Waxing · Brighton, MI
Waxing
Clean, smooth skin that lasts for weeks, not days. Waxing removes hair from the root, so it grows back slower than it does after shaving, and every service happens one-on-one in a calm, private studio rather than a busy salon floor.
The waxing menu
Eyebrow shaping and clean-up, tailored to the natural arch and balance of your features. Upper lip. Underarm. Lower arm, from the elbow down. Lower leg, from the knee down. Book one on its own, or pair a brow wax with a facial or lash lift in the same visit.
Before your appointment
Wax grips best when hair is about a quarter inch long, roughly two to three weeks of growth after shaving. Come with clean skin and skip heavy lotions on the area that day. If you use any acne medication, tell us when you book. Topical retinoids and some acne products can leave facial skin too fragile to wax, and we'll plan around them. Oral isotretinoin (Accutane) is different: dermatologists advise against waxing anywhere on the body while you take it and for six months after your last dose, so check with the clinician who prescribes it before booking a wax.
Aftercare
For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid hot showers, saunas, workouts that make you sweat heavily, direct sun and tanning, and exfoliating the area. After that, gentle exfoliation a couple of times a week helps keep ingrown hairs away as the hair grows back.
Ready when you are
Book WaxingQuestions
- How long does waxing last?
- Typically three to six weeks, depending on the area and your natural hair growth. Brows usually want a tidy-up every three to four weeks.
- How long should my hair be before waxing?
- About a quarter inch, which is roughly two to three weeks of growth after shaving. Shorter hair is hard for the wax to grip.
- Does waxing hurt?
- There's a quick sting as each strip comes off, and it eases fast. Most people find it gets easier with regular appointments.
- Can I wax if I use retinoids or acne medication?
- Tell us when you book, whatever the area. Topical retinoids and some acne products can make facial skin too fragile to wax, so that may need to wait. If you take oral isotretinoin (Accutane), or have in the last six months, dermatologists advise against waxing anywhere on the body; check with the clinician who prescribes it before booking, and keep taking it as prescribed.
