How to Prep for Your First Wax (No Nerves Needed)

How to Prep for Your First Wax (No Nerves Needed)

First-time waxing nerves are completely normal — and completely unnecessary once you know what to expect. Here's what actually happens, and how to prepare.

Before you come in

Hair should be about a quarter-inch long — long enough for the wax to grip. If you've shaved recently, it might be too short; give it two to three weeks to grow out first.

What to expect in the room

Every wax happens in a private room, one client at a time. Your stylist will walk you through each step before doing it, so nothing is a surprise.

Aftercare

Skin is more sensitive for about 24 hours afterward — we'll send you home with simple aftercare tips to avoid irritation.

Still nervous? Message us before your appointment and we're happy to answer anything.
