Typically regrowth takes three to six weeks, depending on hair cycle and personal growth rate. With regular waxing, hair often grows back finer and sparser. Individual results vary; follow aftercare helps reduce irritation and extend smoothness.

No—waxing removes hair from the root and does not change hair color or thickness. Some perceive regrowth as coarser after shaving; waxing encourages finer, slower regrowth. Consistent treatments can soften texture and lessen density over months.

Sensitivity varies—clients may feel brief discomfort during hair removal, but our gentle technique, skin prep, and calming aftercare reduce pain. We adjust temperature and method for sensitive skin and can provide numbing options or patch tests if needed.

Exfoliate gently two to three days prior and avoid heavy creams or sun exposure. Ensure hair is about quarter-inch long. Hydrate and arrive with clean, product-free skin. Inform your technician about medications or skin conditions before waxing.

Avoid hot showers, saunas, and heavy sweating for 24 hours. Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers and avoid exfoliation for 48 hours. Apply soothing gel or aloe for redness. Wear breathable fabrics and skip strong actives until skin fully calms.

Tell your esthetician about any topical retinoids, acne treatments, or prescription creams. Certain medications increase sensitivity and risk of skin damage; you may need to pause treatments several days to weeks prior. We'll advise based on your specific products and timing.
