How long does it last?
It’ll be super smooth at least a week. Some people grow hair back quicker, thicker, uneven. How quickly your hair grows back is based on many factors. 3 weeks would be the soonest you could get waxed again.

What kind of wax is used?
We are Soft Wax specialists. If you prefer hard wax, we will gladly recommend a nearby wax salon that uses hard wax. Our soft wax is low temperature, has an incredible formula, pulls every hair and is good for the most delicate skin types.
-
What is the difference between hard wax and soft wax?
It's mostly the formula; with hard wax hardening the moment it starts to cool down. It is applied in a thick layer and as it cools down is trapping the hair within the wax. Once the wax has completely cooled down, the hard wax is removed and the hair goes with it. Hard wax may require 2-3 applications per area of the skin to complete a smooth result. Soft wax achieves a smooth result that only requires one layer of application. Our soft wax is oil soluble and works well with almost all skin types. With proper application and removal, soft wax is guaranteed to give you the cleanest finish in the quickest way possible.
