Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Underarm.

Underarm waxing commonly lasts three to six weeks depending on your hair growth cycle. Regular waxing can slow regrowth and soften hair over time; results vary by individual, hormones, and hair type.

No. Waxing removes hair from the root, which typically results in finer, sparser regrowth. Over time hairs often become softer and less noticeable; shaving is more likely to create the illusion of thicker hair.

Arrive with clean, dry underarms; avoid heavy creams, deodorants or perfumes. Hair should be about quarter-inch long (5-7 mm). Exfoliate gently 48 hours before and avoid sun exposure or retinoids prior to waxing.

Some discomfort is normal, especially on first sessions, but most clients report quick, manageable sensations. Reduce pain by taking over-the-counter pain relief an hour before, staying relaxed, and scheduling appointments when skin is not irritated.

Inform your technician about topical medications like retinoids, acne treatments, or prescription creams. Some increase sensitivity and require postponing waxing. Avoid deodorant on the day of service to ensure effective wax adhesion and reduce irritation.

Plan appointments every three to six weeks based on your individual regrowth. As you continue waxing, hair may grow back more slowly; your technician can recommend a personalized schedule for consistent smoothness.
