Clean, dry skin and hair about quarter-inch long is ideal. Avoid deodorant or heavy lotions before the appointment. If you have sensitivities, inform your technician. Arrive a few minutes early to complete any paperwork.

You may feel brief stinging during hair removal, but most clients tolerate it well. We use warming techniques, quick strips, and numbing options on request to minimize discomfort. Regular waxing often reduces pain over time as hair thins.

Most clients enjoy smooth underarms for two to six weeks, depending on individual hair growth cycles and maintenance habits. Regular appointments can extend time between sessions as hair becomes finer and sparser over repeated waxing.

Avoid deodorant and antiperspirant immediately before waxing to ensure a clean surface. After treatment, wait at least 12–24 hours before applying products; use gentle, alcohol-free formulas to prevent irritation and follow our post-wax care recommendations.

Yes—active sunburns, open wounds, severe rashes, infections, or recent chemical peels make waxing unsafe. Inform your technician about medications and skin issues; we’ll assess suitability or recommend alternatives like trimming or delaying service until healed.

Keep the area clean and avoid hot showers, saunas, heavy exercise, and tight clothing for 24 hours. Apply soothing aloe or our recommended cooling lotion to reduce redness. Exfoliate gently after 48–72 hours to prevent ingrown hairs.
