Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Ear Waxing.

Most clients report a quick, mild sting that fades within minutes; some sensitivity can last up to 24 hours. We use gentle wax and soothing aftercare to minimize discomfort. Topical numbing creams can be applied on request.

Clean, dry ears work best—avoid applying oils, heavy creams, or topical medications just before your appointment. Let your therapist know about skin conditions or blood-thinning medications. Arrive with no jewellery in the area to ensure safe, efficient waxing.

Results commonly last three to six weeks depending on individual hair growth rate and aftercare. Regular maintenance appointments can prolong smoothness. Avoid waxing more frequently than recommended to prevent irritation; your therapist will advise a personalized schedule.

If you have active irritation, cuts, eczema, or recent sunburn we advise postponing waxing. For generally sensitive skin we perform a patch test and use gentle products. Always disclose medical or skin conditions so your therapist can recommend safest options.

When performed hygienically by trained therapists, infection risk is low. We use single-use supplies and strict sanitation. Follow aftercare instructions to reduce risk. Contact us promptly if you notice increasing pain, persistent redness, discharge, or fever for assessment and treatment.

Avoid touching or rubbing the area, keep ears dry for 24 hours, and skip swimming, saunas, or heavy exercise that causes sweating. Use any recommended soothing gel and avoid topical exfoliants or strong products for 48 hours. Contact us with concerns.
