Our wax experts are willing to answer any questions you have. Here are some of the most common questions that our guests have.

Can I Shave Before My Waxing Service in Portland?

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.

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

At European Wax Center - Portland, 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.

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

We can absolutely provide a waxing service for you when Aunt Flo’s in town! Please keep in mind that your skin will be more sensitive, so you may experience 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.

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!
