Most clients enjoy smooth results for about three to six weeks, depending on hair growth cycle, hormonal factors, and skin type. Regular waxing can slow regrowth over time. We recommend scheduling maintenance every four to six weeks for consistent results.

Some discomfort is normal, but pain is usually brief and manageable. We use warm wax, skilled technique, and can suggest pre-treatment exfoliation or topical numbing. Aftercare like cool compresses and avoiding heat reduces irritation and speeds comfort recovery.

Clean, dry skin with hair about ¼ inch long is ideal. Avoid heavy lotions, recent sun exposure, or chemical exfoliants for 48 hours. Gentle exfoliation 24 hours prior helps lift hairs. Inform us about medications or skin treatments to prevent irritation.

Yes, in many cases. Tell your esthetician about sensitivities and any allergies beforehand. We offer hypoallergenic or hard wax options and can perform a patch test to check tolerance. If you’re on certain medications, waxing might be contraindicated—consult with us first.

Apply a cool compress and a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer. Avoid hot baths, saunas, heavy exercise and sun exposure for 24–48 hours. Resume gentle exfoliation after 48 hours to prevent ingrown hairs. Contact us for any prolonged redness or irritation.

Typical appointments take 15–30 minutes depending on hair density and whether one or both half arms are treated. First-time clients or combined services may need up to 45 minutes. We recommend arriving a few minutes early for a brief consultation.
