Why wax?
Waxing is the ultimate way to pamper yourself with silky-soft, supple skin. It is the only hair removal method that leaves you hair-free for weeks, from 3 to even 6 weeks! No more daily shaving, but instead enjoy smooth skin for a wonderfully long time.
Is waxing the same as sugaring?
No, waxing and sugaring are not the same. Sugaring often involves the use of rollers and strips – convenient for the beautician, but less pleasant for you. Waxing, on the other hand, is a precise technique using soft, comfortable wax that is considered the international standard. Your skin is treated with care, for better results and less discomfort.
What types of wax are there?
We use two types of wax:
Hard wax: Perfect for sensitive areas such as your face, underarms, and bikini line. This wax adheres only to the hairs, not to your skin, and is removed without strips.
Strip wax: Ideal for larger areas such as legs and arms. A thin layer of wax is applied and removed with cotton strips.
Does it hurt, first time waxing?
We understand that waxing might sound a little daunting. Perhaps you’ve heard some horror stories? Don’t worry, with over 10 years of experience, you are in good hands at Miss. Elegance. You will be guided step by step, so you will quickly discover that waxing isn’t scary at all. It even feels like a small victory over yourself – one to be proud of!
How long should my hair be?
The perfect length is 5 to 15 millimeters. Too short? Then the wax won't be able to grip the hairs properly. Too long? Then the treatment won't feel as pleasant. So make sure your hairs are the ideal length for the best results. As a rule of thumb: don't shave for 14 days.
Can I wax if I have my period? Can I wax when I am on my period?
At other salons, waxing treatments during menstruation are permitted, provided the client uses a tampon. At Miss. Elegance™, this is not possible.
And there are several reasons why this is not possible at Miss. Elegance™:
Increased sensitivity: During menstruation, the skin is often more sensitive, which can make the treatment more painful and increase the risk of skin irritation.
Hygiene Considerations: Despite the use of tampons, hygiene challenges can arise. Menstruation can make it more difficult to maintain a sterile environment, which is essential to prevent infections.
Because hygiene is too important at Miss. Elegance, it is simply better to wait a few days (until after your period).
Reduced comfort for you: Menstruation can be accompanied by discomforts such as cramps and fatigue. A waxing treatment can worsen this, leading to a less pleasant experience for you.
Risk of complications: During menstruation, the body is more sensitive to pain and blood vessels may be more dilated, which can increase the risk of bruising or other complications during waxing.
At Miss. Elegance™, you can reschedule your appointment free of charge if you unexpectedly happen to be on your period.
But there is an exception to every rule. Have you scheduled your waxing appointment for your vacation, for example? Then, of course, I will make an exception for you!
Can I wax if I am allergic to rosin?
Unfortunately not. Rosin is an ingredient in our wax and is also found in products such as bandages, chewing gum, and ink. If you are allergic, we advise against waxing with us.
Does Miss. Elegance™ offer sugaring?
No, we believe in the power of waxing! Sugaring takes longer, is more painful, and does not fit the mission of Miss. Elegance™: fast, professional, and hygienic hair removal.
Can I shave between waxing treatments?
You can shave, but we advise against it. Shaving causes stubble, itching, and bumps, and makes your next waxing session less comfortable. Choose waxing, and your hairs will remain soft and thin.
Can I get waxed if I am pregnant?
Absolutely! Many pregnant women even find waxing a godsend, especially in the final months. It is hygienic and comfortable, particularly as delivery approaches. Most women also experience no discomfort after waxing during pregnancy. But (!) there are, of course, always exceptions. Read more about that below:
Please do take into account that: During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant hormonal changes that can make the skin more sensitive. As a result, some women may experience skin reactions after a waxing treatment, such as redness, swelling, or the appearance of pimples.
This increased sensitivity is due to:
Hormonal fluctuations: During pregnancy, hormone levels change, which affects sebum production and the overall condition of the skin. This can lead to troubled skin or pregnancy acne.
Increased blood flow: The increase in blood circulation can make the skin more sensitive to external treatments, such as waxing.
For these reasons, it is important to inform yourself about possible skin reactions after waxing. It is also advisable to take good care of the skin after the treatment and to treat any irritation.
Help! I can't find a babysitter and I have a waxing appointment at Miss. Elegance™
No stress, things will just go as they go. Children are welcome and can wait for mom for a moment. Just let me know so I can take it into account.
Can I wax with a piercing?
Of course! But for the intimate part, it is more convenient to take it out for a moment.
Can I bring someone with me to the treatment?
Some teenagers like to bring their mother along.
And girlfriends get together regularly. It's actually really fun!
What is the minimum age for waxing?
You can start as early as age 12. (But with your parents' permission!) The sooner you start, the better!
If you are nervous about the first appointment, you can always bring your mother or a friend along.
