfort and better results.

Yes, but inform your therapist about sensitivity, allergies, or medications. We use gentle waxes and techniques, perform patch tests when needed, and provide calming aftercare. Avoid exfoliation or strong actives before your appointment to reduce irritation risk.

Avoid hot baths, tight clothing, sun exposure and intense exercise for 24-48 hours. Use gentle cleansers and recommended soothing lotions, exfoliate after 48 hours and maintain regular appointments. These steps prevent irritation, ingrown hairs, and prolong smoothness.

Shaving defeats waxing benefits; it removes hair at surface not root. If you must, avoid shaving within 48 hours prior to an appointment. Instead, maintain waxing schedule for best long-term results; trimming between sessions is acceptable.
