Waxing is a semi-permanent hair removal, which removes the hair from the root.

New hair will not grow back for 6-8 weeks, although some people will see regrowth in a few weeks at first due to some hair being on a different growth cycle.

​

Hair has a specific growth cycle with four  stages.

Anagen - The Growth Stage.

Catagen - The Transition Stage.

Telogen - The Resting Stage.

Exogen - The Shedding Stage

(more detailed explanation can be found here)

​

With regular waxing every 3-4 weeks, you are more likely to get your hair on the same growth cycle stage allowing for optimal waxing results.

​

Hair grows in 4  stages stated above and it can take up to 4 waxing treatments on a regular basis before all of the hair is on the same growth cycle stage.

​

Your first wax may not last as long as someone you know who has regular waxes. It may last 1 - 4 weeks, it all depends on your own genetics and how recently you shaved before your appointment. I recommend you do not shave or use any other form of hair removal 3-4 weeks before your first appointment.

​

Please remember not to shave, tweeze or use hair removal creams in between waxing appointments as this interrupts the hair growth cycle.​ The more you wax the longer it will last.
