Waxing FAQs

Waxing is the best way to temporarily remove unwanted hair.

Unlike shaving, which cuts hair at the skin's surface, waxing removes it from the root. This keeps your skin smoother for longer.

With regular waxing, you will notice finer and sparser regrowth, although results vary from person to person.

The experience is different for everyone. Waxing can cause brief discomfort, especially during your first appointment or when treating more sensitive areas.

With my experience and techniques, I do my best to make the process as quick and comfortable as possible.

Many people find subsequent appointments easier, although I can't promise that waxing will be completely painless.

I'd prefer you not to use a numbing cream without discussing it with me first.

Some topical anesthetics can cause irritation or allergic reactions, while reduced sensation in the area may make it harder to notice an unwanted skin reaction.

If you're concerned about discomfort, let's talk before your appointment. I'll explain the process and discuss ways to make your experience more comfortable.

If you're considering a numbing cream or pain relief medication, please consult a healthcare professional or pharmacist first. Don't take medication specifically for your appointment without appropriate advice.

For the best results, your hair should be approximately 0.5 - 1 cm long.

A handy rule of thumb is that you should be able to pinch the hair easily between your fingers.

If it's too short, the wax may not grip it properly. If it's too long, waxing may feel more uncomfortable or increase the chance of hair breakage.

If you normally shave or use hair removal creams, I usually recommend allowing around 3 weeks of hair growth before your appointment.

The ideal frequency depends on the area being treated, your hair growth and your individual needs.

For most people, an appointment every 3–5 weeks works well. Others may prefer an interval of 6–8 weeks.

If you shave or use hair removal cream between appointments, your hair may grow back at different lengths, making it harder to remove everything evenly at your next wax.

I'll help you find a schedule that suits your hair growth pattern.

No! Waxing doesn't create new hair follicles or cause hair to grow back thicker or darker. A waxed hair is removed from the root and when the hair starts to grow back it’s a new hair, very fine at the tip, so no stubble.

With repeated waxing, you will notice finer and sparser regrowth.

It's possible to experience temporary redness, sensitivity or small bumps around the hair follicles. The type and duration of the reaction depend on your skin, the area treated and other individual factors.

Following the right preparation and aftercare instructions can help reduce the risk of irritation. You can also read my Post-Waxing Do's and Don'ts for practical advice.

There isn't one age limit that applies to every waxing service.

For all clients under 18, written consent from a parent or legal guardian is required, and a parent or guardian must accompany them on their first visit.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer. What matters most is that waxing is the child's own choice, without pressure from family members or anyone else. If your child is persistent with a request for its body hair to be removed, then I suggest you bring them off waxing, so they don’t sneak off with a razor and potentially injure themselves.

Before deciding, we'll discuss the child's needs, skin condition and whether waxing is appropriate. If we go ahead, occasional appointments may be enough, sometimes every 3–4 months, depending on the individual.

If the child feels uncomfortable, changes their mind or asks to stop, I'll respect their decision immediately.

Written consent from a parent or legal guardian is required for every minor.

Of course! A parent or legal guardian is welcome to stay in the treatment room, provided this is also what the child wants.

My priority is to make sure the child feels safe, comfortable and respected throughout the appointment.

It can be, but it depends on your skin's condition and individual sensitivity.

I use different types of wax and adapt my technique to the area being treated and your skin's needs.

However, if you have active irritation, damaged skin, a skin condition or another contraindication, we may need to postpone the treatment or consider a different hair removal method.

I'll assess the area beforehand and discuss anything that could affect your comfort or safety.

Possibly, yes. Some medications, topical products and health conditions can make your skin more sensitive, fragile or prone to irritation and injury.

That's why I ask you to complete a detailed consultation form before your first appointment and assess the treatment area before each waxing session.

It's especially important to let me know if you're using retinoids, acne medications, exfoliating acids or other treatments that may affect your skin.

You can find more information in my Waxing Contraindications guide.

Never stop taking prescribed medication without your doctor's advice. If there's any uncertainty, we'll postpone waxing until it's clear that the treatment can be performed safely.

Absolutely! Having your period doesn't automatically mean you need to postpone your appointment.

However, you may feel more sensitive to waxing before or during your period. If you're having intimate waxing, you can use a clean tampon. Just let me know if any adjustments are needed. What matters most is that you feel comfortable with your choice.

Waxing is suitable during pregnancy, but we need to consider your individual circumstances. If you're experiencing complications, have specific medical instructions or have any concerns, please consult your healthcare professional first.

We'll assess whether waxing is appropriate and adapt the treatment where possible.

Keep in mind that hormonal changes can make your skin more sensitive and waxing more uncomfortable.

Yes! If your piercing is in the area being waxed, please let me know before we begin.

Depending on its location and whether it's fully healed, you may need to remove it temporarily, or I may be able to work around it. I won't apply wax over broken or unhealed skin.

Yes, waxing is still possible, but we'll need to assess the area first. If you have hemorrhoids, please let me know before your appointment. There's absolutely no reason to feel embarrassed.

If you're experiencing active inflammation, pain, bleeding or irritation, we may need to avoid the affected area or postpone waxing until the symptoms have settled. We'll discuss the most appropriate options with your comfort and safety in mind.

If you're new to waxing and have a wedding, holiday or another special occasion coming up, I recommend planning ahead.

Ideally, try to have at least three waxing sessions before your event so we can better understand how your skin responds.

For your final appointment, I recommend leaving around 3 days before the event.

If you already wax regularly, scheduling your appointment 2 - 3 days beforehand is usually a good option, provided your skin responds well.

Depending on the area and your skin's needs, I use different types of third-generation waxes, including Film Wax and Soft Wax.

I choose vegan, hypoallergenic formulations with low melting points, designed to minimize unnecessary stress on the skin during application and removal. Combined with my experience and technique, my aim is to provide effective hair removal while keeping you as comfortable as possible.

I also have hypoallergenic, vegan Sugar Paste available when I feel it may be a suitable option.

Hygiene and safety are among my top priorities during every treatment. I use latex-free disposable gloves, single-use spatulas and disposable medical paper coverings on the treatment bed.

Before waxing, I prepare your skin carefully and follow procedures designed to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

Film Wax is portioned separately for each client, and any unused product is discarded after the appointment. For Soft Wax and Sugar Paste, I use single-use cartridges, while reusable equipment is properly cleaned, disinfected or sterilized as appropriate.

I also assess your skin and consider possible contraindications before proceeding.

The right preparation and aftercare can help reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs and some types of irritation.

Once your skin has settled after waxing, gentle exfoliation and regular moisturizing may help as part of your skincare routine.

It's also important to minimize friction, avoid very tight clothing and resist picking at ingrown hairs.

I'll recommend suitable aftercare based on your skin and the area treated.

At Every Body, there's no room for judgment, stereotypes or unrealistic expectations about how a body should look.

I'm not concerned about your body's shape, size, hair growth or any other physical characteristic. What matters to me is that you feel safe, respected and comfortable receiving the care you've chosen.

You don't need to change your appearance for me. Your body is already welcome here.

For a Brazilian wax, you'll need to remove your clothing and underwear from the waist down so I can properly access the treatment area.

I understand that this may feel a little awkward, especially if it's your first visit. I'll explain the process, respect your privacy and do my best to help you feel comfortable.

I have extensive experience with intimate waxing and approach every body professionally and without judgment.

Sometimes an involuntary physical response can happen during a treatment. There's no need to feel embarrassed.

As long as your behaviour remains appropriate and respectful, we can continue as normal.

However, sexual harassment, inappropriate comments or behaviour of any kind will not be tolerated. If this happens, the treatment will end immediately and no future bookings will be accepted.

These boundaries apply to everyone, regardless of gender or anatomy.

There's no need to feel awkward!

Your privacy and confidentiality are very important to me. I won't disclose to anyone that you visit Every Body or which services you receive.

If we happen to meet in public, it's entirely up to you whether you'd like to say hello or prefer not to acknowledge me.

Whether we exchange a quick smile or stop for a chat, I'll always respect your choice.
