Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Upper Arms.

Most clients enjoy smooth upper arms for four to six weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle and thickness. With regular waxing, intervals may lengthen as hair often becomes finer and sparser. Individual results vary; we can advise a timeline during your visit.

There is some discomfort as hair is removed from the root, but sensitivity is brief. We use gentle warm wax, expert technique, and soothing botanicals to minimize pain. Apply light ibuprofen beforehand if needed, and talk to us about numbing options for extra comfort.

Ensure hair is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long for effective waxing. Avoid heavy exfoliation 24-48 hours before, skip retinoids for a week, and arrive with clean, dry skin. Hydrate and inform us of any skin sensitivities or medications.

Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and heavy sweating for 24 hours; skip sun exposure and tanning for 48 hours. Apply our botanical soothe oil, gently exfoliate after 48 hours, wear loose clothing, and follow provided aftercare to reduce irritation and support healing.

Waxing can cause ingrown hairs or temporary irritation in some people, especially with curly or coarse hair. Proper technique, regular exfoliation, and our soothing products greatly reduce risk. We offer personalized tips and treatments to manage and prevent ingrowns effectively.

Most guests book Upper Arms waxing every four to six weeks, though timing varies by individual growth rates. After several sessions many clients see longer intervals. We recommend scheduling based on your regrowth pattern; our staff will suggest the ideal frequency for you.
