Pro Wax Studio – Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long should my hair be before waxing?

Hair should be at least ¼ inch (about the length of a grain of rice). This ensures the wax can grip properly for a clean removal.

2. How often should I wax?

Most clients come every 4–6 weeks. Staying consistent reduces pain and leads to finer, softer regrowth.

3. Does waxing hurt?

Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but most clients say the discomfort is quick and manageable. With proper technique and high‑quality wax used at Pro Wax Studio, the experience is much smoother.

4. Can I wax if I’m on my period?

Yes, but you may feel more sensitive. Please wear a tampon or menstrual cup if you’re getting a Brazilian.

5. What should I do before my appointment?

• Exfoliate gently 24 hours before

• Avoid lotions or oils the day of

• Avoid tanning 48 hours before

• Take an ibuprofen 30 minutes before if you’re sensitive (optional)

6. What should I avoid after waxing?

For 24–48 hours:

• No hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms

• No tanning or sun exposure

• No workouts or sweating

• No tight clothing

• No touching the area with unwashed hands

7. Can I wax if I’m using Retin‑A or Accutane?

If you’re using Accutane, you cannot wax.

If you’re using Retin‑A, tretinoin, or retinol, avoid waxing the face unless you’ve stopped the product for 7 days.

8. Is waxing safe during pregnancy?

Yes — many pregnant clients wax regularly. You may be more sensitive, but it’s completely safe.

9. What if I’m prone to ingrown hairs?

I recommend:

• Exfoliating 2–3 times per week

• Using an ingrown serum, I offer full line of high quality products that can be purchased at the studio

• Staying consistent with waxing

10. How long does a Brazilian wax take?

Typically 15–20 minutes depending on hair type and sensitivity.

11. Can I shave between waxing appointments?

Try not to. Shaving disrupts the hair growth cycle and makes your next wax more painful.

12. What type of wax do you use?

I use professional‑grade hard wax designed for sensitive skin, providing a cleaner and more comfortable experience.

13. Do you double dip?

Never. I follow strict hygiene and sanitation protocols for every client.

14. What if I’m nervous or it’s my first time?

Totally normal. I will walk you through the process step‑by‑step and make sure you feel comfortable the entire time.
