Here are the answers to some questions that are frequently asked at our wax salon.

Can I Shave Before My Waxing Service in Alameda?

We recommend that you let your hair grow to about ¼ inch long, or the length of a sprinkle. For first-time waxers, that’s about two weeks without shaving before your reservation. Having the hair a little longer gives our Comfort Wax® room to grip around the hair and results in a smoother finish.

What Do I Need to do to Get My Skin Wax Ready?

We totally understand. At European Wax Center - Alameda, we’re all about giving you a luxurious experience during every wax service. That’s why we recommend staying away from activities that could affect your comfort level while waxing. This includes tanning, consuming alcohol, and drinking significant amounts of caffeine. If you’re on any medications, let your wax specialist know as some medications can affect how your body responds to the wax.

It’s My Time of the Month. Can I Still Get a Wax?

Yes! Our wax specialists are happy to give you smooth, radiant skin when you’re on your cycle. Just keep in mind that your skin will be more sensitive, and you may experience a bit more discomfort than you have in the past.

Brazilian Wax: What to Expect at Your First Visit

First time getting a Brazilian wax? No need to worry! Here’s what to expect during your wax service. First, our experienced wax specialists will cleanse the area to prepare your skin for waxing. They will then apply a pre-wax oil to protect and soothe your skin, minimizing any potential discomfort. Using our renowned Comfort Wax®, a specially formulated hard wax, our experts apply it to your skin and remove it without the need for a cloth strip. This method is known for its effectiveness and gentle approach. Finally, to soothe and rejuvenate your skin, our after-wax lotions and serums are applied to leave you silky smooth.

How Long Should I Wait Before My Next Bikini Wax or Brazilian Wax?

The time between waxing services varies from person to person. On average, a bikini wax lasts between 3–4 weeks. If you’re looking to keep your skin smoother for longer, we recommend using the products in our EWC Treat® collection. These products are designed to give your skin the daily pampering it deserves.
