FAQ

The number one question, “does waxing hurt?” The short answer is yes. However, at Wax-me, both our wax and our technique work together to offer you the most comfortable service possible. 

When waxed consistently, hair grows back slower, finer and sparser. Shaving cuts your hair, it doesn’t remove your hair with roots—so the quantity and thickness remain the same.

It depends on how fast your hair is growing but on average we would recommend getting waxed every 4 weeks.

The ideal length for waxing is about 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm. If your hair is not long enough, our therapist will let you know. If you decide to go ahead with the treatment, that’s not a problem at all. It is simply likely that we are not going to be able to get all the hair, as they’ll be too short to stick to the wax.

Yes most certainly, just let us know so we can prepare the treatment to fit you best.

We do our best to offer a walk-in wax appointment! However, we may not always be able to accommodate walk-ins, so booking your wax ahead of time is the best way to ensure you’ll get the service you want when you need it.

Resist the urge to pick up the razor! We strongly advise not shaving after or before having a wax done. Shaving can cause ingrown hairs and skin abrasions. Plus, shaving makes your skin more sensitive, which will only make your next wax more painful.

We advise that during the 24-hour window after a wax done to not go out into the sun. After waxing your skin is more exposed and less protected. As for sunbeds, it’s usually advised that these are avoided for at least 48 hours before and after your waxing appointment.  The skin tends to contain heat from the UV light which can cause the skin to peel or lift. In turn, this can irritate the skin during or after the wax.
