Waxing Services

Waxing hair removal services can help you achieve smooth, hair-free skin for up to 4 weeks without shaving. Regular waxing (every 4-5 weeks) contributes to softer skin and thinner hair regrowth after regular sessions.  It can also minimize skin problems typically associated with shaving, such as ingrown hairs and irritation.

We are pleased to offer the best in sanitary, gentle, professional facial and body waxing using the finest european wax products.  We take utmost care to avoid cross contamination by thoroughly sanitizing all our tools and implements, and do not "double dip" but use a fresh stick for each application.  You can be assured that your therapist will treat you with respect and professionalism and  that you will be pleased with your results.  We also offer Kalo hair growth inhibitor and PFB Vanish products to help maintain your waxed areas and make touch-ups easier.   For our sensitive guests, we offer a numbing agent prior to waxing to minimize discomfort for a small fee, or you may purchase your own supply to use for future treatments.

We offer full facial and body waxing, including Brazilian bikini waxing for men and women.

To ensure a successful waxing experience, please note the following instructions and contra-indications:

If you are using bleaching agents for hair or skin, depilatories such as Nair, Benzoyl Peroxide for acne, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, oral antibiotics, Retinol, Salicitic Acid, or other exfoliants, or if you have a recent sunburn, have open wounds or moles, the areas affected cannot be waxed.  Although it is not contra-indicated, women are more sensitive for about a week before and during their menstrual period.  Please note that hair needs to be at least a minimum ¼ of an inch long for wax removal.

Waxing is not for everyone - Contraindications:

• If you are taking Accutane, you cannot wax any part of the body.  This medication causes the skin to become very thin and fragile, possibly causing the skin to tear.   Waxing can be resumed after a year of discontinuing the drug.
• Users of Retin-A can be waxed, but not on the areas where Retin-A is applied.
• Blood thinners, i.e. Coumadin. 
• Autoimmune diseases – lupus, AIDS
• Cancer therapy – chemotherapy, radiation
• Varicose veins or broken capillaries
• Bruising or poor circulation
• Broken skin, open skin infection, inflamed skin, or active herpes virus
• Any disease of the skin

• Recent scar tissue or operation
• The skin on an elderly client or diabetic
• Do not use a tanning bed 24 hours prior to waxing
• Do not use a depilatory cream for at least 1 week or more prior to waxing

Tips following waxing

• Your skin will be much more sensitive to the sun following waxing, so avoid sun exposure for at least 1 week after waxing and be sure to use sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
• Avoid use of scrubs, AHAs, glycolics, and other ingredients designed to peel or exfoliate the skin for 1 week following waxing.
• To avoid bumps and ingrown hairs after waxing, use a product such as "PFB Vanish " or Tend Skin".
• Keep the waxed area clean and dry for the next 24 hours, avoid synthetic clothing, sweating and hot tubs, and wear loose, cotton clothing.
• Do not apply deodorant to the undearms for 24 hours after waxing.
• To soothe any irritation, apply cold compresses to the affected area.
