FAQ

Does waxing hurt?

Waxing can cause some discomfort since the hair is removed from the root, but the level of pain really depends on the person. Factors like your skin sensitivity, the area being waxed, and whether it’s your first time can all play a role.

Most clients find the sensation more tolerable after a few sessions because the hair grows back finer and the follicles weaken over time.

Results from waxing typically last between 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the area treated and your individual hair growth cycle.

Consistency is key—maintaining a regular waxing schedule not only ensures smoother results but also helps the hair grow back finer and softer over time. Your personal skincare routine, including exfoliation and hydration, can also influence how long your results last.

Waxing may not be safe if you are currently using certain medications or topical treatments that thin or sensitize the skin, such as Accutane, Retin-A, or other strong exfoliants.

If you’re unsure, always let me know about any medications, skin concerns, or recent treatments before your appointment so I can make sure waxing is safe for you.
