Q: Does waxing hurt?
A: There is some discomfort, but it’s quick and temporary. Most clients say it’s easier than they expected, and hair grows back finer after each visit.

Q: Can men get Brazilian or intimate waxing?
A: Yes! It’s discreet, professional, and completely tailored to your comfort level. Barbara specializes in helping men feel at ease in a no-judgment environment.
Q: How long will my results last?
A: On average, waxing results last 3–5 weeks depending on your personal hair growth cycle. We recommend rebooking every 4–6 weeks to maintain consistently smooth skin.
Q: How should I prepare before my appointment?
A: Allow hair to grow to about ¼ inch (roughly the length of a grain of rice). Exfoliate gently the day before, and avoid heavy lotions or oils on the day of your appointment.
Q: Why choose waxing over shaving?
A: Waxing removes hair from the root, which means smoother skin, slower regrowth, fewer ingrown hairs, and no daily stubble. It’s also a gentle exfoliation for healthier-looking skin.
Q: I’m nervous about my first wax — what should I know?
A: That’s completely normal! Your appointment will include a quick consult, a step-by-step explanation of the process, and aftercare instructions. Most clients say they wish they had started sooner.
