FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS....

Does waxing hurt?

People have different tolerances. We have discovered that anticipation is much more intense than realization at Spa Jones. We get a lot of hugs after waxing and compliments that clients felt very comfortable with the service.

 

How long does the hair have to be?

Each hair grows at different speeds so the longer you wait, the more thorough the waxing. Do not cut, buzz or trim. If it is too short, it makes it more difficult for the wax to catch the hairs.

Hair is long enough to wax when you can pinch the hair and pull up, and you can lift up your skin.

 

How long does the waxing last?

You can come back in about four weeks.

 

What about Re-Growth?

Contrary to popular belief, Body Waxing does not promote more hair growth.  As you wax after re-growth, the hair follicle root begins to create thinner and thinner hair. You will begin to notice this by observing the white root ball getting smaller and smaller at the end of each hair. Eventually, it will become non-existent.

 

Will I have a reaction to Waxing?

Very few people have what is a histamine reaction to waxing.  You are welcome to come in for a free patch test wax anytime.

 

Why remove hair?

Waxing makes your skin smooth and silky and this result lasts a long time. In the more intimate areas it's really wonderful because hair holds on to odor. Without hair there, you can stay cleaner, longer.

 

What about if I am on my period?

Many clients come in when they are on their period. It may be a little more sensitive in your mind because you are a little more emotional with the hormone activity inside of you at that time. Physically it's really just the same. It is not a problem if you want to come in during that special time.

 

Can I tan after a wax?

Yes, but it is better to wait a few hours so your skin can re- acclimate after a wax. Don't come in after a spray on tan, our wax will clean the area right off. Spray tan after your waxing appointment. Don't come in if you are sun or tanning salon burned. Waxing already traumatized skin would not be advised.

 

I'm on Accutane / Medicine/ Exfoliants. Can I come in for a wax?

No. You must wait at least six weeks at the end of your medicinal treatment(s) to make sure everything is clear and skin cells and nerves are not so sensitive on and in your skin.
