Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long should my hair be before waxing?

For the best results. hair should be approximately 1/4 inch long (about the length of a grain of rice). This typically means alllowing 3-4 weeks of growth after shaving or waxing. Hair that’s too short may be difficult for the wax to grab, so a little extra growth is always better than not enough! The longer the better!

2.) Does waxing hurt?

Well everyone’s pain tolerance is different. Most clients find waxing becomes a lot easier with regular appointments. It will never be painless, but it becomes A LOT more bearable over time. If it’s your first wax, don’t worry! I’ll guide you through the process and do my best to make you feel comfortable and at ease throughout our time together. We’ll be besties by the end!

3.) Can i get waxed on my period?

Absolutely! You can still receive a brazilian or bikini wax during your period. I simply ask that you wear a fresh tampon (I have available for you) or menstrual cup for your appointment. Keep in mind your skin may be a little more sensitive during this time.

4.) How often should I book my waxing appointments?

For most clients, every 4-6 weeks is ideal depending on individual hair growth. Staying consistent with your appointments helps maintain smoother results and can make waxing more comfortable over time.

5.) What should I avoid after waxing?

For the first 24-48 hours, avoid using any scented products on the waxed area, any lotions, creams, cleansers or soaps. Keep the area clean, avoid touching, and wear loose-fitting clothing. Avoid hot tubs, saunas, hot showers/baths, intense exercise, and anything that causes excessive sweating or friction. Once your skin has settled gentle exfoliation and moisturizing can help prevent ingrown hairs.

6.) Do you offer waxing aftercare products?

Absolutely! Proper aftercare is an important part of keeping your skin smooth and happy between waxing appointments. I proudly carry a selection of Bush Balm products designed to help prevent and treat ingrown hairs, gently exfoliate, hydrate, and improve the appearance of dark spots. Whether you’re new to waxing or looking to improve your aftercare routine, i’m always happy to help you find the right products for your skin!

7.) Can I have a pedicure if I have gel polish on my toes?

Yes! If you currently have gel polish on your toenails, please mention this when booking so enough time can be allowed for removal. Additional time or a removal fee may apply.

8.) Do I need to prepare my skin before a facial?

There’s very little preparation needed! I recommend avoiding strong exfoliating products and retinoids for a few days before your appointment, unless otherwise directed. Please let me know about any allergies, sensitivites, medications, or recent skin treatments so I can tailor your facial appropriately. You’ll receive an email a few days before your appointment with some general questions for you to answer, so I can prepare as much as possible ahead of time so you can spend more time enjoying your time here.

Still have questions? I’m always happy to help! Feel free to get in touch before booking your appointment.
