Some brief sting is normal, but our estheticians use pre-care, soothing waxes, precise technique, and calming post-wax treatments to minimize discomfort. We can adjust approach and recommend numbing or cooling steps for sensitive clients.

Exfoliate gently 48 hours prior and avoid retinol or strong acids for several days. Let hair be at least a quarter-inch long. Arrive with clean skin and avoid heavy creams or makeup on the cheeks.

Mild redness or sensitivity is common immediately after waxing and usually fades within a few hours to a day. We apply soothing serums and recommend gentle care; contact us if prolonged irritation, bumps, or signs of infection occur.
