Quick answers to common questions about Posh Nails Salon

Sensation varies by individual pain tolerance and body area. Most clients describe quick discomfort rather than severe pain. Facial and intimate areas are more sensitive than arms or legs. Hard wax is significantly less uncomfortable than strip wax. First sessions are typically the most uncomfortable, but regular waxing becomes increasingly tolerable as hair grows back finer.

 

Pain Management Tips:

  • Take ibuprofen 30 minutes before
  • Avoid caffeine beforehand
  • Schedule mid-cycle (not right before period)
  • Come regularly (gets easier!)
  • Breathe deeply during service
  • Communicate with your esthetician

Hair should be at least **1/4 inch long** (about the length of a grain of rice). This typically requires 2-3 weeks of growth after shaving. If hair is too short, wax cannot grip it effectively. If too long, we can trim to optimal length.

Most clients enjoy smooth skin for **3-4 weeks**, though this varies:

  • Facial areas: 2-3 weeks
  • Body areas: 3-4 weeks  
  • Bikini/Brazilian: 3-5 weeks
  • Results depend on individual hair growth cycles, genetics, and hormones

 

Regular waxing extends timeframes as hair growth slows and becomes finer.

Yes, though we require you to **wear a fresh tampon or menstrual cup** for intimate area waxing. Some women experience increased sensitivity during menstruation, so consider scheduling around your cycle if you prefer.

Ingrown hairs occur when hair grows back into the skin.


Prevention:

  • Exfoliate regularly (starting 48 hours post-wax)
  • Moisturize daily
  • Use products with salicylic or glycolic acid
  • Wear loose clothing
  • Don’t shave between waxes


Treatment:

If ingrowns develop, use products containing salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Never pick or squeeze them. If persistent, consult us for product recommendations or see a dermatologist.

Professional waxing is safe for all skin types and tones when performed correctly. However, certain conditions require extra caution or avoidance:

  • Accutane use (wait 6 months after discontinuing)
  • Recent chemical peels (wait 2 weeks)
  • Sunburn (wait until healed)
  • Active skin infections


Always disclose skin conditions and medications during consultation.
