Frequently Asked Questions
New to waxing or visiting us in Upland for the first time? Check out our most common questions about services, prep, aftercare, and booking your appointment.
Waxing Basics & First-time Prep
What are the benefits of waxing as opposed to other hair removal options?
Waxing removes hair from the root, which means smoother skin, slower regrowth, and softer, finer hair over time. Shaving cuts hair at the surface, causing quicker regrowth and more irritation for many people.
Does waxing hurt?
There’s a quick pinch, but the discomfort is brief. With consistent waxing, it becomes more manageable and many clients say it gets easier each time.
How long should my hair be before my first wax?
Hair should be about ¼ inch long, roughly the length of a grain of rice, so the wax can grip properly.
How should I prep before my waxing appointment?
Arrive with clean, dry skin. Avoid heavy lotions, oils, and exfoliate 24–48 hours before for the best results.
What kind of wax do you use?
We use high-quality professional wax formulated to be gentle on the skin while providing strong, clean results.
Do I need to undress for my waxing service?
Only as much as the service requires. Your esthetician will guide you so you feel comfortable the entire time.
Hair Growth, Results & Maintenance
How much time should I leave between waxing appointments?
Most guests return every 4–6 weeks to maintain smooth, consistent results.
How long can I expect my wax results to last?
Typically 3–5 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. With regular waxing, hair grows back finer and slower.
What reactions are normal after a waxing service?
Temporary redness, slight sensitivity, and small bumps can happen — and usually calm within a few hours.
What type of aftercare should I follow post-wax?
Keep the area clean, avoid heat, sweat, and friction for 24 hours, and moisturize daily to support healthy skin.
What should I avoid doing after my wax?
Skip hot showers, workouts, tanning, saunas, tight clothing, and exfoliating for at least 24 hours.
Health & Comfort
Is it okay to get waxed while on my period?
Yes, just wear a tampon or cup. Your skin may feel slightly more sensitive during your cycle.
Can I get waxed during pregnancy?
Absolutely. Waxing is safe while pregnant, though your skin can be more tender. Let your esthetician know so they can keep you comfortable.
Is it okay to get waxed if I’m feeling sick?
If you’re contagious or feverish, it’s best to reschedule. Your skin may also be more sensitive when your body is run down.

Are your estheticians licensed professionals?
