FAQs

For best results, your hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about the length of a long grain of rice). If you're currently shaving this would equal 2-3 weeks of growth.

With proper prep and aftercare you can experience about 2 weeks of smooth skin between waxes.  With consistent waxing you may notice slower, finer regrowth over time.

You may feel some discomfort, especially during your first appointment. Waxing is quick and I would describe it as more of a sting than true pain.  Avoid caffeine and other stimulants before your appointment as these can increase sensitivity. 

Absolutely! There's no need to stop your everyday life for any of these things.  We take great caution to ensure you are comfortable during your appointment.  We ask if you're on your cycle to please use a clean tampon or cup at the start of your appointment time. 

Exfoliate the area gently 24 hours before and arrive with clean, dry skin.  Avoid sun exposure or tanning beds for at least 24 hours before your wax. 

Discontinue use of all topical exfoliants (retin-A, tretinoin, hydroquinone) 7-14 days before your appointment. Always let your provider know if you are using these products at the start of your appointment. Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds 24 hours before your appointment time. 

For the first 24-48 hours after your wax avoid hot showers, tight clothing, intimate skin-on-skin contact, sweat/working out, sun exposure, and exfoliation.  Your skin may be more sensitive during this time.  Your pores are open from the hair removal process and avoiding these activities helps reduce irritation, friction, and bacteria that may cause ingrown hairs & breakouts. 

All skincare treatments at Bare Rituals are customized to your skins needs, and the concerns discussed during consultation.  We currently offer enzyme peels, dermaplaning, high frequency, acne treatments, extractions, anti-aging, and hydrating facial treatments. 

The only thing you need to decide on is your time commitment! If you're looking for a quick, results driven appointment that you can fit in with a busy schedule I recommend the Express Ritual. If you have time for a fully immersive experience then the Indulge Ritual is for you.

Based on your treatment goals, available time, and financial commitment facials are recommended anywhere from every 2 weeks to quarterly treatments.  Remember, 80% of your results come from treating the skin at home!

Yes! All facial appointments include consultation time to discuss what products and modalities are most appropriate for your concerns.

We are kid friendly for short appointments - ex. brow and body waxing.  Please be advised there is no waiting area, and children can not be left unattended in the shared hallway space.  If you are uncomfortable with them being in the room during service please arrange childcare.

Tips & gratuity has been factored into the price of service.  While they are always appreciated, additional is not required.  If you'd like to help grow my small business leaving a tip in the form of a 5-Star Google Review, referring me to friends, family, and neighbors, and sharing your positive experience online will quite literally bring tears to my eyes.  You have no idea how much your kind words mean to me.
