Get answers to common questions about Underarms.

Most clients feel brief discomfort during the pull, but it's quick. We use practical techniques and calming products to minimize pain. Numbing topical creams can be applied on request, and sensitivity typically decreases with regular waxing.

Hair should be about 1/4 inch long—roughly the size of a grain of rice—for the wax to grip. If hair is too short, waxing won’t remove it, and if too long, we may trim to reduce discomfort.

Yes. Waxing pulls hair from the root, reducing sharp regrowth that causes ingrowns. Combined with proper exfoliation and professional technique, waxing can decrease irritation and ingrown occurrences, though maintenance and skincare are important to maximize benefits.

Most clients enjoy smooth underarms for three to six weeks, depending on individual hair growth cycles. Regular waxing can slow regrowth and extend periods between appointments; scheduling every four to six weeks keeps results consistent.

Yes. Avoid shaving for at least two weeks, exfoliate gently the day before, and avoid heavy deodorants or perfumes. Clean, dry skin allows better results. Inform your esthetician about medications or sensitive skin to ensure safe treatment.

We recommend waiting 24 hours before applying regular deodorant to avoid irritation. If necessary, use a gentle, alcohol-free soothing product recommended by your technician. Keep the area clean and avoid intense exercise or heat for the first day.
