How Often Should You Wax/When You Should Wax

Getting ready for an upcoming event (wedding, party, holiday, etc) and need to be hair free? It might be confusing to know when to wax and how often you should wax in order to get the best results. Timing makes all the difference on knowing the perfect time to wax.

First thing is ensuring you have the correct length of hair. I recommend waiting 3-6 weeks before waxing. If you wax earlier than 3 weeks, the hair will be too short and not all of it will come out. If you wait longer than 6 weeks, the hair will be too long and you can also start having multiple hair growth cycles growing in. That’s why it’s always best to stick to a schedule with waxing. Once you start, don’t stop!

Now your first waxing appointment is very different from your 10th. The first time is going to be a little more painful since you will have the most hair. Your skin might also be sensitive since this will be the first time the hair is being pulled out from the root. After each wax, less hair will come back each time and your skin gets used to the waxing process. We recommend getting 2-3 waxes before a big event or holiday if you are a new client. This will help make sure there are no issues and your skin and hair react well to waxing. Rather be safe than sorry!

Another thing to consider about your first wax appointment is that your hair will not all be on the same hair growth cycle. This is because you have been shaving so the hair continuously gets cut off at the root. Unfortunately, there is a possibility that not all the hair will come out during the first appointment. It will take between 2-3 sessions in order to get all the hair on the same growth cycle. This is why I recommend any new clients to wax 2-3 times before any big event (especially if it’s a Brazilian wax). This will give us time to get all the hair to grow in at the same time so it can easily be pulled from the root. Once we get you on the same hair growth cycle, you will forever have smooth results as long as you put your razor away! Remember, staying away from shaving is key.

Depending on when your big event or holiday is, we recommend getting waxed about 2-3 days before. This will give your skin time to rest and your pores to seal back up. Right after you wax, the hair follicles are open which can result in bacteria and infection seeping in. However, just stay away from working out, sex, swimming and intense sunlight for the next 24 hours and you will be fine.
