Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Brazilian Plum Wax.

Gently exfoliate two days before, ensure hair is about ¼ inch long, avoid sun exposure and retinoids 48 hours prior, and arrive clean. Skip heavy lotions and caffeine the day of for best adhesion and comfort.

Sensitivity varies, but our plum-based wax and gentle technique minimize discomfort. Numbing options available on request; breathing and relaxation methods help. Pain typically decreases with regular waxing as hair becomes finer and sparser.

Most clients enjoy smooth results for three to six weeks, depending on hair growth cycles and personal hormones. Regular waxing can extend intervals as regrowth becomes finer; follow recommended maintenance schedule for consistent results.

Waxing is generally safe during pregnancy, though skin sensitivity may increase. Let your technician know you're pregnant; we'll adjust pressure and timing. Avoid waxing during the first trimester if concerned and consult your doctor for personalized advice.

Avoid hot baths, tight clothing, and vigorous exercise for 24 hours. Apply soothing aloe or recommended post-wax serum, exfoliate gently after 48–72 hours, and use SPF when exposed to sun to prevent irritation and ingrown hairs.

Notify your technician before service; we offer ingredient lists and patch tests. If you have known allergies, we'll select alternative hypoallergenic wax or perform a small patch test to ensure safety and avoid adverse reactions.
