Waxing results typically last 3-4 weeks, 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.

Some discomfort during waxing is normal, but it’s often less intense than people expect. With regular waxing, the hair grows back thinner and less dense, making the process less painful over time. Experienced technicians at The Gold Standard Beauty & Skin use techniques and products to minimize discomfort and provide aftercare advice to soothe the skin.

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.

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.

Following proper aftercare, like avoiding heat and applying soothing balms, can help reduce irritation and redness.

Waxing is a versatile hair removal method suitable for various areas of the body. Popular options include legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, face, and brows. Each area can benefit from smooth, hair-free results that last longer than shaving. The Gold Standard Beauty & Skin offers personalized services to help you feel confident and polished.

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.

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 moisturizer to calm and hydrate the skin.

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.

Yes, waxing is generally safe during pregnancy. However, due to hormonal changes, your skin may be more sensitive. It's best to let your technician know about your pregnancy so they can take extra care during the treatment. If you’re unsure, consult your healthcare provider before your appointment.

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.
