Waxing FAQs

  • The answer to this varies. Only due to everyone having different pain tolerances. Some are able to bare through the pain, others will laugh and giggle through.

    Pro-tip: Waxing consistently every 4-6 weeks will help with pain as the hair grows back finer and sparse!

  • First off, waxing pulls the hair from the root, and waxing as often as recommended will promote the hair to grow back slower, finer, and more sparse every time.

    Shaving can leave the skin bumpy, irritable, and itchy. The hair grows back the next day, and it will definitely cause your hair to grow back thicker. Besides, you could cut yourself!

    Laser and Electrolysis doesn’t work for everyone, and isn’t guaranteed long term hair removal. Some clients result to waxing after getting these treatments. Plus, it can be expensive!

  • Necesse Aesthetics only uses hard wax. The wax used is luxury made and produced in Spain. Hard wax is best for those with sensitive skin. The wax is applied while it’s warm, shrink wraps and hardens around the hair, and doesn’t adhere to the skin. We use this wax on the face, bikini, and full body areas.

  • You won’t have to worry about growth for a minimum of 1-2 weeks.

  • No, hair grows back softer and finer over time since it’s pulled from the root. So the hairs grow back as new growth, unlike shaving.

  • Your hair should be as long as a grain of rice. Which is 3-4 weeks in growth. I know, I know! It’ll be super hairy and you don’t think you can wait that long. It’s okay, you can do it. I promise you won’t regret the wait!

  • We need the length for the wax to grab onto. Otherwise, it’ll be more painful tryna tug on hair that’s too short and not ready to be pulled. The wait also allows time for hair growth on other cycles to come in, especially if you’ve been shaving. If you wax to early, you’re wax won’t last as long, and you’ll have hair growing in within a few days. Possibly have lots of really short hairs left behind.

  • Yes, absolutely! I will make your service is as comfortable as can be.

  • Yes, as long as you’re comfortable with it, we are all good! Just be sure to have a fresh tampon in during your service(if you’re receiving a bikini/Brazilian wax). Just keep in mind, you’ll be extra sensitive to pain during your menstrual cycle, but it’s tolerable.

  • Be sure your hair is 3-4 weeks in length. You may take an ibuprofen for comfort 45mins prior to your appointment. Exfoliate at least two days before and avoid sun exposure for 48 hours. Don’t apply heavy creams or fragrant lotions. Also, refrain from caffeine & alcohol day off. This increases your pain sensitivity too.

    Pro tip: Wear APPROPRIATE clothing for comfortability, avoid lace underwear, and tight clothing.

  • Exfoliate waxed areas 2-3x a week with recommended scrubs, mitt, body brush, or wash cloth after 48hrs of waxing. Apply ingrown serum daily! Especially, if you’re prone to ingrowns. Top skin with fragrant-free moisturizer after any serums and body oils to keep your skin & new hair growth smooth + soft.

    Pro tip: Following proper skin care will minimize breakouts, ingrowns, and pain during hair removal for your next appointment. Flawless + hair-free skin what we want to achieve.

  • Hold off on sexual + active activities for 24hrs. Avoid pools/saunas, hot showers/baths, touching the waxed area(s), and wearing tight clothes. These will cause your pores to be consumed with bacteria, and will lead to possibly painful ingrowns. Tight clothing + lace underwear will cause friction to the skin and fault hair to grow underneath the skin.

  • No, it’s not safe to wax while using these medications, because it increases the rate of exfoliation. Waxing is a form of exfoliation. Waxing on these medications will potentially cause the skin to lift leading to scarring and hyperpigmentation.

    This follows with microdermabrasion, chemical peels, glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, aha’s, bha’s, vitamin a, antibiotics, other medication may have names like Tazorac, Differin, ect.

    Please consult with your doctor if you have concerns, or may be prescribed any of these medications. especially, if you’re seeing a dermatologist.
