The level of discomfort from the service can vary depending on the volume of hair, individual pain tolerance, the experience of the esthetician with the service, and the quality of the wax. Typically it is a quick bit of discomfort that is quelled by the technician. Clients may take Advil or an Ibuprofen an hour before the service to reduce discomfort. This should not be mixed with alcohol. Most client love the results from the service and think the brief discomfort is worth it. We haven’t had a client yell “Kelly Clarkson” yet.

The results of a chest wax can last around 3-6 weeks on average, but this can vary depending on individual hair growth rate, quality of the waxing service, and aftercare routine. With repeated waxing, the results last longer because of less and less hair regrowth.

Back waxing typically takes 30-45 minutes.

It's recommended to grow the hair out to at least 1/4 inch, avoid shaving or trimming the area before the appointment, exfoliate the area gently 24-48 hours before the wax, avoid caffeine and alcohol before the wax, wear comfortable clothing, and take a shower before the appointment. It's also important to inform the esthetician of any allergies, medications, or medical conditions beforehand.

It is recommended to avoid excessive sweating and swimming, sunlight and hot water for at least 24 hours after your chest waxing appointment to allow the skin to recover.

The waxing professional will apply warm wax to the chest area and then quickly remove the wax with a strip, pulling out the hair from the roots. While you will feel some discomfort, it will be quick.

Avoid hot water/showers/saunas, pools, tight clothing, and sun exposure up to 48 hours. Applying a blemish control product can also help to reduce any redness or irritation. Exfoliating starting 24 hours after the waxing service helps minimize ingrown hairs.
