Pros and Cons

Pros: Temporarily removes hair at the root for an average of three weeks of smooth skin, which can range from two to six weeks depending on your hair type and thickness.

Cons: Waxing requires some regrowth in order to be effective, as the wax needs at least a quarter inch of stubble to adhere to.

Waxing Contraindications

Waxing is never done on clients taking Accutane and is not recommended for clients taking Retin A, Renova, Differin or other types of skin thinning acne medications.

• Sunburned, irritated or areas with open skin cannot be waxed.
• You must wait a minimum of 7 days before waxing after a light chemical peel.

Why Do People Prefer Waxing?

Waxing pulls the hair out from its root so it has to completely re-grow, giving you weeks of that smooth silky feeling. Many waxing clients report that after regular waxing, hair begins to grow back thinner and sometimes lighter.
