How Long Is Long Enough for Waxing in Oakland?

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?

We totally understand. At European Wax Center - Oakland, 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.

Uh Oh, My Period Just Started. Can I Still Get Waxed?

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? Don’t worry! We’re here to walk you through the entire process, so you know what to expect. First, our wax specialists cleanse the bikini area to ensure optimal wax adhesion. A gentle pre-wax oil is then applied to protect and soothe your skin. This creates a barrier between the wax and your skin. Next, our Comfort Wax®, is precisely applied to your skin. Unlike traditional waxing methods, our specialists remove the wax without the need for a cloth strip, in order to minimize discomfort. Finally, we pamper your skin by applying our after-wax products that leave your skin feeling refreshed and revitalized.

Brazilian Wax: What to Expect for Your First Visit

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!
