Can I Shave Before My Waxing Service in Chicago?

Our waxing experts recommend that you let the hair grow to about ¼ inch long, or the length of a sprinkle. This allows our Comfort Wax® to really adhere to the hair. If it’s your first-time waxing, refrain from shaving for at least two weeks prior to your wax reservation.

How Do I Get Ready for My First Wax?

We totally understand. At European Wax Center - Chicago - Lincoln Park, 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.

I’m On My Period. Can I Still Get Waxed?

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

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.

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!
