Ideally hair should be 1/4 to 1/2 inch (about 6–12 mm) long so wax can grip effectively. If too short, waxing won’t remove hair properly; if too long, we may trim before treatment for comfort and better results.

Mild redness or sensitivity is common immediately after waxing but usually subsides within a day. To prevent ingrown hairs we exfoliate gently and recommend aftercare including regular exfoliation, moisturiser, and avoiding tight clothing for 24–48 hours.

Most clients enjoy smooth skin for three to six weeks depending on personal hair growth cycles. With consistent appointments every 4–6 weeks, hair often grows back finer and sparser, extending the smooth period and easing maintenance.

Yes, waxing is generally safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but sensitivity increases. We recommend informing your therapist, avoiding waxing during high-sensitivity periods, and patch testing if you’re unsure. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalised advice.

Exfoliate lightly 24–48 hours before, keep skin clean and dry, and avoid heavy moisturisers or tanning on the day. If hair is very long, we may trim slightly; arrive relaxed and wear loose clothing post-treatment.

Avoid sun, heat, and intense exercise for 24–48 hours to reduce irritation. Apply soothing aloe or a calming lotion we provide, exfoliate gently after 48 hours, and maintain appointments every 4–6 weeks to minimize ingrown hairs and ensure smoother regrowth.
