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 New York?

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 Get My Skin Ready for My Wax Reservation?

Our experts at European Wax Center - New York - First Avenue 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 Wax During My Time of the Month?

Absolutely! You are more than welcome to come in for a wax service during your time of the month. Just remember, your skin will be more sensitive, and you may experience more discomfort than usual.

Brazilian Wax: What to Expect During Your Wax Service

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 Long Should I Wait Before 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.
