Waxing FAQ

• How should I prepare for my waxing appointment?

  Make sure your hair is long enough, about a grain of rice (0.5cm). Gently exfoliate the area 24 hours before if you can and arrive with clean, product free skin.

• Can I wax during my period?

  You can, but you may be more sensitive. Just wear a tampon or menstrual cup, and let us know so we can make sure you're comfortable.

• Does waxing hurt?

  There can be a bit of discomfort, especially if it’s your first time, but at Elegance we use high quality wax and expert techniques to make it as quick and gentle as possible.

• What should I avoid after waxing?

  For 24 to 48 hours, avoid heat (hot baths, saunas, steam), tight clothing, workouts, and perfumed products on the area. Also, skip sunbeds and tanning!

• When can I exfoliate again?

  Wait 2 to 3 days after waxing, then gently exfoliate every few days to help prevent ingrown hairs and keep your skin smooth.

• Can I shave between appointments?

  Try not to! Shaving disrupts the hair growth cycle and can make your next wax less effective.

• How often should I wax?

  We recommend every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair growth and the area being waxed.
