Frequently Asked Questions

Does a bikini wax hurt?
You may feel brief stings as hair is removed, but it is quick. We use quality wax and work in small sections to reduce discomfort. Sensitivity often decreases with regular waxing.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Let hair grow to at least 5 mm, about a grain of rice. Gently exfoliate the day before and avoid heavy lotions on the day. Wear loose cotton underwear for comfort.
What areas are included in standard bikini line?
We remove hair that sits outside the knicker line: the sides and along the top. No hair is removed from the labia or buttocks. Choose an extended or Brazilian service if you want more removed.
Can I wax during my period?
Yes, if you are comfortable and using a tampon or cup. Sensitivity can be higher, so please tell your therapist.
How long will results last?
Most guests stay smooth for two to four weeks, depending on hair growth. Book every four to six weeks to stay in sync with your cycle and reduce regrowth.
