Get answers to common questions about Shoulders.

Come with clean, dry skin and avoid moisturizers or oils on the day. Trim long hair if necessary to about 1/4 inch, and exfoliate gently 48 hours before to reduce ingrown hairs. Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment.

Hair should be about 1/4 inch (6-7mm) long so the wax can grip effectively. If hair is shorter, wait until it grows; if much longer, a slight trim will make waxing more comfortable and efficient.

Some redness or mild sensitivity is normal for a few hours after waxing. We use soothing, organic post-wax care to calm skin; apply recommended cooling gel and avoid heat, swimming, and tight clothing for 24-48 hours to reduce irritation.

Most clients return every 4–6 weeks depending on hair growth and personal preference. Regular waxing can slow regrowth and reduce thickness over time—our therapists will advise a schedule based on your growth pattern and skin response.

Avoid waxing on sunburned, broken, or inflamed skin. For sensitive skin or recent sun exposure, wait until the skin has fully healed. Inform your therapist about medications, retinoids, or skin treatments that may increase sensitivity.

Keep the area clean and moisturized with recommended products, avoid hot baths, saunas, and intense exercise for 24-48 hours. Gently exfoliate after 48-72 hours to prevent ingrown hairs, and use SPF if shoulders will be sun-exposed.
