Waxing Hair Removal Services

Not a permanent solution, but great for a quick and easy fix - traditional waxing has been around for decades and is a great long-term solution for hair removal.

Waxing is done by applying warm wax to the skin in the desired area and shape. As the wax cools the skincare professional can apply cloth strips or paper and as it adheres to the hair the wax is pulled away quickly from the root. Waxing can be done by a professional in most cases anywhere from head to toe. For some people this is painless and for others is provides some discomfort only during the procedure. You may see some temporary redness around the area waxed for up to an hour, but it will dissipate quickly. All of this depends upon your skin type, your hair type, and the amount of hair being removed. Frequency of waxing will depend upon your hair growth patterns. For most people waxing is done every 4-6 weeks, it is not a permanent hair removal solution.

7 Reasons Why Waxing is a Good Option for Hair Removal

  1. Waxing is an affordable option to permanent hair removal treatments.

  2. Some people find waxing to be less painful than laser hair removal. It can cause discomfort, but it is over fairly quickly and numbing cream can be applied afterwards to ease any sting associated with waxing.

  3. Waxing can be used on almost all of the parts of the body from eyebrows to toes including sensitive areas such as the bikini line and genitals.

  4. Waxing is effective immediately and leaves skin smooth for up to 6 weeks since it removes the hair from the root.

  5. Waxing is also highly effective on every hair type from light to dark and fine to coarse

  6. Waxing is done fairly quickly and does not require any prep before the treatment like shaving or trimming. In fact, don’t shave or trim before waxing!

  7. Waxing rarely has any complications as it is mainly a topical hair removal solution

We always recommend talking to your skincare professional to determine a hair removal method that fits your needs and skin type, hair type, hair color, and hair growth patterns. Your skincare professional will help you pick a solution that is best for your desired results.

Frequently Asked Questions about Waxing

    The majority of the time we use strip wax because it gets more of the fine hair (except for the bikini area or any area with dark thick hair). For darker, thicker hair, hard wax is more efficient. Hard wax is also less harsh on the skin.

  • Threading is done just on the face/facial hair. It also removes hair by the hair follicle as a way to shape brows and temporarily remove facial hair. There’s no residue that is stuck to the skin, so no pulling of the skin. This can be a safer option for those with more sensitive skin.
