Can I Shave Before My Waxing Service in Pittsburgh?

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 Get My Skin Ready for My Wax Reservation?

Our experts at European Wax Center - McCandless 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.

I’m On My Period. Can I Still Get Waxed?

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 Visit

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 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!
