Frequently Asked Questions

Does underarm waxing hurt?
You may feel a brief sting as the wax is removed. Our therapists work quickly and use premium wax to reduce discomfort. Most guests find it very tolerable.
How long should hair be?
Around 3–5 mm, roughly a grain of rice. Please avoid shaving for at least 10–14 days before your appointment to allow suitable length.
Can I use deodorant after?
Wait 24 hours before applying deodorant or fragrance. This helps prevent irritation and allows pores to close.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. We use gentle wax and prepare the skin carefully. Tell us about sensitivities so we can adjust technique and aftercare.
How often should I book?
Every 3–4 weeks suits most hair cycles. Regular waxing can lead to finer regrowth and longer-lasting smoothness.
