- What makes waxing different from shaving? Waxing provides smoother and longer lasting results by removing the hair from the root, whereas shaving cuts the hair right below the skin’s surface, causing a prickly feel days after shaving. Waxing is also healthier because it provides a physical exfoliation, removing lifeless surface cells. In other words, waxing will give you the smoothest skin – and the smoothest experience.
- What makes waxing different from hair removal creams? Waxing provides smoother and longer lasting results by removing the hair from the root. Chemical creams only remove the hair right below the skin’s surface. Just be warned, these can be very irritating to the skin as the cream can cause burning if left on for too long.
- What happens after my first wax? Your first wax removes the majority of hair that has grown above the skin. Because hairs grow in different cycles, your subsequent waxes will remove the hairs that were still growing below the skin’s surface but have now sprouted above the skin. After three to four waxes, all of your hairs should be growing in the same cycle, resulting in longer lasting smooth skin. Your Consistency pays off!!! Once your first wax is out of the way, every reservation gets easier and easier as long as you DON'T SHAVE. If you shave, the next wax will likely feel just like the first. Additionally, shaving between waxes can make you susceptible to itching, or worse… ingrown hairs. Plus, shaving is just irritating and time-consuming. So put the razor down babe!
- How long should I wait between waxes?
We recommend getting waxed once your hair has grown to be at least a ¼ inch long. Usually your wax will last from three to four weeks, but everyone’s rate of re-growth is different so results will vary between guests. But remember, with the right products, you can help your skin stay smoother, longer. Just ask and we will try our best point you in the right direction.
