What services are offered for male clients?
WE OFFER ALL FACIAL WAXING SERVICES AND MOST BODY WAXING SERVICES TO MALE CLIENTS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HAIR REMOVAL BELOW THE BELT OR ABOVE THE KNEE.
Will it hurt?!
YES, BODY WAXING CAN BE PAINFUL, HOW MUCH WILL DEPEND ON SEVERAL FACTORS. MUCH OF THAT CAN BE DIMINISHED BY PROPERLY PREPPING THE SKIN, BEING IN A RELAXING, JUDGEMENT-FREE ENVIRONMENT AND HAVING THE ASSURANCE OF KNOWING YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS WITH OUR WAXPERTS! AVOID CAFFEINE THE FEW HOURS BEFORE THE SERVICE, TAKE A TYLENOL AND TRY TO STAY RELAXED DURING THE SERVICE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. HORMONES CAN PLAY A PART AS WELL SUCH AS RIGHT BEFORE MENSTRUAL CYCLE AND DURING PREGNANCY. TRIMMING SOME BEFORE YOU COME CAN HELP AS WELL, IF HAIR IS TOO LONG, IT CAN MAKE THE PROCESS MORE DIFFICULT. BUT DO NOT TRIM IT TOO SHORT, IT HAS TO BE 1/4 OF AN INCH OR THE LENGTH OF A GRAIN OF RICE. WE ARE A CHILD FRIENDLY SALON, SO WHILE WE UNDERSTAND THE URGE MAY BE TO YELL OUT, PROFANITY IS NOT ALLOWED. WE OFTEN HAVE LITTLE ONES IN THE LOBBY WHO CAN HEAR AND WE WANT TO BE RESPECTFUL TO THEM. IF IT PERSISTS, YOUR WAXER WILL DISCONTINUE THE SERVICE. WE WILL ONLY CHARGE YOU FOR THE AMOUNT OF SERVICE THEY WERE ABLE TO COMPLETE.
Do I have to have an appointment?
NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED UNLESS YOU ARE PURCHASING ONE OF OUR “BODY BUNDLES” WHICH IS MULTIPLE WAXING SERVICES, WHERE YOU GET GREAT SAVINGS FOR PUCHASING MULTIPLE SERVICES AT ONE TIME! PLEASE CLICK THE TAB “BOOK AN APPOINTMENT”. LASH SETS ARE DONE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY AS WELL. WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU!
How long will it take?
FACIAL WAXING IS SHORT AND SIMPLE 5-10 MINUTES SHOULD BE EXPECTED WHEN RECEIVING THIS SERVICE. BODY WAXING CAN GET MORE COMPLEX SO 10-20 MINUTES DEPENDING ON THE AREA SHOULD BE EXPECTED FOR THIS.
How long does the hair have to be before it can be waxed off?
HAIR GROWS IN PHASES AND EVERYONE’S IS DIFFERENT! OUR STANDARD RECOMMENDATION IS THAT YOU ALLOW YOUR HAIR TO GROW A FULL 2 WEEKS FROM YOUR LAST SHAVE BEFORE WAXING TO ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULTS AND THAT YOU WAIT ABOUT 4 WEEKS IN BETWEEN EACH WAXING SESSION. HOWEVER, YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME BACK ANYTIME THAT YOU FEEL YOU HAVE MORE HAIR THAN YOU WANT. AS LONG AS IT’S THE LENGTH OF A GRAIN OF RICE, WE CAN WAX IT. THE LONGER YOU WAIT AND THE MORE REGULARLY YOU WAX, THE LESS HAIR WILL GROW BACK OVER TIME WHICH IS ONE OF THE MAIN BENEFITS OF WAXING!
How long will results last?
THIS DEPENDS ON THE AREA OF YOUR BODY YOU WAX AND HOW OFTEN YOU WAX.
FACIAL WAXING 2-3 WEEKS
UNDERARM WAXING 2-3 WEEKS
BODY/BRAZILIAN WAXING 4-6 WEEKS
TOUCH UP POLICY FOR BRAZILIAN & FRENCH WAXES: WE ONLY OFFER FREE TOUCH UPS FOR THOSE WHO WE ARE UNABLE TO GET ALL THE HAIR UP THE FIRST VISIT. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THE WAXPERT WILL GIVE YOU A CARD TO REDEEM WITHIN 7 DAYS FOR A FREE TOUCH UP. AFTER THAT, IT IS FULL PRICE
What can I expect if getting a Bikini or Brazilian wax?
SO ITS YOUR FIRST BIKINI WAX? WONDERFUL! IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU WONDER WHAT YOU EVER DID BEFORE?! ALL BODY AND BIKINI WAXING IS DONE IN A PRIVATE ROOM. BEFORE WAXING YOUR SKIN WILL BE PREPPED AND OUR PROPRIETARY WAXING PROCESS WILL BEGIN. USING GLOVES THE WAXPERT APPLIES THE WAX USING STICKS AND REMOVES IT USING MUSLIN STRIPS. WE NEVER DOUBLE-DIP OUR STICKS! THE PROCESS AVERAGES ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES AND BEFORE YOUR MODESTY EVEN KICKS IN, YOU ARE ALL DONE.
What are the benefits of waxing versus shaving, laser treatment or hair removal cream?
WAXING SLOWS DOWN THE HAIR GROWTH PROCESS MAKING YOUR SKIN SMOOTHER AND HAIR FINER. SHAVING IS MERELY A TEMPORARY SOLUTION AND FOR MANY THE IRRITATION THIS CAUSES LEADS TO WORSE PROBLEMS THAN SIMPLE PRICKLES.
What medications should I avoid before waxing?
ACCUTANE, RETIN-A, SALICYLIC ACID, GLYCOLIC ACID, DIFFERIN, TAZORAC, AVAGE, STRIVECTIN, RENOVA, PROACTIVE, AVITA, BENZOYL PEROXIDE.
THESE MEDICATIONS AND SOLUTIONS CAUSE HEIGHTENED SENSITIVITY AND IN SOME CASES MAY CAUSE SKIN TEARS. IF YOU ARE ON ANY OF THESE MEDICATIONS LET YOUR WAXPERT KNOW. BEFORE FACIAL WAXING SUSTAIN FROM USING ANY OF THE ABOVE TOPICAL SOLUTIONS OR PRODUCTS FOR 3-5 DAYS.
Can I tan before or after waxing?
WE SUGGEST YOU AVOID TANNING FOR 3-5 DAYS AFTER WAXING. YOUR SMOOTH SKIN IS EASILY BURNED WHEN EXPOSED TO HARMFUL SUNLIGHT OR TANNING BED RAYS.
Can I get in the pool/ ocean water / soak in the bath after waxing?
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU AVOID THE ACTIVITIES FOR AT LEAST 48 HOURS. WAXING OPENS UP YOUR SKIN PORES SO YOUR RISK FOR INFECTION IS INCREASED. IN ADDITION, IT CAN CAUSE UNWANTED BUMPS AND IRRITATION.
Can I go to the gym after waxing?
SWEATING IN GENERAL IS NOT ADVISED POST-WAX. WEARING LOOSE, COOL CLOTHING ALLOWS YOUR BODY TO STAY DRY, PREVENTING BODY OILS FROM BUILDING UP AND CLOGGING FRESHLY EXPOSED PORES.
