First time? Not to worry! Here at Strip Waxing Studio you are in the hands of a professional. First things first, make sure to let hair grow for at least 2 weeks (14 days) before your appointment to ensure your hair is the proper length for a treatment. Next, secure your appointment time by booking a service online at stripwaxingatx.com or by calling (512) 294-2117. Taking an ibuprofen or Tylenol 30 minutes before your appointment can help reduce treatment discomfort, though it is entirely optional. Wear loose-fitting clothing and refrain from using heavy lotions or creams on the area. Avoid steaming hot showers, saunas, and tubs. Since caffeine can heighten skin sensitivity, it's best to skip it on the day of your appointment.

Waxing typically keeps the skin smooth for 3-6 weeks, depending on individual hair growth cycles, skin health, and regularity. Consistent waxing often leads to longer-lasting results. However, dehydrated skin, lack of exfoliation, and shaving between waxing sessions can disrupt hair cycles and significantly shorten the smooth period.

Hair length should be ¼ of an inch (about the size of a grain of rice) or allowing at least 2 weeks’ time of growth without shaving or trimming. Hair that is shorter than this will not allow for the wax to grip the hair properly and remove effectively.

Although waxing can be painful, most people find it tolerable. Taking Tylenol or ibuprofen 30 minutes before your appointment can help reduce discomfort. Additionally, the pain of waxing tends to decrease with regular treatments.

Removing hair by shaving, waxing, or tweezing can cause ingrown hairs, with curly hair being particularly susceptible. Regular exfoliation between waxing sessions can help reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs.

Common side effects include redness, irritation, and temporary bumps.

Redness and irritation after waxing are common, especially for those new to waxing or with very sensitive skin. This redness and irritation typically subside after a day or two. You can apply a cold compress to the area for relief. If the reaction lasts longer than two days, using a soothing lotion can help clear it up.

Yes, absolutely! Be sure to wear a disc, cup, or tampon. Keep in mind that menstruation can increase sensitivity, which may make your waxing treatment more uncomfortable.

Waxing is considered safe for those who are pregnant, however it is always best to confirm with your doctor. Pregnancy can increase sensitivity, which may make your treatment more uncomfortable.

For best results, schedule waxing appointments every 4-6 weeks

Waxing removes hair from the root, leading to longer-lasting results compared to shaving. Over time, it can result in finer and sparser hair growth. Waxing also exfoliates the skin, leaving it smooth and soft.

After your waxing treatment, for 24-48 hours, avoid sun exposure, saunas, hot showers or baths, excessive sweating, tight clothing, and friction in the area. Also, refrain from using heavy creams or moisturizers.

Most people can get waxed, but those with certain skin conditions, allergies to wax ingredients, or taking specific medications like Retin-A or Accutane should avoid waxing. Always consult with a doctor if you have concerns.
