To prepare for you wax, clean and gently exfoliate the area the night before. Keep the area free of lotions, oils, makeup and deodorant.

Waxing can cause some discomfort, as hair is being removed from the root. However, the level of pain varies from person to person, and it tends to diminish with regular waxing.

Waxing results typically last between 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. It is longer-lasting compared to shaving, which only removes hair from the surface.

Ideally, your hair should be about 1/4 inch, or about the size of a grain of rice, for effective waxing. This allows the wax to adhere properly and facilitate hair removal.

Yes, you can wax if you have sensitive skin. However, it's important to inform your esthetician about your skin sensitivity so they can choose the appropriate waxing technique and take extra care during the process.

To prevent ingrown hairs, start exfoliating the waxed areas 24-48 hours after your wax. Exfoliate regularly about 3-4 times a week to remove dead skin cells and keep hair follicles clear. Avoid tight clothing and moisturize the waxed area with products recommended by your esthetician to keep the skin hydrated.

Yes, waxing can be done during pregnancy. However, it's advisable to consult with your doctor or a professional esthetician and inform them about your pregnancy to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. Waxing while pregnant may also cause a little extra discomfort and post wax redness on the skin.

The frequency of waxing depends on individual hair growth and personal preference. Generally, waxing every 4 to 6 weeks is recommended to maintain smooth skin.

Some negative results of waxing can be any of the following: bumps, pustules, ingrown hairs, lifted skin, histamine reactions, allergic reactions, torn skin, burns, bruising, irritation and discomfort. Many of these are prevented by proper technique, quality products and proper aftercare. Things such as histamine or allergic reactions cannot always be prevented or predicted though they are usually treatable.

In order for your esthetician to perform a sugar waxing service on you, they have to evaluate your hair and make sure you are a good candidate. Your hair has to be no longer or shorter than a grain of rice. If your hair is too long or short, the sugar paste may not be able to fully grip the hair correctly, causing a painful and incomplete service. If the esthetician believes your hair is too long or too coarse, they may recommended that you instead do hard waxing and try again in 3 weeks.

Choosing sugaring over hard waxing can be a personal preference, but there are distinct benefits to consider. Sugaring is often preferred for its natural ingredients, typically consisting of sugar, lemon, and water, making it gentler on the skin and suitable for those with sensitive skin. Unlike hard wax, sugaring adheres only to the hair and not the skin, and has no heat, reducing pain and minimizing the risk of irritation. Sugaring grabs hair at shorter lengths, allowing you to wax more often (leading to quicker results and less ingrowns). Sugaring also has no heat.
On the other hand, Hard waxing is a much quicker service, and some feel that the low heat of the hard wax makes the service feel more luxurious, and even comforting. Hard waxing can also be a bit more convenient, as it also allows you to get waxed even if your hair is very long.
Both options are great options for hair removal, because at the end of the day, they both pull the hair from the root! Discuss with your esthetician what she recommends based on your hair and waxing-wants!

Absolutely! Men have body hair too! Its all preference of how we prefer to groom ourselves.

Ingrown hairs are totally normal after a wax, but can be prevented. When waxing, our hair is being pulled from the root, beneath the skin. The hair has to actually grow back up and pop its way back through a pore in our skin. The way to prevent it from getting stuck under our skin is by making sure to follow the aftercare our esthetician has recommended to us. To sum up aftercare: Exfoliate 3-4 times a week, Moisturize daily, wear breathable and loose(er) undies, and stick to a waxing routine.
