Wax
Why Wax?
- Waxing is not only a good way to feel more confident, but it offers several benefits:
- Provides smoothness that lasts longer than shaving for about 2-3 weeks as it removes hair from the root. Depending on your hair type and thickness, this can even take up to 5 weeks!
- Over time, waxing can lead to finer and sparser hair regrowth.
- Removes dead, dry and damaged skin cells along with hair, leaving skin softer.
- Unlike shaving, it also promotes collagen production, is less likely to irritate your skin and there's less risk of nicks, cuts, or razor burns with waxing.
How Often Should You Wax?
The general rule of thumb is to get waxed every 2 – 5 weeks. After your first session, you may notice hair growth in a few days but this is nothing to worry about. All it means is that you had some hair that wasn’t long enough to get caught during the procedure.
The purpose of your second appointment will be to grab these hairs and get rid of them. You can go sooner if your hair starts to get unbearably annoying. The timing is different for every part of your body.
Face
The hair on your face grows back faster than it does on any other body part.
Underarms
When the hair on your underarms begins to grow, it will become obvious. To avoid having to wear sleeves in the summer, you should get your underarms waxed every 2 weeks.
Brazilian | Menzilian
Some individuals choose to wax their genital area for reasons such as aesthetics, personal preference or hygiene. To maintain a smooth feel, get your private parts waxed every 3 – 4 weeks.
Legs
Wax your legs every 3 – 4 weeks. There’s no sense in going sooner than that because there won’t be enough hair to remove.
Back
Men, you won’t have to go too often to get your back waxed. Every 4 – 6 weeks will do the trick. Some men choose to go every three weeks but it’s all up to personal preference.
What to do before your wax appointment!?
- Do NOT drink caffeine or alcohol prior to your appointment.
- Do NOT apply lotions, oils or moisturizers to the area before waxing, as they can interfere with the wax adhering to the hair.
- Clean the area thoroughly and gently exfoliate to remove dead skin cells. This helps in better hair removal and reduces the chances of ingrown hairs.
- Your hair should be about 1 cm long for optimal waxing.
- If you’re sensitive to pain, consider taking a pain reliever about 30 minutes before your waxing appointment.
- Try to relax before the waxing session to minimize discomfort. A deep breath or two can help ease nerves.
- Don’t hesitate & book your appointment right away!!
