Frequently Asked Questions
This is my first time waxing, how long should the hair be?
For effective hair removal, we suggest that your hair be at least 1/4 of an inch long which is about the length of a grain of rice, or 2-3 weeks worth of hair growth from your last shave or trim.
Does it hurt?
Pain varies from person to person. Waxing consistently tends to make it more tolerable. If you’re nervous or have a low pain tolerance, you can always take a pain reliever 30 minutes before your appointment to minimize discomfort. The actual waxing only lasts a few minutes.

How often should I wax?
Every 3-4 weeks for best results. Do not shave between services.
