Here are the answers to some of our frequently asked questions!

Q: Can I Shave Before My Waxing Service in Oakland?

A: Shaving before your wax appointment is a no-no. Before your first wax, we recommend letting your hair grow for at least two weeks or until the hair is about ¼ inch long. This gives our Comfort Wax™ room to grip the hair and leave your skin silky smooth.

Q: How Do I Get My Skin Ready for My Wax Appointment?

A: At European Wax Center - Oakland, we’re all about giving you the pampering you need to enjoy skin that always strikes the right note. However, some activities, like tanning, consuming alcohol, and drinking significant amounts of caffeine, can cause your pores to tighten and your experience to be 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. Talk to your doctor before your wax appointment if you have any concerns about a medication.

Q: I’m Having My Period. Can I Still Get Waxed?

A: 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.

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

A: The hair growth cycle varies from person to person, so you may need more or less time between waxing services than others. However, the average bikini wax lasts between 3-4 weeks. Ask your wax specialist about using the products in our Strut 365® collection to keep your skin smoother for longer!
