How to prep for your wax

  • Hair Length

    Aim for about a grain of rice. Too short and the wax cannot grab well. Too long and it can feel more intense than it needs to.

  • Exfoliation

    Gently exfoliate 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. Nothing harsh. We are helping the skin along, not picking a fight with it.

  • Cleanse

    Come with clean skin and skip lotion or oils right before your appointment.

  • Moisturize

    Keep the area moisturized in the days leading up to your appointment to prevent dryness. However, avoid applying lotion or oils on the day of your wax, as this can interfere with the wax's grip.

  • Communicate

    If you have a skin concern, medication, or anything you want me to know ahead of time, reach out before your appointment.

  • What about my period?

    Yes! Just wear a tampon, cup, or disc. Many clients do, and I’ll make sure you feel comfortable.

  • How long will results last?

    Everyone’s hair grows differently, but most clients enjoy 3–5 weeks of smooth skin before needing a touch-up.

  • Is your studio inclusive?

    Absolutely. Kelowna Waxing is a private, judgment-free space that welcomes all bodies, all genders, and every client story. I practice trauma-aware care, so your comfort always comes first.
