Waxing in Tallahassee

Facial waxing

Facial waxing covers the brows, upper and lower lip, chin, sides of the face, forehead, neck, nostrils and ears. Each small area takes only a few minutes. If your skin is sensitive or you use retinol or acne medication, ask about threading instead. It removes facial hair just as well without lifting any skin.

Body waxing

Body waxing is where wax beats every other method for speed. We offer half and full arms, half and full legs, under arms, chest, belly, and half and full back. Let your hair grow to about a quarter inch, roughly two to three weeks after shaving, so the wax has something to grip.

Brazilian and bikini waxing in Tallahassee

We offer bikini line and Brazilian waxing in a private room. For your first Brazilian, plan for about 20 to 30 minutes, and avoid shaving for two to three weeks beforehand. Taking an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your visit can help, and so can avoiding caffeine that day. After waxing, wear loose clothing and skip the gym, the pool and hot tubs for 24 hours.

Waxing every four to six weeks keeps the hair on the same growth cycle, so each visit tends to be quicker and more comfortable than the last.

Waxing aftercare

For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid hot showers, saunas, tanning and direct sun on the waxed area. Hold off on heavy workouts for a day. After 48 hours, start exfoliating gently two or three times a week to help prevent ingrown hairs, and keep the skin moisturized.
