Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Under Arms.

Most clients enjoy smooth underarms for three to six weeks, depending on individual hair growth, hormone levels, and aftercare. Regular waxing can lengthen intervals between appointments and often produces finer regrowth over time.

Some discomfort is normal when removing hair from the root, but treatments are quick. Estheticians use techniques to minimize pain, and pre-care like exfoliation and avoiding caffeine can help. Regular waxing also reduces sensitivity over time.

Trim hair to about quarter-inch if necessary, avoid heavy deodorant and recent sun exposure, exfoliate gently a day or two before, and arrive with clean, dry underarms. Inform your esthetician about allergies or medications affecting skin sensitivity.

Avoid vigorous exercise, hot showers, saunas, and deodorants for 24 hours. Keep the area clean, apply soothing aloe or recommended calming lotion, and exfoliate gently after 48-72 hours to prevent ingrown hairs and maintain smooth results.

Certain medications, like strong retinoids or topical prescription treatments, can increase skin sensitivity and risk of irritation. Disclose any medications during booking. Your esthetician may advise postponing waxing or require medical clearance to protect your skin.

Most clients return every three to six weeks depending on individual hair growth. As waxing is repeated, regrowth typically slows, allowing longer intervals. Your esthetician will recommend a personalized schedule based on results and your desired level of smoothness.
