- How long does my hair need to be to get waxed?
Your hair has to be at least 1/4-inch long, about the size of a grain of rice. If this is your first time waxing, try to grow out hair for about 2-4 weeks, and at least 1 1/2 week for underarms.
- Can I get waxed while on my period?
Yes, you can. As long as you have a clean tampon, cup, or disk. Due to your hormone fluctuations, your skin may be more sensitive, you can take over the counter pain medication if it's medically appropriate for you.
- How often should I get waxed?
Typically every 2 to 5 weeks depending on the part of your body getting waxed.
Everyone has different hair growth and preferences on how long they are willing to wait.
​
- Face wax 2-4 weeks
- Underarm wax 2-3 weeks
- Brazilian wax 3-6 weeks (ideally every 4 weeks)

​
- How should I prepare for my wax appointment?
