Frequently Asked Questions

To get the best results, your hair should be at least ¼” long, or the length of a long grain of rice. This takes the average person 2 weeks.

If you’re unsure if your hair is long enough, err on the side of caution and let it grow a few more days. Exfoliation may also help.

If you’ve been shaving, there may be a transition period. It generally requires 2-3 consistent waxes at a 4 to 6 week interval to achieve optimal results.

Optimal results include 3 to 4 weeks of hairlessness, hair coming in more softly, and reduction in hair growth.
