FAQ

  • WAXING
    Prep: Your hair should be at least the length of a grain of rice or a sprinkle. If it’s shorter, the wax may not be able to grip the hair effectively, which could lead to incomplete removal. It's preferable to have your hair slightly longer rather than too short. If you're uncertain about the length, it's advisable to avoid trimming. Refrain from exfoliating the skin 2-3 days before your waxing appointment, regardless of the body area being treated. Avoid using body oils, lotions, and deodorants on the day of your appointment. Keep your skin moisturized to prevent hair breakage and the occurrence of ingrown hairs. Discontinue the use of retinol or retinoids, blood thinners and numbing creams at least a week prior to your appointment. Avoid medications like Accutane that can affect skin sensitivity for at least a month before waxing. Avoid sunburned skin for your appointment, as sunburn can make your skin more sensitive and prone to irritation Aftercare: Full body waxing generally needs to be done every 4 weeks, the frequency may vary depending on the specific area and your previous hair removal. Consistency in waxing sessions is crucial for achieving the best results. To prevent ingrown hairs, exfoliate your skin 2-3 times a week. However, wait 2-3 days after your service before you begin exfoliating. For 24 hours after your waxing appointment, steer clear of activities that may cause friction, wear tight clothing, engage in sweating, and visit pools, saunas, or tanning beds. Additionally, try to avoid intense workouts. The waxed area may be sensitive and/or tender, so it's essential to prevent any irritation. Other important information: It’s completely acceptable to get waxed during your menstrual cycle. You might experience slight increased sensitivity, but taking a pain reliever can help alleviate any discomfort. Waxing is generally safe throughout pregnancy, no matter what stage you’re in.
  • How long will it take for my hair to grow back?
    It's different for everyone, in the beginning of your wax journey you'll typically see new hair growth 5-10 days after your wax.
  • Is waxing painful?
    In a one word answer, yes. Waxing removes hairs directly from your follicle. The sensation will vary depending on your skin, your hair and your general pain tolerance and your mindset- yes it matters! The wax we use is specialized for people with sensitive skin, it will be less painful than other waxes
  • How often should I get waxed?
    Allow at least 3-4 weeks of hair growth before a brazilian or the following areas: Legs Arms Butt Stomach Inner Thigh Chest Back Allow yourself to have 2-3 weeks of hair growth before your next appointment for: Underarms Upper Lip Eyebrows Chin Nose Ears Sideburns Cheeks Hairline
  • Will my hair thin out over time?
    Yes! With consistent waxing, the hair will get thinner and more sparse- less unforgiving! In return, this leads to decreased discomfort over time.
  • Can I get a Brazilian wax during my menstrual cycle or during pregnancy?
    Totally! While on your period, you'll need to wear a clean tampon or cup for us to perform the service. *There are always tampons and wipes provided to you in the bathroom for your comfort. If you're uncomfortable getting a wax during this time, you're more than welcome to reschedule (at least 6 hours in advance). During pregnancy your sensitivity will be heightened, to Brazilians in particular, but is still tolerable and totally safe for mom and baby!
  • SPRAY TAN
    Prep: Prior to your tan, exfoliate your skin the day before, making sure to include any hair removal. Arrive to your appointment with clean skin. If needed, take a shower using only water to ensure there’s no lotions, perfumes, oils or deodorants, as this can lead to uneven development of the tan. Opt for loose-fitting clothing. Its best to wear/bring a dark loose outfit. Any solution that may get on your clothes/sheets will wash out. Aftercare: Refrain from water and skin-to-skin contact until it’s time for your instructed shower. Shower at planned time, use cool water to rinse and always pat dry- do not rub when exiting the shower. Apply lotion daily to promote hydrated skin and to preserve the DHA (tanning agent). Anticipate your tan to last 7-12 days. During this time, avoid waxing, shaving, excessive sweating, hot showers/baths and exposure to salt water to preserve the longevity of your custom spray tan.
  • FACIALS
    Prep: Stop using retinoids, acids (glycolic acid, salicylic acid etc.), or prescription skincare products a few days before your facial, as they can increase skin sensitivity. Refrain from using scrubs and exfoliating products a few days prior to your facial to prevent overstimulation of the skin. Avoid sun exposure before your facial to prevent sunburn and skin damage. It's best to arrive for your appointment without wearing any makeup or skincare products. Aftercare: Avoid touching your face to prevent introducing bacteria Avoid direct sun exposure- wear sunscreen! Refrain from applying makeup immediately after your facial to allow your skin to breathe and absorb the benefits of the treatment- change your pillowcase Avoid excessive exfoliation and ensure proper hydration after the treatment We look forward to seeing you again for your next facial in 6-8 weeks!
