Strip (or soft) wax is used for arms, legs, back and stomach.

Hard wax is used for more sensitive areas, such as face, Brazilian and bikini because it is generally much more gentle than soft/strip wax. It’s usually faster and cleaner than strip wax as well. Hard wax tends to have less instances of bruising, lifting, redness, sensitivity etc.

Taking an ibuprofen before your treatment helps a little. Also, avoid caffeine the day of your appointment and make sure your skin is moisturized. Once you’ve begun waxing, the one thing you can do to reduce the pain is to STAY ON SCHEDULE with your appointments.

Some people are more sensitive 5-7 days before their period so scheduling your appointment for after your period can help.

There are many culprits! Improper technique, tight clothing, sweat/oils/bacteria getting into the follicle, synthetic materials (such as lace, spandex, nylon), friction, dead skin, dry skin, not following proper aftercare protocol. Unfortunately, some people are just prone to these also.

A Brazilian includes all your pubic hair in the front, all the way to the hair around your anus. If you’d like to leave a strip or triangle above the labia in the front, that’s fine too. You don’t have to do “the back” if you don’t want to, but I will let you know that it’s not as painful as the front.

A bikini wax removes hair on the outside of your underwear line. It does not include any hair removal in "the back."

For best results, we recommend growing hair for 3-4 weeks. For most people, that would mean it's about 1/4 inch long (about the length of a grain of rice).

Yes! We just ask that you put in a clean tampon before your appointment and tuck the string in.

I went to school and received my license in 2004. I began focusing more on waxing starting in 2014 when I took a course for Brazilians and using hard wax. I have taken multiple continuing education courses on waxing and skin care throughout my 20 plus years in this business.

Follow your aftercare instructions and start an exfoliation routine at home. This may include using an exfoliating glove, a scrub, and/or using a gentle chemical exfoliant such as "Get The Bump Outta Here" on a regular basis. I do my best to give you exceptional service when you are in my treatment room, but you also need to do your part at home. Besides exfoliating and moisturizing as directed, please refrain from picking or digging at an ingrown. You may get the hair out, but you also may cause discoloration, infection, scarring etc. The best way to treat ingrown hairs is to stick to your routine.
