How Long Does My Hair Need to be for My Waxing Service in New York?

There isn’t an exact length that your hair has to be in order to wax; however, our experts recommend that you let your hair grow to at least ¼ inch long (the size of a sprinkle) before your wax reservation. For first time guests, we recommend you stop shaving at least two weeks prior to your visit. The extra length allows our Comfort Wax® to grip around the hair more easily.

I’m Nervous About My First Wax. How Do I Prepare?

We totally understand. At European Wax Center - New York - Harlem, 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.

Can I Get Waxed If I’m Having My Period?

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.

How Much Time Will I Have Between Brazilian Waxing or Bikini Waxing Reservations?

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!
