How long the hair needs to be

About a quarter of an inch — roughly two weeks of growth. Shorter than that and the wax has nothing to grip, which means patchy results and a second pass over the same skin. Longer than half an inch and it hurts more than it needs to.

Before your appointment

• Exfoliate gently a day or two before — not the same day.
• Skip lotion and oil on the day; wax needs to grip skin, not slide off it.
• Avoid retinoids on the area for five days — skin can lift.
• If you're sensitive to pain, avoid caffeine beforehand and consider timing around your cycle.

After: how to avoid ingrown hairs

1. First 24 hours: no gym, no sauna, no hot showers, no sun. Follicles are open.
2. From day 3: exfoliate gently two to three times a week. This is what prevents ingrowns.
3. Keep the area moisturised — dry skin traps hair under the surface.
4. Loose clothing for the first day, especially after bikini waxing.

How often

Every four to six weeks. Staying on schedule is what makes waxing progressively easier: hair grows back finer, sparser and less painful to remove each time.

Laser hair removal (diode) is coming soon. Brazilian wax is currently unavailable. For everything else, see the full menu or combine waxing with a European Facial in the same visit.

Frequently asked questions

How much does waxing cost in NYC?

At our Midtown studio, waxing starts at $30 for eyebrows or under arm, $50 for bikini, $60 for full arm or lower leg, and $90 for full legs. All prices are listed on the menu.

How long does hair need to be for waxing?

About a quarter of an inch, which is roughly two weeks of growth. Shorter and the wax cannot grip properly, which means patchy results and repeated passes over the same skin.

How do I prevent ingrown hairs after waxing?

Avoid heat, gyms and hot showers for the first 24 hours, then exfoliate gently two to three times a week starting on day three, and keep the area moisturised. Dry skin is the main cause of hair becoming trapped.

How often should I get waxed?

Every four to six weeks. Staying on schedule matters — hair regrows finer and sparser over time, and each session becomes less painful.

Do you offer Brazilian waxing?

Brazilian wax is currently unavailable. Bikini waxing is available at $50 for 20 minutes.
