Bikini and Brazilian Waxing

For any part of the body, the hair should be one fourth of an inch long or the length of a grain of rice which is typically two weeks of growth. If the hair longer, just leave it, there is no need to trim.

Of course there is some pain involved as the hair follicle is larger than the pore it is coming out of but I strive to ensure your comfort throughout the entire process. I’ll check in with you several times throughout the service and chat to keep your mind distracted. (p.s. I always love to know what your binging on Netflix!)

-A gentle exfoliation 1 day prior to your appointment will breakdown and loosen any built up dead skin cells around the base of the hair
-Take a warm shower or bath right before to open the pores
-Wear loose clothing
-Avoid caffeine and alcohol 24 hours prior to the appointment
-Some find Tylenol or Ibuprofen helpful 30 minutes prior

Yes! You MUST have a fresh tampon in or menstrual cup to get any Bikini/Brazilian wax services. You may also experience more sensitivity while waxing during your cycle but yes, this is totally normal and common.

First, no picking at ingrown hairs! It can cause further irritation and scarring. The Wax Room offers several aftercare products specifically designed for treating ingrown hairs. We will match the right product for you based on your skin sensitivity and type of ingrown hair/irritation to help you achieve the best waxing results.

Facial and Body waxing can be started whenever the child and parent feel comfortable. Parent/Guardian consent is required for any and all waxing for those that are 17 and younger and must be present for the first visit but does not need to be in the room while service/s are being performed.

Taking antibiotics or topical acne medications such as (but not limited to) Retinols, Epiduo, Differin, Alpha hydroxy acids etc. can cause skin sensitivity and skin to lift when waxed. *You must be off Accutane for 6 months before waxing.

Yes you can! Keep in mind you may experience a little more sensitivity when getting waxed. If you are still on the fence about continuing to get waxed or start waxing while pregnant, consult your doctor.

All of our services are available for male clients to book with the exception of the intimate areas, which are: Any bikini service, Brazilian and Butt.

Waxing is the process of hair removal, we use hard wax to effectively remove the hair from the root. At the Skintechnician uses a sensitive vegan formula and creamy pink film wax formula that both ease the skin as it works its magic. We use only the best products that are specifically formulated to prevent skin irritation to reactive skin. We recognize that not every waxing client nor session is the same and make sure we give you the most customized experience possible. The wax used at The Skintechnician is vegan, full of natural antioxidant, excellent emollient and great for all skin types. The skin is prepped with an oil to protect the skin from the wax, after the waxing process is complete we use an after waxing oil that soothes, calms and removes wax residue. The hair must be a minimum of 1/4 inch to ensure proper removal of hair. Trimming is not recommended.

• One of the best benefits of waxing is that your skin will feel smooth + even.  
• When waxing, you not only remove unwanted hair—you also wax away any dry and dead skin cells in the process.   
• With waxing, you aren’t at risk to any cuts or nicks that can leave you with scars from shaving.   
• Stubble free skin – Waxing removes unwanted hair completely, from its roots. Shaving, on the other hand, often results in stubbles, leaving your skin feeling rough and abrasive.   
• There are minimal chemicals involved in the waxing process, so rarely does waxing cause any skin irritation or allergy.   
• Slow hair re-growth- after waxing, the regrowth of your hair is very slow, often taking 4 to 6 weeks. 

No, it will not. Waxing removes the hair by the root, often weakening the root in process. Therefore, if anything, waxing will make the hair finer and sparser with repeated regular waxing.

Waxing your unwanted hair away is really more convenient. It takes longer on the day but you don’t have to do it for another month. Waxing is more expensive, but it can be well worth it.  You have a busy life and shaving your stubble every day is annoying. In particular, for those delicate areas, like facial hair, it is best to have those areas wax and waxed by a professional.  Shaving your upper lip, chin, brows, or anywhere on your face will cause the hair to come in thicker and darker. If you are on holiday or away from home, this can be a real challenge.  As well razors can dry the skin, cause rashes and cuts, and it’s easy to miss spots that you can’t see but others can.   You can have other treatments done while getting waxing done. Why not spend the day and get yourself pampered? It’s a great way to treat yourself and you will feel much better.  Home kits are fine but you want to relax while you are getting waxed. Leave the waxing to the pros. You might be able to do it at home to maintain, but you are better off to get your esthetician to do it for you.
