Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions

Under arm waxing services from Flawless Skin Wax Studio - Tampa, FL

1. How long should my hair be to get a wax?

You’ll get the best results if you let the hair grow for two weeks of hair growth or longer. The longer the better. If it’s too long, don’t trim it, we will trim it for you. Two weeks of hair growth is about ¼ inch so the wax can fully grab the hair.

2. What’s the difference between a bikini line, bikini full and bikini Brazilian wax?

Bikini line is a basic tidy. We wax the sides (called your panty line) and across the top. If you’re wearing a bikini, this will prevent any hairs from “peeking out.”

Bikini (full) is the next step and allows you to take off as much or as little hair as you like off the front. If you want to leave a small “landing strip”, triangle or nothing at all, it’s up to you! 

Brazilian goes from the front all the way to the back with an added butt strip. This is perfect for a completely nude look or you can leave a neat triangle on the front. Choose your style!

3. Is it safe to wax while being pregnant?

Yes. Please note your skin is extremely sensitive due to hormonal changes. We recommend checking in with your doctor during the last two months of pregnancy.

4. Can I get waxed on my period?

Yes. Please note your skin is more sensitive during this time so you may experience some discomfort. You do need to wear a tampon or a cup.

5. Can I still wax if I've just had a facial?

You can still wax if you received a basic facial that includes a cleanse, steam, exfoliation and mask. 

If you received a specialty facial that includes, but is not limited to, an alpha (AHA) or beta (BHA) hydroxy peel, microdermabrasion or any other deep exfoliation treatment, then you need to wait at least 7 days to receive a wax service. 

You should check with your doctor to ensure it’s ok for you to wax after having any medical-grade facial treatment.

6. Can I get waxed if I'm sunburned?

Sorry—we won’t perform services on sunburned skin or skin that’s irritated or unhealthy. When your skin has healed, we’d love to have you back!

7. How long will my wax last?

Usually your wax will last between 3–4 weeks but everyone’s rate of regrowth is different, so results will vary between guests. But remember, with the right products, you can help extend your results longer. Just ask your Wax Specialist to point you in the right direction.

8. Is their an age limit for waxing?

We do not perform bikini services for guests under 16 years of age. We require guests under 18 to have parental consent for bikini services.

9. Can I get waxed if I am taking medication?

It’s always best to refer to your doctor if you have any questions.  

For prescribed creams like Retin-A or Differin, we advise that you stop use 7 days prior to your wax reservation and to not resume use until 7 days after your wax service. 

Note: We will not wax you if you’re on Accutane. It’s very dangerous to wax while on Accutane and a doctor’s note will be needed to receive services. 

Remember: it’s important that you inform or update our Guest Service Coordinators about the medications you’re taking so we can provide you with a safe waxing experience.

10. Can I wax if I tanned the day before?

We recommend waiting at least 24–48 hours between waxing and tanning due to potentially increased skin sensitivity. Because waxing exfoliates the skin by removing the top layer of dead surface skin cells, you’re more likely to experience sunburn. 

And, friendly reminder: If you are going to go in the sun within 48 hours of waxing, we recommend wearing a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more.

11. How do I prepare for a wax?

First your hair needs to be 2 weeks of hair growth or longer. Then you need to Exfoliate before your service. Scrubs vigorously to remove dead skin cells and lift up any trapped hairs.

12. It's my first time waxing. Does waxing hurt hurt?

Our signature comfort hard wax is specifically designed to be light on sensitive skin. This exclusive formula is heated at low temperatures to minimize irritation and provides a less painful experience. Our licensed Wax Specialists will make sure you’re as comfortable as possible. Need more proof? Top magazines and reviewers have said it’s virtually painless thanks to our exclusive Comfort Organic Hard Wax.

13. How do I get rid of ingrown hairs?

Ingrown hairs are hairs that are trapped under the skin. You need to exfoliate Manually and Chemically to get rid of them. Our licensed skin care therapists will advise you on when and how to best do this for optimal results.

14. Will I be in the hands of an expert?

Absolutely! All of our friendly Wax Specialists are licensed estheticians. They’re also required to successfully complete our in-house training program to ensure every Specialist can provide the same level of excellence.

15. Can I walk-in or do I need a reservation?

We love walk-ins! However, if you make a reservation, we can guarantee that you’ll be treated on time. Otherwise, depending on the number of reservations we have any given day, there may be no available times for walk-ins.
