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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
