Don’t be shy, you can ask us anything! Here are some common questions we’ve gotten about the wax experience.

Does My Hair Have to be a Certain Length Before My Waxing Service in Burlingame?

There isn’t an exact length that your hair has to be in order to wax; however, our experts recommend that you let your hair grow to at least ¼ inch long (the size of a sprinkle) before your wax reservation. For first time guests, we recommend you stop shaving at least two weeks prior to your visit. The extra length allows our Comfort Wax® to grip around the hair more easily.

How Do I Get My Skin Ready for My Wax Reservation?

To get your skin wax ready, we advise that you refrain from tanning, drinking significant amounts of caffeine, or consuming alcohol prior to your wax service. They can cause your pores to tighten and make your experience less than luxurious. We recommend that you refrain from these activities in order to have the most comfortable experience possible. Some prescriptions can also affect your comfort during waxing, so be sure to let your wax specialist know if you’re on any medications.

Can I Wax During My Time of the Month?

We can absolutely provide a waxing service for you when Aunt Flo’s in town! Please keep in mind that your skin will be more sensitive, so you may experience more discomfort than you have in the past.

Brazilian Wax: What to Expect for Your First Visit

If you're feeling a bit nervous about your first Brazilian or bikini wax service, don’t fret! Here’s a breakdown of what to expect. Our experienced wax specialists begin by thoroughly cleansing the area to ensure proper adhesion of the wax. To protect and soothe your skin, a pre-wax oil is applied next. Our signature Comfort Wax®, a specialized hard wax, is carefully applied to the bikini area. The wax is then removed without the need for a cloth strip. Finally, our wax specialists apply our specially formulated after-wax body lotions and serums to nourish and revitalize your skin.

How Soon Will I Have to Come in for My Next Bikini Wax or Brazilian Wax?

While everyone’s hair growth cycle is different, the average time between bikini wax reservations is 3–4 weeks. You may need to schedule a wax service a little earlier or later. To keep that smooth glow for longer, talk with your wax specialist about the products in our EWC Treat® collection. Book your reservation for a bikini wax or Brazilian wax near you today!
