Question 1

How old I have to be to get a bikini wax or any other services?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

Does waxing hurts?

Accepted Answer

-Of course there is some pain involved as the hair follicle is larger than the pore it is coming out of but I strive to ensure your comfort throughout the entire process. I'll check in with you several times throughout the entire service and chat to keep your mind distracted.

Question 3

How can I prepare for my wax appointment?

Accepted Answer

-Before your appointment take a warm shower or bath to open the pores and do a glentle exfolitation a day prior to your appointment. Exfoliation will breakdown and loosen any built up dead skin cells around the base of the hair.

-Concerned about the potential pain, some clients take Tylenol or Ibuprofen 30 minutes before to help with pain
