Waxing is the safest, most natural, most comfortable and most effective way to remove unwanted body hair compared to other hair removal treatments such as shaving, laser hair removal, creams, and other methods. Waxing removes your hair from the root, giving you results that will last much longer than shaving, with much less chance of getting ingrown hairs or rashes. When you shave, you also stimulate potential hair growth and can strengthen the hair follicle. Shaving also cuts the hair at the hair shaft, which not only re-grows with a stubbly feel it can also itch. Waxing costs much less than laser hair removal and it is suitable for almost all skin and hair types; whereas with laser, it only works on someone with light skin and dark hair. Waxing has less of a chance of permanently burning the skin like laser hair removal can. So, If you're tired of the unsightly hair and stubble that appears on all parts of your body then waxing is your best alternative.

Waxing may hurt but it all depends on your pain threshold. However, consistent waxing will damage your hair follicle making each service more and more comfortable. Do not drink alcohol or caffeine prior to your waxing session as drinking caffeine and alcohol will thin your blood and will increase your skin sensitivity, causing more pain. We also recommend taking Ibuprofen 30-45 min before your appointment to help dull your pain receptors. For females, try to schedule your appointment within the first 2 weeks after you have ended your cycle as this is when you are probably retaining the least amount of fluid, and should probably be the least sensitive.

It depends on your own personal hair growth and the body part you are waxing, but it should last anywhere from 3-6 weeks. Regular waxing will give you the best results as the more you wax the thinner and lighter the hair becomes.

We recommend you do not shave in between waxes because it affects the consistency of your hair growth. Shaving also cuts the hair on the surface causing more of a chance for ingrown hairs

Proper skin prep and aftercare are essential for avoiding issues, here are some tips for what to do before your waxing sessions:

- A day or two before you wax, gently exfoliate the area to be waxed, exfoliating helps loosen existing ingrown hairs and improves your waxing results.
- Always start your waxing session with freshly washed skin to remove any germs, sweat, oil, makeup, dirt, or other residue, avoiding your chance of incurring infected bumps.
- Make sure your skin is dry, wax won’t adhere to wet hair.
- Your hair needs to be at least 6mm (¼") long so that there is sufficient above the skin for the wax to stick to efficiently.
- Do not apply self tanner, moisturizer, or any abrasive body or facial scrubs.
- Do not go sit in the sun or go to the tanning booth prior to your service.
- Discontinuing any product that exfoliates or dries the skin for at least 1 week prevents tears, scabbing or burning.
- Avoid getting spray tanned before any waxing procedure. Wax tends to lift the color off your skin leaving it patchy-looking.
- Some products that conflict with waxing are: Accutane, Differin, Retin A/Retinol, Glycolic acid/AHA’s, ProActive, Avita, Benzoyl peroxide, Salicylic acid/ BHA’s Please note; new products come out every day, and these the most common products used. If you are in doubt, don’t use it or don’t wax.
- At the time of your session, sit back and relax. Being relaxed helps relieve the tension and guarantee you to have an even better experience.

Here are some tips we recommend you do after your waxing appointment comes to an end in order to keep your skin soft, smooth, and healthy:

- Be sure to keep the waxed area clean.
- Avoid heat and friction during the next 24 to 48 hours, including no hot baths or hot showers, no saunas, hot tubs or steam rooms, no tanning, no sport, gym work or other exercise.
- Avoid touching the waxed skin with unwashed hands.
- Wear clean, loose fitting clothing.
- Avoid swimming.
- Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions or other products to the area, other than those recommended by your therapist.
- Exfoliate! Exfoliate! Exfoliate! To ensure your next wax is smoother and prevent ingrown hairs, we suggest exfoliating every day in the shower. By doing this, dead skin and oils are removed from the surface of the skin so the hair is able to grow back evenly with minimal irritation.

This comes down to personal preference, there is no clear cut answer, as it comes down to personal preference, but almost any area of the body can benefit from waxing. Here are the most common areas men wax:

- Shoulders and Back
Either you have a lot of thick hair or just unattractive patches of hair on your back and shoulders, getting those body parts waxed can make you instantly feel comfortable and look more attractive.

- Chest and Midsection
If you like to have a little bit of chest hair, but the thickness of your hair is a little too much, a waxing session could be your solution.

- Legs
You will see instant tone and definition when you get rid of the hair on your legs, so it’s an attractive option.
