We offer a full array of waxing service options at our locations in Encinitas, Laguna Niguel, San Diego, and Carlsbad, CA for women who want the smooth and luxurious feeling that comes from a professional touch. Our technicians are trained to provide the best wax experience for removing all unwanted hair with minimal discomfort and without the common side effects that are often found with home products.
Why Professional Hair Removal?
The benefits of a professional waxing service are undeniable. Hair removal is not only fast but longer lasting than shaving, you need not worry about any nicks or cuts, and the end result is smoother skin and hair that grows back thinner and less quickly in between waxing sessions. After you have a leg, facial, or Brazilian wax, you can enjoy staying hair-free for weeks at a time.
How to Prepare for a Waxing Appointment
We suggest you prepare in advance for an upcoming full-body wax appointment in Carlsbad, CA. The steps you take before you arrive can make your waxing experience much more effective and comfortable.
Always use skin care products that are non-comedogenic.
Refrain from taking any prescriptions for vitamin A or medications for acne at least 14 days before any facial wax services.
Exfoliating is permitted but always use gentle products. Manual exfoliation 24-48 hours before your appointment can be beneficial for your skin, just be sure to avoid products with stringent chemicals or ingredients such as Glycolic acid.
What is the Ideal Hair Length for Waxing?
Your follicles should be at least ¼ inch in length, otherwise, the wax does not fully adhere to the hair. This will result in incomplete removal of hair in the area you are having waxed, potentially leading to irritation and ingrown hairs. If your appointment comes at a time when the hair has not grown long enough for waxing services, we will gladly reschedule your appointment.
Is it Possible for Hair to Be Too Long for Waxing?
Yes. We recommend the body hair you plan to wax be no longer than ½ inch. Anything longer can make it too difficult to wax that part of the body. We suggest you trim the hair in advance of your waxing appointment or you can have your technician assist you before the start of your session.
How Long Does a Wax Last?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to that question as everybody and body area is different. Hair growth rates vary from one person to the next, leg hair and bikini line hair grow at a dissimilar pace. The length of time it takes for hair to return could be anywhere from three to six weeks, depending on the area of the body. That is a good estimate as to when you should return to our office for another waxing session.
Does Professional Waxing Permanently Remove Hair?
Waxing will not act as a permanent removal option. However, waxing can slow the regrowth process so you see longer periods of time between waxing and the first signs of hair. This is due to the waxing process, hair follicles are removed entirely, they are not trimmed or cut as you would with shaving. So regrowth shows signs of thinner hair and slower rates of return.
It is true that you can delay the growth of your hair at such extended intervals that you will notice you need to wax less frequently than you did before. Waxing may have an impact on your hair growth in the future but there is no guarantee it will act as a permanent solution to removal.
Can I Get a Wax During My Period?
Yes, you can still receive a wax during your period, whether you opt for upper-lip hair removal or Brazilian waxing. However, keep in mind that your skin is much more sensitive to touch and stimuli during this time, so you may feel more discomfort during the session. We suggest you schedule an appointment with a licensed esthetician in Carlsbad, CA before you expect your period to begin.
If you can wait a few days for your facial or body waxing, it is probably worth it. Talk to our Carlsbad waxing professionals to find the best time for full-body and Brazilian waxing to get the best results and a more comfortable experience.
