Here are the answers to some questions that are frequently asked at our wax salon.

Can I Shave Before My Waxing Service in Alexandria?

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.

What Do I Need to do to Get My Skin Wax Ready?

Your visit at European Wax Center - Alexandria - Alexandria Commons is all about giving you the pampering you need to feel like the star you are. Because of this, we recommend avoiding anything that could cause discomfort during your wax reservation. Tanning, consuming alcohol, and drinking significant amounts of caffeine can cause your pores to tighten and your skin to be more sensitive during treatment. Let your wax specialist know if you’re on any medications so that we can ensure a safe waxing experience. Ask your doctor if you have any questions regarding the medications you’re on.

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

Yes! Our wax specialists are more than happy to provide waxing services for you during your time of the month. Please keep in mind, your skin will be more sensitive, so your experience may feel less comfortable than usual.

Brazilian Wax: What to Expect at Your First Visit

If it's your first time getting a Brazilian or bikini wax, there's no need to feel nervous. We want you to feel at ease and informed about what to expect. During your reservation, our experienced wax specialists will guide you through the process step by step. First, they will cleanse the area to ensure proper wax adhesion. To protect and soothe your skin, a pre-wax oil is then applied. Next, our Comfort Wax®, a gentle and effective hard wax, is applied to the skin and removed without the need for a cloth strip. Finally, our wax specialists use our specially formulated after-wax products, such as 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!
