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 Washington?

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.

How Do I Prepare for My Wax?

Our experts at European Wax Center - Washington DC - Mount Vernon are all about giving you the luxurious wax experience you deserve. Prior to your reservation, we recommend refraining from tanning and consuming alcohol or significant amounts of caffeine. This can cause your pores to tighten and leave your skin more sensitive during treatment. Are you on medication? Let your wax specialist know so that they can ensure a safe experience.

Can I Get Waxed If I’m Having My Period?

Yes! Our wax specialists are more than happy to provide waxing services for you during your time of the month. Please keep in mind, your skin will be more sensitive, so your experience may feel less comfortable than usual.

Brazilian Wax: What to Expect at 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 Long Should I Wait Before My Next Bikini Wax or Brazilian Wax?

The hair growth cycle varies from person to person, so you may need more or less time between wax services than others. Typically, your bikini wax should last between 3–4 weeks. Book your reservation for a bikini or Brazilian wax near you today and experience unbelievably smooth skin. P.S. Don’t forget to ask your wax specialist about using the products in our EWC Treat® collection to keep your skin smoother for longer!
