Frequently Asked Questions
Waxing Treatments
How long do waxing results last?
Waxing results typically last 2-3weeks, though this can vary based on your individual hair growth cycle. With consistent waxing, hair tends to grow back finer and slower, extending the time between sessions. Regular appointments help maintain smoother skin for longer periods, as the hair follicle weakens over time.
Does waxing hurt?
Some discomfort during waxing is normal, but it’s often much less intense than people expect. With regular waxing, hair grows back thinner and less dense, making the process easier over time. At The Gold Standard Beauty & Skin, we use gentle techniques and high-quality products to minimise discomfort and always provide aftercare advice to help soothe your skin.
How should I prepare for a waxing appointment?
Preparation is key for a successful waxing experience. Exfoliate your skin 24 hours before to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs. On the day of your appointment, avoid applying lotions, oils, or creams to the area, as these can prevent the wax from adhering properly. Stay hydrated and, if needed, take an over-the-counter pain reliever 30 minutes before your session.
Can I wax if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, you can still wax if you have sensitive skin. It’s important to let us know about your skin type or any conditions beforehand so we can tailor the treatment to your needs. We use a gentler wax formula designed for sensitive skin and provide calming aftercare recommendations. Following proper aftercare, such as avoiding heat and applying soothing balms, helps reduce irritation and redness.
What areas of the body can be waxed?
Waxing is a versatile hair removal method that works for many areas of the body, including legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, face, and brows. Each treatment leaves you with smooth, long-lasting results that go beyond what shaving can achieve. At The Gold Standard Beauty & Skin, we provide personalised waxing services to help you feel confident, polished, and perfectly cared for.
How long should my hair be for waxing?
For the best results, hair should be at least ¼ inch long (about the length of a grain of rice). This allows the wax to grip the hair effectively and remove it from the root. If hair is too short, the wax may not adhere properly. If it’s too long, trimming it to the ideal length before your appointment can make the process smoother.
What should I avoid after waxing?
After waxing, avoid anything that can irritate your skin for at least 24-48 hours. This includes hot showers, saunas, swimming, sun exposure, and tight clothing. Refrain from using scented lotions or exfoliating the area. Instead, apply a soothing, fragrance-free moisturiser to calm and hydrate the skin.
How often should I wax?
To maintain smooth, hair-free skin, schedule waxing appointments every 3-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth rate. Consistent waxing weakens the hair follicles, leading to thinner, slower regrowth over time. Regular sessions also help reduce discomfort and make future waxing easier.
Can I wax if I’m pregnant?
Yes, waxing is generally safe during pregnancy. However, hormonal changes can make your skin more sensitive, so it’s important to let us know about your pregnancy beforehand. This allows us to take extra care and ensure your comfort during the treatment. If you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to consult your healthcare provider before your appointment.
Will waxing reduce hair growth over time?
Yes, regular waxing can lead to reduced hair growth over time. By removing hair from the root consistently, the hair follicles become weaker, resulting in finer, sparser hair. Some areas may eventually see significantly less hair growth, making maintenance easier and less frequent.
