Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Full Arms Waxing.

A typical full arms wax appointment takes about 30 to 45 minutes, including consultation and prep. Timing varies with hair density and client needs; allow a little extra for patch tests or post-wax soothing when required.

For best results, let hair grow to about 1/4–1/2 inch. Avoid heavy moisturizers, chemical exfoliants, and sun exposure for 24–48 hours before. Clean, dry skin helps the wax adhere properly.

Some discomfort is normal, especially on first treatments, but pain is brief. Our technicians use expert technique, temperature-controlled wax, and soothing pre/post care to minimize sensitivity. Numbing creams or breaks can be offered when needed.

Most clients return every four to six weeks as hair regrowth varies by person. Regular waxing weakens follicles over time, leading to finer, sparser regrowth and potentially longer intervals between appointments.

It can be suitable, but we recommend a consultation and patch test first. Avoid waxing over active rashes, sunburn, open wounds, or if you’re using strong topical retinoids. Our therapists tailor products and aftercare for sensitive skin types.

You should wait until hair has grown to roughly 1/4 to 1/2 inch — typically two to three weeks after shaving. Waxing requires visible shaft length to grip hair; shaving or depilatories remove that, preventing effective waxing.
