Brazilian wax FAQs

Does a Brazilian wax hurt?

Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but most clients say it’s quicker and easier than they expected. We offer both hard and soft wax to find what works best for you.

How long should my hair be?

About ¼ inch — or roughly two weeks of growth. When in doubt, longer is better than too short.

Can I wax during my period?

Yes, if you’re comfortable. Wear a fresh tampon or menstrual cup and let your esthetician know.

How long will I stay smooth?

Most clients enjoy smooth results for about three to four weeks. With consistent waxing, regrowth often becomes softer and finer.

How often should I rebook?

Every four to six weeks is ideal. Stay on a consistent schedule for smoother, longer-lasting results.

Book the studio that fits you: Baltimore, Perry Hall, or Newark. Cancel at least 24 hours ahead.

Medication and Allergies
