You'll get the best results if you let the hair grow to about ¼ inch so the wax can fully grab the hair.

Nope! Our Wax Specialists will take care of everything and walk you through our Our 4 Steps to Smooth™ process. We just kindly request that you arrive on time.

European Wax Center's policy is to require guests under 16 to have parental consent for bikini waxing services. Each location has their own young guest policy when it comes to providing bikini line waxing services on minors. You'll need to inquire with the center directly or check with your local center for state and county guidelines to see what their age limit is. (Oh, and just in case you were wondering…there’s no upper age limit, either. We welcome everyone!)

Sure, we can absolutely wax you if it's that time of the month. But do keep in mind that the area will be more prone to sensitivity and you may experience more discomfort than usual. In order to successfully complete the service, you will need to wear a tampon.

Bikini line is a basic tidy. We wax the sides (called your panty line) and across the top. If you’re wearing a bikini, this will prevent any hairs from "peeking out."

Bikini (full) is the next step and allows you to take off as much or as little hair as you like off the front. If you want to leave a small "landing strip", triangle or nothing at all, it’s up to you! 

Bikini Brazilian goes from the front all the way to the back with an added butt strip. This is perfect for a completely nude look or you can leave a neat triangle on the front. Choose your style!

Usually your wax will last between 3–4 weeks but everyone’s rate of regrowth is different, so results will vary between guests. But remember, with the right products, you can help extend your results longer. Just ask your Wax Specialist to point you in the right direction.

It depends on your tolerance for discomfort.  With waxing, you're removing hair from the root. The good news is that our licensed Wax Specialists will make sure you're as comfortable as possible. Need more proof? Top magazines and reviewers have said it’s virtually painless thanks to our exclusive Comfort Wax®.

Absolutely! All of our friendly Wax Specialists are licensed aestheticians. They're also required to successfully complete our in-house training program to ensure every Specialist can provide the same level of excellence.

First, congratulations! Secondly, yes, you can still wax. However, you may experience more skin sensitivity due to the hormonal changes your body's going through. 

Our Wax Specialists will make you as comfortable as possible during the service. If you're in the last two months of pregnancy, we recommend checking with your doctor first.

You can still wax if you received a basic facial that includes a cleanse, steam, exfoliation and mask. 

If you received a specialty facial that includes, but is not limited to, an alpha (AHA) or beta (BHA) hydroxy peel, microdermabrasion or any other deep exfoliation treatment, then you need to wait at least 7 days to receive a wax service. 

You should check with your doctor to ensure it's ok for you to wax after having any medical-grade facial treatment.

We recommend waiting at least 24–48 hours between waxing and tanning due to potentially increased skin sensitivity. Because waxing exfoliates the skin by removing the top layer of dead surface skin cells, you're more likely to experience sunburn. 

And, friendly reminder: If you are going to go in the sun within 48 hours of waxing, we recommend wearing a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more.

Sorry—we won't perform services on sunburned skin or skin that's irritated or unhealthy. When your skin has healed, we'd love to have you back!

It's always best to refer to your doctor if you have any questions.  

For prescribed creams like Retin-A or Differin, we advise that you stop use 7 days prior to your wax reservation and to not resume use until 7 days after your wax service. 

Note: We will not wax you if you're on Accutane. It's very dangerous to wax while on Accutane and a doctor's note will be needed to receive services. 

Remember: it's important that you inform or update our Guest Service Coordinators about the medications you're taking so we can provide you with a safe waxing experience.
