Frequently Asked Questions

Does upper back waxing hurt?
You may feel brief stings as the wax is removed. We use premium wax and controlled technique to reduce discomfort. Most guests find it very manageable.
How long do results last?
Results usually last 3 to 4 weeks, depending on growth. With regular waxing, hair often grows back finer and softer.
What should I do before?
Arrive with clean, dry skin and no oils or lotions. Let hair grow to 5 to 10 mm. Avoid exfoliants and sun exposure for 24 hours before.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. We select wax and technique to suit your skin and minimise redness. Tell us about any skin conditions or medications before we begin.
Can you wax the full back?
This booking covers the upper back and shoulder blades. If you need the full back, please contact us and we will advise the best option.
