Avoid sun exposure, exfoliate gently three days prior, and ensure hair is about a quarter-inch long. Arrive clean and avoid lotions or oils so the wax adheres properly. Communicate any skin sensitivities with your esthetician before starting.

Hair should be approximately one quarter inch long (about the length of a grain of rice). Too-short hair won't adhere to wax; if it's too long, a light trim can make the service quicker and more comfortable.

Some clients experience temporary redness or sensitivity; proper technique and aftercare minimize irritation. Regular exfoliation and moisturizing reduce ingrown hairs. If you have concerns like eczema or certain medications, consult Joice beforehand to assess suitability.

Sensitivity varies by person and area; many feel brief discomfort during waxing. Joice uses gentle techniques to reduce pain. Topical numbing creams can sometimes be used; discuss options and allergies ahead of your appointment.

Most clients return every four to six weeks depending on personal hair growth patterns and comfort. Consistent waxing often makes regrowth finer and sparser, allowing longer intervals after several treatments. Joice will recommend a schedule tailored to your needs.

Shaving between sessions shortens the time waxing is effective because it removes hair differently. It's best to allow regrowth to about one quarter inch. If needed, trim rather than shave; avoid shaving a few days before your appointment to ensure proper wax adhesion.
