Waxing/sugaring is proven to be better on the skin. Shaving can cause damage to the skin in the form of hyperpigmentation while waxing/sugaring acts as a natural exfoliate removing dead skin from the serviced area. Waxing/sugaring also last longer then shaving/nair because you are removing the hair from the root vs cutting down at the surface. Please note that if you are transitioning from shaving or nair it could take up to 3 waxes to get the hairs on one growth cycle.

Your hair should be a minimum of 1/4 inch long (grain of rice). If you transitioning from shaving it is recommended to wait at least 4-5 weeks before waxing for the best results. Don't worry if you feel you have too much hair - don't trim. We will take care of it.

We use a green tea hard wax - that is good for all skin types. We use a natural sugar paste for all sugaring services. Legs are done using a roll on soft wax - wax strips are used to remove the wax.

It is recommended to wax every 4-6 weeks depending on your hair growth. For underarms and facial hair you can wax every 2-3 weeks.

While waxing will never be totally pain free. There are some things you can do to help lessen the pain. Being relaxed will help, we are not a rush salon so we allot enough time to allow you to get through your service and stop and breath if you need to. We have complimentary stress ball to help ease your nerves. Some have said taking a pain reliever before the service helps but it is not necessary. Be sure to wear loose fitting clothing. 

Typically you want to schedule your appointment around your period but you do not need to cancel/reschedule your appointment if you get your period unless you are simply not comfortable. We have wipes and fresh tampons in our restroom that are required to use before starting the service if you are on your period. Please note, customers have said that waxing on their period hurts a little more.

While we understand that you want to have a fresh wax right before vacation or special occasion it is recommended to wax at least one time prior. Waxing at least one time period will ensure that your skin doesn't have any reaction to the wax that may disrupt your vacation or special occasion. Also ensure that your fresh wax is done at minimum 24-28 hours prior as your shouldn't have any intimate activity or sun exposure during that timeframe. 

The refresh facial is the best option to start and continue your facial journey. It will allow are esthetician to get familiar with your skin care needs and advise on the next steps. The relaxing facial is a step up from the refresh where you get the same skin analysis in additional to a more relaxing vibe.
