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

How Long Does My Hair Have to be Before Scheduling a Waxing Service in Portsmouth?

Shaving before your reservation is a no-no. Before your first wax, we recommend letting your hair grow for at least two weeks, or until the hair is about ¼ inch long. This gives our Comfort Wax® room to grip the hair and leave your skin silky smooth.

How Do I Prepare for My Wax?

At European Wax Center - Portsmouth - Portsmouth Plaza, our waxing services are all about giving you touchable, smooth skin that leaves you feeling gorgeous. To ensure your utmost comfort during your wax service, we recommend avoiding tanning, drinking significant amounts of caffeine, and consuming alcohol prior to your reservation. These items can cause your pores to tighten, cause discomfort, and make your waxing session feel less than luxurious. Please let your wax specialist know if you’re on any medications to ensure that you are safe during your wax service.

Can I Wax During My Time of the Month?

You sure can! We are happy to help you get that smooth glow, even while you’re on your period. Just keep in mind that the skin is often more sensitive during this time, and may result in some added discomfort at the time of your wax service.

Brazilian Wax: What to Expect During Your Wax Service

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.

When Will I Need to Schedule 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!
