What Is Facial Waxing?
Facial waxing is used to remove unwanted hair from any area of the face, including the upper lip, chin, and cheeks. Waxing is effective at removing hair from a larger area where plucking would be inefficient.
Benefits of Facial Waxing
There are many benefits of facial waxing:
Efficient. Waxing can remove hair from a larger area all at once with a single pull.
Leaves smooth skin. Waxing leaves skin feeling smooth and soft after hair removal.
Pulls hairs out from the roots. Each hair is completely removed, including the root, so that it takes much longer to grow back.
Less chance of ingrown hairs. When the entire hair is removed from the root there is a much lower chance of developing ingrown hairs.
Long lasting results. After waxing it can take 2-3 weeks for the hair to grow back.
Gradually lessens hair growth. Over time waxing will gradually lead to finer and fewer hairs growing back. You may find that you can go longer between waxing appointments.
The Facial Waxing Procedure
Facial waxing is done in the following steps:
Consultation. The first step is a consultation to discuss your hair removal goals. Then we will create a plan to help you achieve your desired results.
Cleaning the skin. The skin will be cleaned first to remove oil and makeup.
Applying the wax. The wax is applied to the area with unwanted hair.
Removing the wax. The removal strip is applied to the wax and gently removed, along with the hair.
Applying soothing cream. A soothing cream is applied to the skin to reduce irritation and redness.

Frequently Asked Questions About Facial Waxing
Does facial waxing hurt?
There may be some mild discomfort when the wax is removed and afterwards. Soothing cream is applied afterwards to reduce irritation. Once you get used to waxing it is much more comfortable. Many regular waxing clients don’t feel any discomfort whatsoever.
Is facial waxing safe?
Waxing is a safe, non-invasive procedure. We use a gentle, lavender essential oil infused wax that is imported from Italy.
Will waxing make the hair grow back thicker and darker?
That is a common myth that has been proven false. The truth is that over time waxing thins the hair so that it grows back less and less and becomes finer.
Is waxing better than bleaching unwanted hair?
If you have dark facial hair, bleaching it can lighten the color to make it less noticeable. But wax completely removes the hair, leaving the skin smooth. And wax contains fewer harsh chemicals than bleaching.
How do I know if I need facial waxing?
It is up to you if you think you need facial waxing. If you have unwanted hair on your face that you notice and it makes you feel self-conscious, waxing provides a solution that will help you feel better about your appearance.
