Some prescription medications, including certain antibiotics and acne treatments, can make your skin more sensitive and may mean waxing isn’t appropriate.

Always let us know about medications and topical prescriptions before your service—even if they aren’t being used directly on the area being waxed. When in doubt, check with your prescribing provider before your appointment.

Absolutely. If you’re getting a Brazilian or bikini wax, just arrive wearing a fresh tampon or menstrual cup. Your skin can be a little more sensitive before and during your period, so your wax may feel slightly more uncomfortable than usual, but there’s no need to cancel your appointment.

We recommend that you don’t. Shaving between waxes cuts the hair back to the surface and can throw off the consistent growth you’re working toward.

For the smoothest, most consistent results, skip the razor and let your hair grow until your next wax, even if you have a few stragglers in between.

We recommend avoiding significant sun exposure before your appointment, especially if your skin is red, tender, or sunburned—we will never wax over sunburned or compromised skin.

If you’re getting a spray tan, wax first. Waxing naturally exfoliates the skin and can remove some of an existing spray tan, so schedule your spray tan after your wax for a more even result.

Come in with clean, dry skin and, if possible, no products on the area being waxed. That means skipping moisturizer, body oil, and deodorant on the areas we’ll be waxing.

Don’t worry if you’re coming straight from work or somewhere else; we’ll cleanse and prep your skin before we get started.

Your hair needs to be ¼ inch long to wax it. If you’ve been shaving, let it grow out for about two weeks. Please also avoid trimming!

To prevent ingrown hairs, wait about three days after your wax, then gently exfoliate two to three times a week.

Just remember, more isn’t better; scrubbing too aggressively can irritate your skin.
