Does My Hair Have to be a Certain Length 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.

What Do I Need to do to Get My Skin Wax Ready?

Your visit at European Wax Center - Chicago - Old Town is all about giving you the pampering you need to feel like the star you are. Because of this, we recommend avoiding anything that could cause discomfort during your wax reservation. Tanning, consuming alcohol, and drinking significant amounts of caffeine can cause your pores to tighten and your skin to be more sensitive during treatment. Let your wax specialist know if you’re on any medications so that we can ensure a safe waxing experience. Ask your doctor if you have any questions regarding the medications you’re on.

It’s My Time of the Month. Can I Still Get a Wax?

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 it's your first time getting a Brazilian or bikini wax, there's no need to feel nervous. We want you to feel at ease and informed about what to expect. During your reservation, our experienced wax specialists will guide you through the process step by step. First, they will cleanse the area to ensure proper wax adhesion. To protect and soothe your skin, a pre-wax oil is then applied. Next, our Comfort Wax®, a gentle and effective hard wax, is applied to the skin and removed without the need for a cloth strip. Finally, our wax specialists use our specially formulated after-wax products, such as 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!
