Waxing is the most popular method of hair removal in spas today. Hair on any part of the body or face can be removed by waxing. Warm wax is applied to an area and then removed, taking the unwanted hair with it. There are two types of wax: hard and soft. Hard wax, which is easier on delicate skin, is often used for the face, underarms, legs and arms. Soft wax is typically used for the brows, legs, arms, back, and chest.

 

Waxing reduces hair growth when performed at regular intervals (depending on your hair cycle can be anywhere from 2-6 weeks). Because waxing pulls the hair out by the root, it grows back softer, finer, and thinner. The more you wax, the less hair grows back. It’s also great to get done a few days prior to any tattoo work.
