Traditional Waxing commonly uses a soft wax that is applied to the skin and then removed with a cloth or paper strip. This type of waxing is great for larger areas such as arms and legs, as it allows for quick application and removal. However, traditional waxing can potentially irritate the skin, particularly in more sensitive areas, as it adheres not only to the hair but also to the skin.

On the other hand, European Waxing utilizes hard wax which is directly applied to the skin and removed without the use of strips. This method is gentler on the skin as the hard wax only adheres to the hair, making it an ideal choice for more sensitive areas like the bikini line and face. European waxing may take slightly longer than traditional waxing due to its precise nature, but it often results in less redness and irritation after the treatment.

Everyone's pain threshold is different, and while waxing can cause some discomfort, most people find it tolerable. The discomfort is often compared to the sensation of removing a band-aid. Our experienced aestheticians are trained to make the process as comfortable as possible!

How long should I wait between waxing sessions?

The typical growth cycle for hair is around 4-6 weeks, so that is usually a good timeframe for appointments. However, everyone's hair growth is different; you should wait until your hair grows back to at least 1/4 of an inch before your next waxing session – this is typically the minimum length for the wax to effectively remove the hair.

What should I do to prepare for a waxing session?

To prepare for a waxing session, make sure your hair is at least 1/4 inch long, which is the ideal length for the wax to grip and remove the hair. Avoid applying creams, lotions or oils to your skin on the day of your appointment as they can prevent wax from adhering properly. Finally, gently exfoliate your skin a day or two before the appointment to remove dead skin cells and allow for a smoother waxing experience.

How does waxing work?

Waxing is a popular method of hair removal that efficiently removes hair from the root, providing a long-lasting smooth result. It works by applying a layer of wax onto the skin and then swiftly removing it along with the unwanted hair stuck to it. The wax adheres to the hair, and when it is pulled off, it takes the hair with it right from the hair follicle.

This entire process of hair removal at the root level ensures longer-lasting results as compared to shaving or using hair removal creams.
What are the benefits of waxing?

The major benefits of waxing include long-lasting smoothness, finer hair regrowth, and a potential decrease in hair growth over time. Because the hair is pulled out from the root, it takes longer for hair to grow back, usually between 3-6 weeks, resulting in smoothness that lasts significantly longer than shaving. Waxing also tends to make hair grow back finer and thinner over time because the repeated process can damage the hair follicle, leading to less regrowth.

Additionally, waxing can exfoliate and improve skin texture by removing the top layer of dead skin cells along with hair.
Who is an ideal candidate for waxing?

A good candidate for waxing is anyone who wants a long-term solution for hair removal, has strong, coarse hair, or has hair in areas they cannot easily reach themselves. However, having a certain level of hair growth, approximately 1/4th of an inch, prior to the appointment is essential for the wax to effectively grab onto and remove it.

Individuals with sensitive skin may also consider waxing, but with caution and consultation as the process can cause temporary redness or sensitivity.
