Is Waxing Sanitary?

Our salons are held to the top sanitary standards. Each treatment room is thoroughly sanitized. Our wax specialists never double dip our sticks. You can be sure that you are receiving a clean service every time you walk into The Wax Strip.

Can I be waxed if I'm taking Accutane?

Unfortunately, we cannot wax any client currently using Accutane. The client needs to be off Accutane for the same duration of time they actively took it. We can however tweeze your brows to perfection.

Can I tan before or after waxing?

You should wait 24-48 hours to get waxed after you have tanned. You should never get waxed if you are sunburned or even if skin is pink. The very top layer of skin could “lift” which is painful and can result in scabbing. You should wait for 24-48 hours after you have waxed to tan. Waxed skin is more is more susceptible to burning.

What's the difference between Bikini, French, and Brazilian?

Bikini: Our Basic Bikini will ensure you are bathing suit ready! This wax includes two inches off each side of the bikini like and one inch off the top. French: The French Wax goes one step further than the Basic Bikini, with one strip from the top down and includes between the cheeks. Brazilian: Our Brazilian will leave you smooth front to back! You can even leave a strip on front.

How long should my hair be before I wax?

For any body waxing service we recommend a full 2 weeks of growth from your last shave or trim. Three weeks from Nair or similar products. Underarms are the exception with only 1.5-2 weeks of growth.

Is it okay to shave between waxes?

We don’t advise shaving in between waxes. Waxing slows down and reduces hair growth. Hair also grows much thinner thus making it easier to remove and less painful when waxed. Shaving just one time in between will negate all that is gained from waxing and can further irritate follicles which can cause ingrown hairs
