Waxing FAQs: Your Top Questions About Hair Removal at Our Salon
How should I prepare for a waxing appointment?
Proper preparation is key to ensuring your waxing session is as effective and comfortable as possible. We advise letting your hair removal area grow out to about a quarter of an inch—roughly the length of a grain of rice—before your visit. On the day of your appointment, apply a light, non-greasy moisturizer, but avoid heavily fragranced lotions or oils. Also, please steer clear of tanning beds for at least 48 hours beforehand to protect your skin.
Does waxing hurt, and how long does it last?
We won't lie—you'll feel a quick sting, especially during your first few sessions! However, our expert technicians are trained to work quickly and efficiently to minimize discomfort. When done consistently, waxing causes the hair to grow back finer and sparser, making future hair removal sessions much easier. You can generally expect your skin to remain beautifully smooth for about three to four weeks, depending on your individual growth cycle.
What's the best aftercare for waxed skin?
After your waxing appointment, your skin will be a little sensitive, so good aftercare is vital. For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid intense heat, such as hot tubs, saunas, and intense sun exposure, to prevent irritation. To tackle ingrown hairs, we recommend gentle exfoliation a few days later, followed by regular moisturizing. This routine helps the new, finer hairs emerge easily and keeps your skin feeling soft and healthy after hair removal.
When is it not recommended to get a waxing service?
While waxing is a fantastic hair removal method for most people, there are times when we recommend holding off on your appointment. If you are currently using certain topical medications like Retin-A, or have recently completed an Accutane course, your skin will be too sensitive for waxing. We also recommend rescheduling if you have any sunburn, open cuts, or an active rash in the area, as waxing could cause unnecessary trauma to the skin.
If you are looking for long-lasting smoothness that shaving simply can’t deliver, we encourage you to try one of our professional waxing services. Our team is committed to providing you with a gentle, hygienic, and highly effective hair removal experience. At Bedazzled Nails and Bar, we ensure you’ll leave feeling sleek and confident.
