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

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

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 Get My Skin Ready for My Wax Reservation?

Your visit at European Wax Center - Reston 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.

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

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 Long Should I Wait Before My Next Bikini Wax or Brazilian Wax?

Most enjoy 3–4 weeks between bikini wax reservations; however, everyone’s hair growth cycle is a little different. The time in between your wax service may be more or less than someone else’s. If you want to keep your skin feeling smoother for longer, ask your wax specialist about using the products in our EWC Treat® collection.
