Waxing Services
Waxing is a method of semi-permanent hair removal which removes the hair from the root. New hairs will not grow back in the previously waxed area for two to eight weeks. If waxing is done regularly for several years, permanent hair reduction may be achieved.
Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including eyebrows, face, bikini area, legs, arms, back, abdomen and feet (see pricing below). Waxing is accomplished by spreading a wax combination thinly over the skin. A cloth or paper strip is then pressed on the top and ripped off with a quick movement against the direction of hair growth. This removes the wax along with the hair. Another method utilizes hard wax (as opposed to strip wax). In this case, the wax is applied somewhat thickly and with no cloth or paper strips. The wax then hardens when it cools, thus allowing the easy removal by a therapist without the aid of cloths. This waxing method is very beneficial to people who have sensitive skin.
Your esthetician will decide what method is best for your skin and hair type depending on your desired results. For more permanent results for hair removal, see our Laser Hair Removal section.

Considerations Before Waxing
- Hair must be at least 1/4 inch in length, but not longer than 1/2 inch. Most people need to grow their hair for two to three weeks from their last time shaving.
- Avoid sun exposure or tanning for at least 24 hours before and after waxing.
- Please note that due to increased sensitivity while using Retin-A, Accutane or topical antibiotics, we do not recommend facial waxing, as burns or lifting of the skin may occur.
