Frequently Asked Questions & Waxing Aftercare

Exfoliate and moisturize before your appointment. Better yet, exfoliate and moisturize every day. Dry skin and hair breaks much easier than skin that is moisture-rich, meaning the wax won’t be as effective or last as long when applied to dry skin. 

Yes. However, we try to minimize the pain as much as possible. A numbing cream can be applied to the area if it’s your first time, or if you’re feeling nervous. It won’t take away all the pain, but it will help ease it. 

At Euphoria Beauty, we strictly use hard wax as opposed to soft wax. What’s the difference? Hard wax is applied directly to the skin and removed without a cloth strip; the wax hardens on its own. Hard wax also only grips onto your hair, whereas soft wax grips onto your skin cells and hair when removed. This is why soft wax can often be much more painful. 

No! In fact, when waxed regularly, your hair will begin to grow in noticeably softer and thinner. Shaving only cuts the hair at the surface and does not remove the root, which is why your hair will feel blunt and “prickly” after a few days. Waxing removes the hair at the root, meaning it takes longer for the hair to form a new root and regrow. 

Getting on a regular waxing schedule (every 4-6 weeks) will ensure your hair doesn’t break under the skin, causing ingrown hairs. This will also help your skin build up a tolerance and become less and less sensitive to the procedure. Your hair should be 1/4 inch long, or about as long as a grain of rice, for waxing to be effective.
