Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Brazilian wax?
A Brazilian wax removes hair from your belly button around to your tail bone. You may chose to take it all off, or to leave a shape or landing strip on the front. Please be specific with your esthetician about what you'd like.
How long does my hair need to be?
Please make sure your hair is 1/4" long (we say that's about a grain of rice). If your hair is longer, we will gladly trim it for you before your wax.
Does waxing hurt?
There is a level of discomfort associated with waxing, but we promise to remove your hair as painlessly as possible. You are in the hands of experienced estheticians and the process is only minority painful. For an additional cost, we offer numbing cream kits. If you'd like to use one, please show up 20 minutes before your service to allow time for it to work. You can also take a low dose of ibuprofen 20-30 minutes before your treatment. Waxing regularly will decrease your discomfort.
Should I shower before my appointment?
You may feel most comfortable if you're fresh for your appointment. Don't worry if you don't have time. We offer wipes for your convenience.
Can I get waxed if I begin my period before my appointment?
Yes of course! We highly recommend scheduling your wax for the week after your menstruation if possible. It's best not to schedule waxing while your are menstruating because you will likely experience more discomfort. If the timing is off, we just ask that you wear a clean tampon. We do offer fresh wipes and feminine care items in the salon and are glad to accommodate you.
What type of wax do you use?
We use hard wax for coarse hair and sensitive areas. For fine hair, we use strip wax. If you have a preference or any questions about our wax, please ask your esthetician at the time of your appointment.
Can I wax if I'm pregnant?
Waxing is completely safe during pregnancy. If you have any concerns, please contact your doctor before your visit.
How old do I have to be to get waxed?
We will wax anyone age 10+. If you are under 18, you must have a parent/guardian sign a release to approve the treatments. This form will be filed for future appointments.
