Habit Spa

Waxing and Hair Removal

Hair removal performed by a licensed esthetician, with the prep explained before you arrive rather than after.

Hair needs enough length for wax to grip, so an appointment booked too soon after shaving does not work well. Ask the spa what length they want when you book. Do not exfoliate aggressively or use acids or retinoids in the days beforehand, and mention any prescription skin medication at intake — several of them make waxing unsafe, and the esthetician needs to know before starting rather than after.

Say if you are new to it. A licensed esthetician will explain the sequence, work in sections, and check in as they go, and you can ask them to stop at any point. Afterward, skin is usually red for a while; avoid heat, sun and heavy friction for the rest of the day. If you have a skin condition in the area, ask your physician or dermatologist before booking. Laser hair removal is a different, provider-supervised category and belongs with habitmedspa.com.
