If you are still questioning your skincare, please consult your doctor or feel free to reach out and I can check to make sure your skincare doesn't interfere with waxing.

At least 2 weeks post shaving, or for a visual reference, the length of an eyelash. Yes, I know this can be tricky first time around, but it will be worth it! There is no such thing as hair being TOO long, the longer the better. 

Drink a lot of water leading up to the appointment, wear loose clothing, and try to relax during your appointment, it will make it easier for the both of us. 

Exfoliating day of or day after wax, it will make the area more sensitive. Wait 48 hours to start exfoliating (2-3x a week followed by a moisturizer)

Exercise for 12 hours after appt. to avoid clogging pores and irritation

Tanning 24 hours before and after your appointment. Pre-wax tanning is asking for your skin to be more sensitive, causing more discomfort during your wax. Post-wax tanning may cause sunburn.

Spray tanning before or after a wax

Hot showers, hot tubs and saunas directly after wax (cool to lukewarm water only)

Sexual activity for 24 hours after the appointment

Keep it loose! Avoid tight or constricting clothing for a few days

Everyone's pain tolerance is different. I’m not going to say this is a walk in the park, It's a quick sting for 4 weeks of being hair free! Hydration is key with waxing, so drink your water!

6-12 months is the general rule, please consult with your doctor first before booking an appointment.

Everyone's hair & skin type is different, but the general rule would be 2-3x times a week followed up with a good moisturizer. Exfoliating and moisturizing products can be purchased in the studio.

Exfoliating scrubs and moisturizers are all sold in studio. All products are designed for sensitive skin, so they are perfect for everybody. Pick one up at you next appointment!

I usually recommend getting all your waxing done 1-2 days before you leave for vacation. If this is your first wax I always recommend getting 2-3 waxes under your belt before a vacation/big event. This way you get the best and smoothest results possible. 

Yes of course! Just know you will be a little more sensitive. I have hygiene products to freshen up with right before your appointment. You must wear a cup or tampon for duration of appointment.

Yes, but please clear this with your doctor. Please know waxing while being pregnant will leave you more sensitive during and after your wax.

Yes. All Men's services are listed under services. Please know Slippery When Waxed does not offer the Manzillian (Brazilian for men). 

Due to recent experiences, I have to ask not to bring your kids in. Slippery When Waxed is not a kid friendly environment. 

Both soft and hard wax are offered. Every client's service is individually customized to create the best results and to make the waxing experience as easy for you as possible. So both waxes may be used during your appointment.

You cannot wax if you are using any of the following medications: Accutane, Adapalene, Isotretinoin, Retin-A, Retinol, Renova, Alustra, Avita, Tazarotene, Tretinoin, Avage, Differin or antibiotics. Pretty much any acne medications or drying agents to your face. These medications dry the skin out or cause the skin to be more sensitive which can result in skin lifting if waxed. Please make sure to check your ingredients or with a doctor before booking a wax!

No, your skin will be too sensitive. Remember, waxing is an exfoliation. This goes for spray tanning as well, before or after can affect spray tanning results.

Each antibiotic may stay in the body for different lengths of time, so I always recommend 7-14 days. But please consult with your doctor first!

Yes, I have many clients who have PCOS and choose waxing over shaving. 

If you have never been waxed before & have a big event coming up, I would recommend getting at least 2 waxes in before your event/vacation. This way, the first wax, which will be the more uncomfortable one is out of the way. After your 2nd wax, the results will be better, and you won't be as uncomfortable afterward. 

Everyone’s results vary because hair grows in different cycles. After your first wax, you may notice some hairs appearing—this doesn’t mean they were missed, but rather that they were beneath the skin at the time of your appointment and are now growing through. With consistent waxing, your hair growth will begin to sync into the same cycle, allowing you to go longer between appointments. After a few Brazilian waxes, you’ll also notice your hair growing back finer, thinner, and more slowly.

The looser the clothes the better! This is not a fashion show, come with loose clothing to avoid further irritation to areas being waxed.

You can book directly through the booking site (Vagaro), or feel free to give me a call at 585-201-8766.

Brazilians & bikinis are recommended every 4-6 weeks. Staying consistent is going to be key for flawless results.

I am appointment based only. However, you can always call day of and see if there is anything available.
