Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Brow/Lip Waxing.

Come with clean, makeup-free skin and hair about 1/4-inch long. Notify your esthetician if you use retinols, glycolic/salicylic acids, or Tretinoin—these increase sensitivity. Avoid sun and heavy exfoliation 48 hours before for safest, most comfortable waxing.

Mild redness and sensitivity are normal immediately after waxing and usually fade within a few hours to one day. Our estheticians apply soothing aftercare, recommend cool compresses, and advise avoiding heat, heavy exercise, and exfoliants for 24–48 hours to reduce irritation.

Most clients enjoy smooth, hair-free brows and upper lip for three to six weeks, depending on individual hair growth cycles. With consistent waxing, regrowth often becomes finer and sparser—scheduling every four to six weeks helps maintain shape and results.

Retinols, glycolic/salicylic acids and Tretinoin increase skin sensitivity—avoid using them at least 3–7 days prior, or longer for stronger prescriptions. Always inform your esthetician so they can adjust or reschedule your service for safest results.

Waxing removes multiple hairs quickly and offers longer-lasting smoothness and precise shaping, while tweezing allows targeted control for single hairs. Waxing can reduce regrowth over time, but both methods suit different needs—your esthetician will recommend the best approach for your brows.

Avoid heavy exfoliation, retinoids, glycolic/salicylic acids and direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours. Skip hot showers, saunas, and makeup immediately after. Use soothing aloe or post-wax serum we provide, apply SPF if outdoors, and contact us if prolonged irritation occurs.
