Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Full Arms.

Most clients enjoy smooth arms for three to six weeks depending on hair growth cycles, hormones, and aftercare. Regular waxing can extend intervals by weakening follicles, resulting in finer, sparser regrowth over time.

For best results, hair should be about 1/4 inch (roughly a grain of rice). Too short won't adhere to the wax; too long can cause more discomfort. We can trim if needed before starting the service.

Some sensitivity is normal, especially on first appointments, but pain is brief. We use gentle warming wax, quick technique, and calming aftercare (cooling gel, moisturizers). Breathing and relaxation reduce discomfort significantly.

Clients with mild sensitivity often tolerate waxing with precautions, but active eczema, open wounds, or inflamed skin should be avoided. Schedule a consultation so we can assess your skin and recommend a patch test or alternative hair removal if necessary.

Exfoliate gently 48 hours prior, avoid retinoids or strong acids for a week, moisturize up to the day before, and arrive with clean skin. Avoid sunburns and heavy lotions on the day to ensure wax adheres properly.

Avoid hot baths, heavy exercise, and sun exposure for 24-48 hours. Use gentle cleansers and fragrance-free moisturizers, exfoliate lightly after 48 hours to prevent ingrown hairs, and consider a soothing aloe or chamomile product for redness.
