Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prepare for my wax?
Let hair grow to about 0.5–1 cm so the wax grips well. Arrive clean and avoid moisturisers or oils on the area that day. We can trim if needed.
Does a back and chest wax hurt?
You may feel brief stings as the wax is removed. We use premium wax and support the skin to reduce discomfort. Most clients find it easier with each visit.
How long do results typically last?
Most people stay smooth for 3–5 weeks, depending on growth. With regular waxing, regrowth can feel finer and sparser over time.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, we tailor wax choice and technique to your skin. Mild redness is normal and settles within 24–48 hours. Tell your therapist about any sensitivities or medications.
What aftercare should I follow?
Keep the area cool and clean for 24–48 hours. Avoid heat, gyms, and sun, then moisturise daily and exfoliate gently from day 3. We will provide simple aftercare guidance.
