What Is Spa Waxing, and Should You Get It?
To understand what spa waxing is and how it works, we have to start with a little bit of biology. Hair grows from follicles in your skin called “roots.” When you shave or tweeze your hair, the roots are left behind and grow back in roughly eight weeks (or less if you’re shaving more often). But when you wax, those roots are removed entirely from your skin and don’t grow back for three to six weeks. That means fewer hairs at any given time—and less maintenance overall!
Spa waxing works by applying warm wax to your skin. When the wax cools and hardens, it pulls out the hair from its root when you pull off wax strips. The process can be painful at first, but after a few sessions, most people only feel slight discomfort during their appointments. For the best results, it’s important to wax your hair in the direction it grows. This way, you’ll be able to pull out more hairs with each strip of wax. Also, do not pluck or tweeze between appointments because that can cause ingrown hairs and red bumps later on.
The results last for weeks, sometimes even months. Some people prefer to have their hair waxed every two to three weeks, but others can go longer between sessions. Waxing is an excellent way to remove unwanted hair, but it’s important to find a salon that uses high-quality wax.
