Frequently Asked Questions
For Waxing
-
We exclusively use Bushbalm hard wax. Hard wax adheres directly to the hair rather than pulling on the skin making the hair removal process significantly more gentle and effective especially on sensitive areas.
-
Clients must be at least 11 years old with parental consent. For intimate area waxing, such as Brazilian or Bikini services, clients must be at least 16 years old with parental consent.
-
Results typically last 3 to 4 weeks depending on your individual hair growth cycle and how consistently you have been waxing. Over time, regular waxing leads to slower, thinner hair regrowth.
-
Yes! You can absolutely still get waxed. Keep in mind that hormonal changes may make your skin slightly more sensitive during this time. We just ask that you arrive wearing a fresh tampon or menstrual cup.
-
Yes, waxing is completely safe during pregnancy! Increased blood flow and hormonal fluctuations might make your skin slightly more sensitive.
-
No. We cannot perform waxing services over affected skin barriers as this can cause skin lifting or further irritation. Please allow the area to fully heal before scheduling.
-
Please inform your esthetician before your service! GLP-1 medications can alter how your skin reacts to waxing and facial treatments by increasing skin dryness and decreasing elasticity. Knowing this allows us to adjust your treatment protocol and post-care routine to protect your skin barrier.

For FACIALS
-
Discontinue active exfoliants (like Retin-A, retinol, AHAs, or BHAs) 3 to 5 days before your treatment. Arrive with a clean face if possible, and refrain from shaving, waxing or exfoliating your face 24 to 48 hours prior.
-
Every 3 to 4 weeks is ideal. This matches your skin’s natural turnover cycle (about 28 days) and helps maintain consistent results.
-
Minor purging (small blemishes) can happen as deep-seated impurities work their way out of your pores, especially after extractions or chemical peels. This typically resolves within a few days to reveal clearer skin.
-
Yes, treatments are fully customized to your current skin state. Soothing, barrier-repairing and antibacterial protocols can be used to treat active breakouts or redness safely without causing irritation.
-
It is best to let your skin breathe and absorb the treatment products for at least 12 to 24 hours. If you must apply makeup, use clean brushes and lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas.
