FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why wax in the first place?
A: Waxing is one of the best ways to temporarily remove unwanted hair. It is more effective than shaving because it removes hair from the roots, not just from the skin’s surface. Over time hair in waxed areas re-grows lighter and sparser or not at all. Even fine hair shadows the face, distorting and aging your features. Waxing the brows opens up the eyes, providing a non-surgical facelift. You keep the hair on your head well-maintained, so why not everywhere else?
Q: What is the effect on the skin?
A: As dead skin cells are removed in this process the skin can feel quite smooth afterwards. The waxing action does cause the skin to sting and many find a soothing skin healing cream to be helpful afterwards. Some people find the skin reacts with redness and bumps which disappears after a few minutes.
Q: What areas of the body can be waxed?
A: The wax can be used on almost any part of the body as needed. It is wise to test a small area first for sensitivity. Some frequently waxed areas for women are legs, underarms, bikini line, eyebrows and face. For men: chest, leg, arms, and back. The exceptions for waxing are beards, eyelashes.
Q: Should I shave or trim the area? This would be for bikini or Brazilian.
A: No, do not shave the area; the professionals at Beauty of Wax will trim the area if necessary. Hair to be waxed should be at least ¼ inch long for waxing to be successful.
Q: Are there any medication precautions to consider?
A: VERY IMPORTANT: Waxing is never done on clients taking Accutane and is not recommended for clients taking Retin A, Renova, Differin or other types of skin thinning acne medications. Please read the label carefully and consult your dermatologist if you are taking any medication or using any topical cream that contains these medications.

Q: Are there any additional tips I should know to make my session more comfortable/pleasant?
A: Sometimes there is a physical reaction that takes place within the body in response to feeling a bit of discomfort or pain. It is common for increased perspiration to occur. Though a clean surface and hygienic paper barrier is provided for each individual client, some clients bring a large beach towel to lie on. This suggestion has been known to make clients feel more at ease and comfortable during the waxing process
