Ideally, ¼ inch (about a "rice grain" length). Stop shaving for at least 3-4 weeks pre-appointment. Longer is fine—I’ll trim it!

Yes, but you may be more sensitive, feel free to use an over the counter pain reliever prior to your appointment for some relief. Wear a tampon/cup and avoid scheduling during peak cramp days.

Gently exfoliate 24-48 hours prior to prevent ingrowns, but avoid harsh scrubs day-of.

Both increase sensitivity and pinpoint bleeding since they constrict your blood vessels. Avoid 24 hours pre-wax for a more comfortable experience.

No. These medications thin skin or increase bleeding risk. Wait 6-12 months post-Accutane.

Discomfort varies, but my soft wax technique minimizes pain. First-time clients say it’s far gentler than expected!

About 15-20 minutes (depending on hair density). Other body waxing services can take ~45 minutes.

Yes! I offer brow shaping, lip/chin, and full-face waxing. Add them to your appointment!

Soft wax for most body areas (gentler on skin), and I only use hard wax upon request, but my clients find soft wax is more comfortable.

Typically 3-6 weeks. Hair grows back finer/sparser over time with regular waxing.

Exfoliate 2-3x/week (start 48 hrs post-wax) and use an ingrown serum (I carry my favorites in-studio!).

Wait 24 hours for working out in order to avoid irritation, sweating, or bacteria exposure. You can shower the same day, but use unscented/ gentle non irritating soaps. You can use grapeseed oil to  moisturize.

Avoid sun, pools, and hot tubs for 24-48 hours—your skin is extra sensitive!

Friction + bacteria increase irritation/breakouts. Wait 24-48 hours.

Never! Strict single-use tools and hygiene protocols are followed.

Yes, but hormone changes may increase sensitivity and breakouts. Come within the first 4 months of your pregnancy for optimal results.

Consult your dermatologist first. I avoid waxing over active flare-ups. I prep the skin with oil so I do not dry out the skin prior to waxing.

Every 4-6 weeks for optimal results and reduced hair growth over time.
