Come and Experience the Difference

I understand that you may be a little nervous in the build up to your treatment. That’s why I created an experience designed to put you at ease. Now, I am not gonna try and pretend waxing is the most relaxing treatment. You may never enjoy waxing in a way you would a massage or manicure, but that doesn’t mean you have to dread it.

From the moment you enter my spa you’ll have no doubts that you’re in the hands of a professional.

I am on a Mission

It’s my mission to provide unrivaled waxing and skincare experiences to every single client. I love to educate my guests and answer any questions they might have. I offer unique, thorough services that contrasts with the fast approach and poor results that many other spas offer. I don’t believe in the benefits or results of the 10-15 minute waxing treatments. They are hard on the skin and rarely deliver thorough hair removal. Instead, I choose to offer a premium experience tailored to the needs of my clientele.
Everyone I meet benefits from the consultative and individualized approach, and consistently enjoys incredible results. At the same time I am dedicated to providing best-in-sector training to other estheticians and spa owners who wish to provide the best possible service to their own clients.

Common waxing Questions

Guidelines for before your wax appointment:

  • If this is your first time waxing, we recommend receiving your 1st wax 5-6 weeks before you attend a special event or go on vacation, and see how your skin reacts. If everything is fine, schedule your next wax two-three days before your event or vacation

  • The ideal length of hair prior to wax, is 1/4 inch or longer (think lower lashes length)

  • In the days leading up to your appointment, be sure to exfoliate daily the body areas we are waxing. You can use a dry brush on a dry skin or a loofah sponge, against the hair growth

  • Exfoliated skin means faster service, less irritation and less hair breakage

  • Do not get a spray tan before or right after a waxing session. It’s best to wait a few days after any waxing service to ensure your skin won’t react or break out

Contraindications:

  • Please let us know if you are using any topically or orally prescription for acne or anti-aging medications, including but not limited to: Accutane, Retin-A, Retinols, tazorac/avage, isotretinoin, prescription strength AHA's (Glycolic, Lactic, Salicylic acid).

    Doctors typically advice their patients to not receive any body or face waxing services. These medications can weaken the skin and lead to tearing and scarring of the skin. We regret to inform you that no waxing services will be performed on any clients using the above medications and we will need to have a phone consultation to discuss further

  • Don’t use any advanced skin care products such as Obagi, Vitamin A creams or any face prescription creams for at least 4 days before & after any facial or waxing treatment. Your skin is tender after wax; these ingredients will make your skin react and cause sensitivities

  • Don’t wax two weeks before and/or two weeks after any injections, such as Botox and Restylane.

  • Don’t get any face wax 7–10 days before & after a chemical peel, microdermabrasion or facial laser treatment

  • No waxing or facial services of any kind will be performed on clients with a cold sore breakout on the day of the appointment (Herpes simplex I)

How long does it last? 

The results can last between two to three weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. Within few appointments you'll notice less hair regrowth and the hair texture will be much finer. We recommend waxing every four to five weeks.

Avoid shaving or trimming the hair between waxing appointments. Shaving disrupts the waxing results and causes the hair root inside the follicle to become thick again, making your waxing experience more painful. Shaving between waxing sessions might also cause you to have more ingrown hairs. For ultimate results try to wax for at least three to four consecutive months, without shaving in between, and we promise - your results will be incredible!

Does it hurt? 

Some pain is to be expected with waxing. But we think the worst part is the anticipation. The good news is that our advanced waxing techniques minimizes any discomfort as much as possible. We will make you feel comfortable, relaxed and try not to rush during the session. Once your first time is over and you understand what to expect, it’s a breeze! To be honest, what makes a waxing painful depends on how thick your roots are inside, not how much hair you have. Another factor is the quality of wax used, and of course the experience and training your waxing specialist/Esthetician has. At Wax Haus and Skin, you are in great hands - we promise!

For your own comfort we suggest to take an ibuprofen 1 hour before your appointment (consult your doctor please). Regular waxing appointments weaken the hair and the results are definitely worth it. 

Clients often say “That was so much better that I imagined” and “Oh wow, this feels soooo much better than my previous experience”! We also get a lot of hugs, laughter and high-fives!

Will waxing make me breakout?

When waxing is performed properly, the root of the hair is rapidly removed, triggering the body’s immune system to perceive the hair removal as “trauma”. You might experience hives which is very normal and typically the skin calms down within few hours. Waxing causes micro-openings of each hair follicle, especially if your have very thick roots, and you might be susceptible to bacterial reactions (whiteheads). As a result, a mild breakout may occur within the first few days after your session, and that’s why it’s crucial to keep the skin clean, cool, and dry.

In order to avoid any bacterial reactions and irritations, you will receive detailed instructions of how to care for your skin after any face or body waxing service. We carry specific products that we know work amazing to prevent and heal and skin reactions or breakouts.

Will my hair grow back thicker after waxing? 

Absolutely NOT! Waxing can not stimulate the hair follicles to produce more or new hair; shaving can. Waxing can not make your hair pigment and texture change in any way. Hair growth, amount of hair, texture, and color depends on your genetics and if you have any hormonal imbalances.

In fact, regular waxing treatments, without shaving in between wax appointments, will make your hair quite sparse and thinner.

How can I prevent ingrown hairs? 

Here at Wax Haus and Skin our focus is your experience, results and education. You will receive ALL the information you need to care for your skin properly. If you follow our instructions, you won't have any ingrown hairs or irritations!

After any body wax is performed it's important to keep-up with exfoliation and keep your skin free of dead skin build up. Please wait five-ten days before you start exfoliating to prevent irritations. After five days you can start using a dry body brush or a loofah sponge daily to lightly exfoliate.

We also carry products that help to prevent and treat ingrown hairs.

I’m pregnant, is it OK to get a bikini or a Brazilian wax?

Congratulations! Yes, of course you can wax! We know it gets a little difficult to groom yourself or even see beyond your belly. Our recommendation is to start monthly waxing sessions for at least 4 months before your due date for maximum results and less skin irritations. We have many clients that come for their waxing services few days before the delivery date. Just promise me you won’t deliver on my bed!

I just started my period and I have an appointment scheduled. Do I need to reschedule?

No need to cancel, this is pretty common (as you can imagine) so please, don't be uncomfortable in any way! We simply ask you to use a tampon or a menstrual cup during your waxing appointment. If you have severe cramps and prefer to reschedule, please let us know as soon as possible.

POST WAXING CARE:

  • Slight pinking of the skin is normal and should disappear within 24-48 hours after your waxing appointment

  • Avoid heavy exercise, tanning beds, steam rooms, jacuzzi or any other heated sources for at least 48 hours after waxing

  • Don’t have sex (yep that’s right, we said it, no sex – sorry) for 24 hours after a Brazilian bikini wax. Except if you know how your skin reacts after wax

  • Avoid wearing tight clothing for the next 24 hours. Avoid fabrics like lycra and synthetic polyester. You best choice would be to wear cotton

  • If you experience any hives or breakouts use hydro-cortisone or an anti-inflammatory lotion

  • Exfoliate with a dry brush and if you are prone to ingrown hairs apply the recommended treatment product (such as “PFB”). Do this every few days until you see improvement. Don’t forget to hydrate your skin too
