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

Can I Shave Before My Waxing Service in Chicago?

We say let the hair grow to about ¼ inch (the length of a sprinkle). This gives our Comfort Wax® room to grab the hair and give you the smooth look you want. For first-time guests, this means refraining from shaving at least two weeks prior to your wax.

How Do I Get Ready for My First Wax?

To get your skin wax ready, we advise that you refrain from tanning, drinking significant amounts of caffeine, or consuming alcohol prior to your wax service. They can cause your pores to tighten and make your experience 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.

Can I Wax During My Time of the Month?

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

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

The time between waxing services varies from person to person. On average, a bikini wax lasts between 3–4 weeks. If you’re looking to keep your skin smoother for longer, we recommend using the products in our EWC Treat® collection. These products are designed to give your skin the daily pampering it deserves.
