Will waxing make my hair grow back darker or thicker?

This is a myth about waxing and shaving. This misbelief may come from young women shaving their legs around puberty. Hormone changes affect how body hair grows, making it thicker and darker around puberty. Shaving and waxing are very different. Shaving is similar to mowing your lawn, the same hair grows after you cut it, just like the same blade of grass grows after it is cut by mowing. Cutting it doesn't affect how it grows. Now waxing we remove the hair from the root, and it actually has the opposite effect! By creating scratches in the walls of the follicles during removal, the body repairs it with scar tissue. Now with the layer of scar tissue bringing the walls of the follicle in further, it forces the hair to grow thinner and finer in order to grow out.

 

How long does waxing last?

Everybody is different, but we all have body hair that grows in 3 different cycles that are constantly shedding away and growing new hairs, so you don't notice. So, when you start waxing, you will notice the cycles because all of the hair will be gone. At first, you will only see about 1/3 of the hair grow back. How soon it grows after your wax is dependent on which cycle of hair you happen to be in on the day you come in.  This is why I offer a half-price clean up wax a week after your appointment if you are preparing for events like a vacation or a wedding/honeymoon, so we can ensure you are hairless for your big trip! Schedule these appointments in advance because I do book up!

Does BRAZILLIAN WAXING hurt?

The famous question is, “Does it hurt?” my answer is…. you will feel it! It is just like having your eyebrows waxed (or ripping a bandaid off your skin if you have never been waxed), you will feel it only right after the wax is removed. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but it is nothing you can’t handle. If the results of the waxing wasn’t worth it, nobody would be doing it.  The first is always the most uncomfortable because those hairs are being removed by the root for the first time. See me regularly for maintenance waxing, and every wax will get easier as your hair becomes thinner and finer. If you are concerned about the pain, ask me about a numbing cream when you schedule. You can also take tylenol before your appointment.
