Body Waxing FAQs

What is body waxing?

Body waxing is a method of hair removal that involves applying a thin layer of wax to the skin, allowing it to harden slightly, and then quickly removing it to pull unwanted hair out from the root.

Is body waxing painful?

While some discomfort is normal, most clients find it tolerable. The sensation varies depending on individual pain thresholds and the area being waxed. Over time, regular waxing can become less painful as hair grows back finer.

How long does a waxing session take?

The duration of a waxing session depends on the area being treated. Smaller areas like eyebrows or upper lips may take a few minutes, while larger areas such as legs or back may require up to an half hour.

How long will the results last?

Typically, results can last anywhere from four to six weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle and how often you wax. Regular sessions can lead to slower regrowth over time.

What should I do to prepare for my appointment?
