Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Sides.

Most clients enjoy smooth sides for three to six weeks depending on hair growth, hormones, and care. Regular appointments prolong results; scheduling every four to six weeks maintains a clean, consistent look and prevents coarse regrowth.

Some discomfort is normal but short-lived; we use gentle warm wax, careful technique, and calming products to reduce pain. For sensitive skin we perform a patch test, recommend numbing options, and tailor pressure to minimize irritation.

Clean, exfoliate gently a day or two before to remove dead skin and prevent ingrown hairs. Avoid retinoids, heavy lotions, sunburn, and blood-thinning medications before your appointment. Let hair be about quarter-inch long for best waxing results.

Apply a cool compress and a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer for 24-48 hours. Avoid heat, heavy sweating, exfoliation, and direct sun exposure for two days. Use antiseptic lotion if needed and schedule follow-up waxing as advised.

Yes. Avoid waxing if you have sunburn, active skin infections, open wounds, or recent chemical peels. Tell us about medications, retinoid use, pregnancy, or bleeding disorders so we can safely adapt or postpone treatment.

Absolutely. Pair Sides waxing with eyebrow shaping, threading, tinting, or facial waxing for a cohesive, polished look. Combining services saves time and helps your technician create balanced results tailored to facial contours.
