Shorten hair to about quarter-inch, clean and dry underarms, and avoid deodorant or heavy lotions before your appointment. Gently exfoliate a day or two beforehand and avoid sun exposure, retinoids, or blood-thinning medications to reduce irritation.

Some discomfort is normal but brief; pain tolerance varies. Our skilled technicians use fast techniques and high-quality wax to minimize discomfort. Topical numbing or post-care soothing can be offered, and regular waxing typically becomes less painful over time.

Yes. Avoid waxing on sunburned, irritated, or broken skin, active rashes, infections, recent chemical peels, or if using strong topical retinoids or blood thinners. Inform your technician about medications, allergies, or skin conditions so we can assess safety and recommend alternatives.

Avoid deodorant, heavy products, hot showers, intense exercise, and sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours. Wear loose clothing and apply a soothing, fragrance-free lotion or aloe. Begin gentle exfoliation after 48 to 72 hours to prevent ingrown hairs and support smooth regrowth.
