Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I wax?

Waxed hair grows back softer and finer, as opposed to rough stubble that shaving causes. Each time you wax, the hair follicle becomes weakened and may eventually die, resulting in less hair.

Does waxing hurt?

Considering that the hair follicle is being removed, it will hurt. However, each time you wax, the hair growth phases will become accustomed, making it a less painful experience. At Honey, we strive to make the experience as comfortable as possible for every one of our clients. 

How long does my hair need to be?

We require that you have a minimum of 2 weeks of hair growth. The length of your hair should be between 1/8th and 1/4th of an inch, or a "grain of rice" to wax properly. It is important to have enough hair growth to allow the wax to adhere to the hair easily.

How long will the results last?

Results last approximately 3-6 weeks, depending on the area of the body. We recommend aftercare products to keep your skin silky smooth.

Will I be perfectly smooth after my first wax?

Some clients may notice that the area is not as smooth as anticipated. This could occur for during the first 3-4 appointments because the hair may be at different growth phases. Eventually, the phases will become synced and it’s smooth sailing from there!

How often should I wax?

Consistency is key! To reap the best results, we recommend scheduling your following appointment 3-6 weeks after your initial service, depending on your individual hair growth cycle.

What do I wear to my waxing appointment?

We recommend wearing loose fitted clothing around the area that you are having waxed for maximum comfort. For bikini and Brazilian waxes, we recommend wearing cotton underwear to allow for this area to breathe properly.

What are the aftercare instructions for waxing?

For best results, we recommend the following guidelines.

• Avoid touching the waxed area and keep clean for 24 hours.

• Avoid excessive sun exposure for 48 hours, as your waxed skin is more susceptible to burning.

• Wait atleast 24 hours before spray tanning the waxed area.

• Avoid activities that may cause you to become extremely hot or sweaty for 24 hours including working out, swimming, baths, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, etc.

• Avoid friction from tight fitting, restrictive clothing for 24 hours as well as materials including spandex, lace, nylon, etc. We recommend loose fitted, cotton clothing to allow the area to breathe.

• Avoid any form of fragrance on the area for 24 hours including perfume, makeup, deodorant, etc. that may cause irritation.

• Use a physical or chemical exfoliant on the waxed area after 48 hours to prevent ingrown hairs. Continue exfoliating 2-3 times per week. At Honey, we have several products our clients love.

• Avoid shaving between appointments and exfoliate 24-48 hours prior to your appointment

Who should not get waxed?

If you are on or have been on Accutane within the last year, then you should not be waxed. You must be off this medication for a minimum of one year prior to waxing. The skin is highly sensitive during and after this medication. Waxing will pull on the skin and may cause a wound resulting in permanent scarring.
