Frequently Asked Questions

Elimination of stubble: Unlike shaving, which often leads to stubble, waxing removes hair entirely from the root, resulting in smooth and stubble-free skin.
Slowed hair regrowth: Following waxing, hair regrowth occurs at a significantly slower rate, typically taking 4-6 weeks. Additionally, many individuals report that their regrown hair is finer in texture

Everyone's experience varies. Initially, expect hair growth and sporadic hairs in the 1-2 weeks post-waxing. After 3-6 months, enjoy around two weeks of smooth skin followed by hair regrowth, typically ready for waxing again at 4 weeks. Factors like waxing duration, follicle count, aftercare, shaving habits, hair texture, and growth rate influence these timelines.
