01

Reasons You'll Love Facial Waxing

Because smooth is better

When the hair is removed at the root instead of cut from the surface, it grows back in smoothly, meaning you'll be stubble-free. Smoother skin also makes for a more flawless makeup application.

Because it won't break the bank

It's affordable! Since the face is such a small surface area, less wax is needed, so it's less expensive than waxing larger parts of the body.

Because you’ll grow less hair

Think of it as training your hair. The more you wax, the less it grows over time. How great is that?

Long lasting results

You'll get about 2-3 weeks' worth of results from a facial wax—a lot longer than other removal methods.

Because smooth is better

Facial waxing services remove the facial hair right from the root, as opposed to cutting it off at the surface. This causes the hair to grow back in smoothly and will leave you stubble free after your waxing service.

Because it won't break the bank

No need to stress! You don’t have to make a big investment to have a super smooth face. It’s very affordable to wax small facial areas. Brows, chins, sideburns - you name it!

Because you’ll grow less hair

One of the greatest benefits of waxing facial hair is that the more you wax, the less hair you will grow over time. What could be better?

Long lasting results

The results of facial waxing services can last 2-3 weeks which is much longer than other facial hair removal solutions. Just wax it and forget about it. Perfection!

Types

Chin

Generally, chin hair is thicker and has stronger roots, which makes waxing a smart choice. While there are other methods for removing chin hair, waxing is especially beneficial here.

Ear

As you might imagine, ears can be difficult to wax on your own! If you find yourself in need of ear hair removal, professional facial waxing is (in our humble opinion) one of your very best options.

purple lip waxing icon

Lip

The more you wax, the less painful it becomes. That hard-to-reach hair around the mouth is no match for our Wax Specialists.

Sideburns & Hairline

Both women and men have sideburns, but having dark or thick sideburns might make you feel self-conscious. Ditto for having an uneven hairline. Waxing your sideburns and hairline will gives you that perfect, clean line.

Cheek

Because cheek hair is fine and light, it can be difficult to remove. Facial waxing can help get every last pesky bit of facial fuzz. In fact, the more often you wax these areas, the finer that hair will come in time after time.

Neck

These unwanted stragglers on the front, sides, and back of your neck are easily taken care of with facial waxing.

purple nose waxing icon

Nose

Ah, nose hairs. They serve a purpose but are a no-go when they get long and unruly. Our Wax Specialist will focus on waxing the outer edge of your nostrils (similarly to how you'd use hair trimmers). Because the nose is so sensitive, it’s important to let a Specialist wax this area .

Eyebrows

It's all about the eyebrows! Our Wax Specialists are pros at helping to shape the perfect brow for both men and women. Check out our full page on all things eyebrow waxing  to learn more.

What to Expect

A reservation with one of our Wax Specialists will help you determine exactly where you should remove any pesky little hairs from your face. 

If it’s your first facial waxing, it's important to know what to expect prior to your reservation. 

Hair is totally normal

Don’t be embarrassed. Everyone has unwanted hair or peach fuzz on their face, but if you don't like it, we can help! Our goal is for you to walk out feeling confident in your own skin.

A slight ouch

Although a little discomfort is completely normal during your first time facial waxing, it'll hurt less and less each time you visit.

A little redness

Just like any area that you wax, the surrounding skin may be a little red after your service. If you've got a big event, plan your wax about three days before (just to be safe!)

Some sensitivity

Because the skin on your face can be more delicate than other areas, you may notice some slight sensitivity after your service. If you feel extremely sensitive after a face wax, consult one of our Wax Specialists.

It is totally normal

Don’t be embarrassed. It is totally normal to have unwanted hair or peach fuzz on your face...we all do. It’s all about strutting out and feeling confident in your own skin.

A slight ouch

Although a little discomfort is completely normal during your first time facial waxing, it will hurt less and less each time you visit.

A little redness

Just as with other areas that you wax, the skin around the waxed area may be a little red after your waxing appointment. To play it safe, get a wax about three days before any events.

Some sensitivity

Because the skin on your face is generally more sensitive than other areas, you may experience slight sensitivity after your reservation. If you feel extremely sensitive after a face wax, consult a specialist.

Facial Hair Waxing 

vs. The Rest

When it comes to removing unwanted hair, you've got a lot of options. 

See how waxing compares to other hair removal techniques so that you can make an informed decision that works the best for you!

Waxing vs. ....

Threading


Threading uses a cotton thread to remove short rows of hair from your face. Since each hair is removed individually, it can be a more painful and uncomfortable experience than face waxing. It can also be difficult on sensitive skin, particularly if you are an acne sufferer. 


Our trained Wax Specialists use our exclusive Comfort Wax® which can be used on even the most sensitive skin types.


Tweezing


Like threading, tweezing is a slower and more painful experience than waxing. Results don't last as long and it's easy to miss or break smaller hairs—pinching yourself in the process. And some women opt to use an epilator to tweeze hair from the roots more quickly, but this method is well-known for being painful. 


For touch-ups, manual tweezers are the best way to take care of any stray hairs and can be used in between facial waxing services to keep your face silky and smooth.




Depilatory Creams


Depilatory creams use chemicals to weaken the hair follicles, allowing you to wipe the hair away from your skin. These creams can be used at home but the harsh chemicals can irritate sensitive skin and many of them smell awful! Facial skin is especially delicate, so depilatories may not be a good option. 


With our Exclusive Comfort Wax® and trained Wax Specialists, we can wax even the most sensitive skin types.


Shaving


Recently, face shaving for women has picked up some traction in the beauty world as a cheap option for hair removal. 


But facial razors won't provide long-lasting results, as smoothness only lasts 1-3 days as opposed to 2-3 weeks with facial waxing. It can also cause you to have embarrassing and prickly stubble in between shaves.


Laser Hair Removal


Laser hair removal is long lasting, but can be very expensive and requires a number of treatment sessions. There are less expensive at-home options, but those can be potentially dangerous and even cause damage. 


Also, laser hair removal isn't recommended for people with darker skin or lighter hair.


Bleaching


Bleaching your unwanted facial hair doesn't remove the hairs—it just makes them lighter so they aren’t as noticeable. This option may work if you don’t have much hair and don’t mind if it's still visible up close. 


However, bleaching products can irritate sensitive skin. With our Exclusive Comfort Wax® and trained Wax Specialists, our wax can be used on even the most sensitive skin types.


Natural Recipes


There are a number of home remedies that claim to get rid of facial hair naturally, but many of these methods are simply old wives’ tales and maynot be as effective at removing hair. 


Natural recipes may also have negative or harmful effects due to a lack of product testing.

Facial Wax Aftercare

You'll love how smooth and flawless your new, fuzz-free face will feel when you leave one of our centers. 

We want you to continue to love the results for every day in between reservations, so here are some tips on how to maintain your wax results.

To Keep in Mind:

  • Avoid harsh sunlight, sunbathing and tanning beds

  • If you must go in the sun, wear sunscreen

  • Avoid topical face treatments

  • Avoid swimming in chlorinated water

  • Avoid profuse sweating

  • Avoid touching the area


How long will your face or brow wax last?


Typically, your wax will last 2-3 weeks before you begin to see any regrowth, but as you wax your face more regularly, the density and amount of hair will decrease. 

Additional Exfoliation Benefits

Exfoliating primes the skin for waxing by making it easier for hairs to slide out from their roots, which can create longer lasting results.

Exfoliating helps the skin on your face better absorb your moisturizer and serums, which means they'll work more effectively.

Regular exfoliation reduces your chance of ingrown hairs—great for anyone prone to ingrown hairs on their chin and neck.

facial waxing services for men:

purple ear waxing icon

Ear

Do you get thick, dark hair on your ears? Waxing for hair removal is the best way to remove these hairs and leave your ears totally smooth. It’s best to leave this to the professionals though, as ears can be sensitive and difficult to wax on your own.

purple nose waxing icon

Nose

We all have nose hairs, and while they do serve a purpose, having excessive hair there is not a good look. By waxing just the outer tip of the nose, similarly to how you may have used hair trimmers in the past, you can easily and painlessly remove any stragglers. It’s important to see a waxing specialist particularly for this sensitive area to ensure that you do not remove too much hair. Ask your Wax Specialist about protecting facial hair you would like to keep intact, including your mustache.
