Waxing

FAQs

How long does a Brazilian / Hollywood Waxing take?

At Classic Beauty London, appointment slots for Brazilian / Hollywood Waxing are each 45 minutes, but this includes consultation and time for the client to get ready before and after the treatment.

How often should I get it done?

This varies from client to client. After the first few waxes, it is generally a 4-week wax routine that people will adopt. However, some clients can push to 6-8 weeks between waxes.

Will my hair grow back thicker and darker?

No, quite the opposite. Hair will become thinner and finer. The more you wax the less will grow.

Can I shave between my waxing appointment?

I would never recommend this to a client. You will never benefit from the wax if you don’t do it on a regular and consistent basis.

Will I be uncomfortable after my waxing?

If this is your first ever waxing, you are likely to feel some mild discomfort post-treatment, especially if your hair has been very coarse from shaving or using hair removal products. All skin types react in different ways, but sensitivity should lessen once you become used to waxing. We will always recommend not to wear any tight clothing post waxing on any areas in case of friction or sensitivity. We also recommend skipping the gym session or anything that may cause lots of friction on the skin.

Aftercare is the most important thing for post-waxing sensitivity, so when we say no sunbeds or gym etc please listen to us, as this really can have an effect on your skin after the treatment.

How long should I wait after shaving to get my Brazilian / Bikini Wax for the first time?

If you are a newbie to waxing then we recommend a minimum of 3 weeks of hair growth from your last hair removal, whether that is shaving or hair removal creams. If you don’t leave the hair long enough, then it can be at an early stage of the growth cycle and there may not be enough to grip with the wax. We always recommend if you have a big event coming up like a wedding, hen weekend or holiday have a minimum of 2 waxes before waxing as your results will ultimately be better after the 2nd wax, this way you know your skin’s reaction to waxing and how to avoid any redness etc for the big event.

How long will the results stay?

Hair grows in different cycles, so it is impossible to say how long your wax results will last, especially after the first treatment. If you have been a shaver or a hair removal cream user, the results will likely only get better with time as the hair is never completely grown out after one growth cycle and often after a first wax some of the shaved hair will make an appearance within the first week, which is completely normal. It will take time to get that silky smooth result that we all want, but stick with it, and it will pay off massively!

Can I get a Brazilian wax If I am still on my period?

Not a problem, but you will be more sensitive, and you must wear a clean tampon. Also, you can take ibuprofen 20 minutes before. It may help.
