FAQ

What is the difference between a bikini, French, and Brazilian wax?

The difference between a Brazilian, bikini and French bikini wax is simple. A Brazilian wax includes complete hair removal from front to back and if you would like you can keep a small patch in the front. A bikini wax removes the hair just outside the panty line and a French bikini wax removes all hair but leaves a thin strip down the middle.

Each of our top & highly trained estheticians receives extensive training that enables him/her to complete a Brazilian wax in approximately 15 to 30 minutes with minimal pain. Additionally, there is absolutely no “double-dipping” of wax sticks, common safety and health concerns associated with waxing. In addition to the Brazilian wax, Wax & Lash also offers a full menu of waxing services for men and women. Browse our waxing services.

How long does my hair have to be for a clean wax?

Your hair needs to be at least ¼” to ½” for a nice clean wax. For most people, this means waiting 2-4 weeks (minimum of 2 weeks) from the last time you shaved. The longer you wait, the better the wax will be.

How long will my wax last?

A wax will typically last for a minimum of 3 weeks if you allow your hair to grow out to the proper length prior to waxing.

What if I’m on medication?

If you are on any medication like Accutane, Retin-A, Differin, etc., they can increase the rate at which your skin exfoliates meaning that waxing could potentially remove the skin in addition to hair. Please let your esthetician know immediately if you are on any medications.

What are ingrown hairs and how do I prevent them?

Ingrown hairs are thin hairs that cannot push through the skin. The best way to prevent this is to exfoliate 4 to 5 times per week. Speak with your licensed esthetician for retail options.

How long does eyelash tinting last?

Since the dye is permanent, eyelash tinting can last anywhere between 3 to 5 weeks depending on the person. The tint won’t fade, but as your eyelashes naturally fall out, your tinted lashes will be replaced with new ones.

How long does eyebrow lamination last?

Eyebrow lamination typically lasts between 4 to 6 weeks but can last up to 8 weeks depending on how well your eyebrows are taken care of.

Do laminating eyebrows hurt?

Eyebrow lamination is a completely pain-free treatment, making it a great alternative to microblading. However, if you have a skin condition, such as severe acne, we recommend talking to your dermatologist first.

Do you wax eyebrows before laminating?

Your esthetician will discuss this with you and then decide whether your eyebrows will be waxed before lamination or not.

Aftercare can usually start the day of the waxing or the day after. If you are VERY sensitive, wait 2-3 days.

Aftercare should be done every day for the first 7-10 days followed by every other day until your next wax.

Wear loose clothing for a few hours. Don’t expose the skin to sun or tanning beds for a few days.

Always wash with a clean exfoliating glove.

Don’t take hot showers or baths for 24 hours. A warm shower or bath is fine.

Don’t swim in chlorinated pools, rivers, or dirty water for 24 hours.

Don’t exercise for 24 hours. This can cause perspiration which may irritate freshly waxed skin and cause a breakout. In fact, ANYTHING that causes perspiration (you know what we’re talking about), for the first 24 hours can cause a breakout.

Don’t apply scented creams/lotions, talc, etc.
