Waxing Guide: What to Expect, Pre-Care & Aftercare

​

How Long Does Waxing Last?

Waxing results typically last 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your personal hair growth cycle. Most clients notice little to no regrowth during the first 1–2 weeks, with new growth appearing more noticeably by weeks 3–4. With consistent appointments, hair often grows back finer and more slowly over time.

​

Pre-Care: Preparing for Your Wax

A little preparation makes your waxing experience smoother and more comfortable:

• Take a warm shower before your wax to open pores and soften the skin.

• Exfoliate gently with a loofah or scrub to help prevent ingrown hairs.

• Avoid lotions, gels, or oils before your appointment, as they can interfere with the wax.

• Skip tanning 24 hours before waxing, since it can increase skin sensitivity.

​

Aftercare: Protecting Your Skin Post-Wax

To keep your skin smooth and irritation-free after your wax:

• Avoid hot showers, saunas, or hot tubs for at least 24 hours.

• Skip the gym or heavy sweating for 24 hours to prevent irritation.

• Do not touch or pick at freshly waxed areas.

• Apply a soothing lotion or aloe gel to calm the skin.

• Exfoliate gently starting 2–3 days after waxing to help prevent ingrown hairs.

• Always wear SPF on exposed skin to protect your results.
