 Waxing Frequently Asked Questions

“How long should my hair be before getting waxed?

  • Your hair should be at least 1/4 inches long.

“Can I still get a Brazilian if I am on my menstrual cycle?”

  • Absolutely! As long as you place in a new tampon right before your appointment starts or use a menstrual cup during. However, you are more sensitive during this time & at least 3 days before your cycle starts.

  • Schedule your wax appointment accordingly if you know you tend to be more sensitive during your cycle.

“Can I still get a Brazilian Wax if I am pregnant?”

  • Definitely! You can still get waxed when you’re pregnant unless your Doctor advises you not to.

  • I always suggest to start waxing in your early stages so that you get used to the wax by the time you are in your last trimester.

  • After birth, wait at least 8 weeks before you come in for your next wax appointment.

“What is sugaring?”

  • Sugaring is an Ancient Egyptian method of hair removal that is gaining popularity in the United States as a luxury alternative to waxing. Sometimes called sugar waxing, sugaring is a gentle, effective, and all natural solution to unwanted hair. Sugar paste is made of three ingredients (sugar, lemon juice, and water) and contains no additives or resins. There are no sticks or strips. It is applied and removed via a professional hand technique that takes time and dedication to master.

“How is sugaring different than waxing?”

  • Wax removes hair in the opposite direction of growth, which can be very painful and lead to follicle scarring, and can cause those nasty painful ingrown hair bumps that everyone dreads. Wax contains resins and additives, which can cause irritation. Because wax is applied hot, it can cause painful burns or tearing of sensitive areas.

    Conversely, when we sugar, we use a paste made from just sugar, water, and lemon juice. Since there are no resins, it won’t stick to the skin, just hair! It is removed in the direction of hair growth, and applied at body temperature. There is no chance of burns or tearing with sugaring.
