Understanding the Types of Facial Waxing

  • 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, a chin wax 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.

  • Lip


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

  • 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.

    Benefits

  • Smooth Skin

  • Cost-Effective

  • Less Regrowth

  • Long-Lasting Results

Facial waxing gets rid of unwanted hair and removes dry, dead skin cells. A full face wax is skincare and hair removal all in one. Plus, smoother skin means a flawless makeup application. What’s not to love?

Waxing facial hair is a convenient and affordable way to maintain healthy, soft skin, remove hair, and enjoy long-lasting results.

The more you wax, the less your hair grows over time. How great is that? By your third session, you’ll see a noticeable difference in facial hair regrowth. The hair that does grow back will be fine and sparse.

Face waxing removes hair from the root and weakens the hair follicle over time. That means soft and supple skin for two to three weeks and thinner regrowth after each session.

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.

FAQs

What is the difference between facial waxing and threading?

Facial waxing uses our exclusive Comfort Wax® to gently remove hair from the root, leaving your skin smooth and hair-free for weeks. Threading, on the other hand, uses a twisted thread to remove hair, which can sometimes cause more irritation for sensitive skin. Waxing typically covers larger areas more efficiently, while threading is often used for precise detailing.

Is facial waxing safe for acne-prone skin?

Yes, our facial waxing services are safe for acne-prone skin when done by our trained Wax Specialists. However, if you have active breakouts or are using certain acne treatments (like retinoids), let your Wax Specialist know so they can tailor the service to your needs.

What areas of the face can be waxed?

We offer facial waxing services for many areas, including the upper lip, chin, cheeks, sideburns, hairline, and jawline. If you're looking for more targeted shaping, explore our eyebrow waxing services for perfectly defined brows. You can choose one area or combine multiple areas for a completely smooth look.

Does facial waxing hurt?

While you may feel slight discomfort, especially if it’s your first time, our Wax Specialists are trained in techniques to help minimize pain. Additionally, our Comfort Wax® is designed to cling to hair instead of skin for a more comfortable experience. The process is quick, and most guests find the results well worth it.

How should I prepare for a facial waxing reservation?

If you use retinol, discontinue use for 7 days to prepare for your wax. Avoid exfoliating products or other active ingredients right before your wax to help prevent sensitivity. Make sure your skin is clean and free of makeup and heavy oils.

How long do the results of facial waxing last?

Facial waxing typically lasts 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your hair type and growth cycle. Regular waxing can also help reduce the appearance of hair over time.

Will facial waxing cause my hair to grow back thicker or darker?

No, in fact the opposite is true! Over time, waxing can lead to finer and less noticeable regrowth.

Is facial waxing suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Our exclusive Comfort Wax® is made with beeswax and designed to be gentle on sensitive skin. Since you only need to wax every 3 to 4 weeks, it can be less irritating than regular shaving. Let your Wax Specialist know if you have any specific concerns.

Can I wear makeup after facial waxing?

It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after waxing to allow your skin time to recover. This reduces the risk of irritation or clogged pores.

What are the benefits of facial waxing over shaving?

Unlike shaving, waxing removes hair from the root, which means longer-lasting results. Waxing also helps improve skin texture through exfoliation, leaving it soft and glowing. This leaves you with the perfect canvas for smooth and even makeup application.
