Good prep makes waxing more comfortable and lowers the chance of redness or irritation. Results usually last three to six weeks, depending on the area and your hair growth.
Before your appointment
- Let hair grow to about a quarter inch, roughly two to three weeks after shaving.
- Stop retinol, tretinoin and strong exfoliating acids on the area for several days. Tell us if you use them. They can make skin lift with the wax.
- Avoid sunburn or tanning on the area.
- Skip heavy lotion on the day of your visit.
After your appointment
For the next 24 hours, avoid:
- Hot showers, baths, saunas and steam rooms
- Intense workouts and heavy sweating
- Tight, rough clothing on the waxed area
- Direct sun and tanning
Common prices
Eyebrow waxing is $12, upper lip is $8 and a full face is $50. Body waxing runs from $20 for underarms to $75 for full legs, and a Brazilian is $65.
Why we use two kinds of wax
We use hard wax on the face and sensitive areas because it grips the hair, not the skin. Soft wax works better on larger areas like legs and arms. Your technician picks the right one for each area.
