Get answers to common questions about Hands Wax.

Most clients enjoy smooth hands for three to six weeks, depending on hair growth cycle and aftercare. Regular waxing can slow regrowth and make hair finer. Individual results vary; scheduling every four to six weeks maintains best, consistent results.

You may feel brief discomfort during hair removal, similar to a quick sting. Our trained estheticians use gentle techniques, appropriate wax, and calming skin prep to minimize pain. Numbing options and post-care reduce sensitivity for a more comfortable experience.

Clean, dry skin with no lotions or oils the day of your appointment. Trim overly long nails and avoid sun exposure, retinoids, or exfoliation 48 hours prior. Arrive with skin at natural oil balance for safest, most effective wax.

Avoid waxing if you have active skin infections, open wounds, sunburn, recent chemical peels, or are using isotretinoin or other strong retinoids. Inform your esthetician about medical conditions, medications, or pregnancy so we can recommend safe alternatives.

Typically wait four to six weeks between sessions so hair reaches proper length for waxing. Individual growth rates vary; your esthetician will advise based on hair thickness and response. Regular appointments can reduce frequency over time.

Keep hands clean and moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion. Avoid hot water, heavy exercise, saunas, exfoliation, or strong products for 24-48 hours. Use SPF outdoors and apply soothing aloe or cooling gel for redness or irritation as needed.
