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

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

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 Prepare for My Wax?

At European Wax Center - Rittenhouse, 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?

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.

How Long Will My Bikini Wax or Brazilian Wax Last?

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 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!
