FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hair should be a minimum 1/4”-1/2,” which is about the length of a long grain of rice. We recommend growing out the hair for a minimum of 14 days prior to waxing, to ensure it will be long enough for the wax to properly adhere and remove. Is your hair longer? Not to worry; we can trim if need be, but most likely that won’t be necessary. How long will my wax last? You can expect to be hair-free for a minimum of 1-2 weeks following your wax appointment.

This can vary depending on the person, but most waxing services should be done every 3-4 weeks. Consistency is key for obtaining optimal results and the ongoing benefits, like finer, softer hair and a more painless experience.

We use two different types of wax, formulated specifically for Wild Honey Skin Co. Generally, our Estheticians will use the hard wax formula for the face and more sensitive areas of the body, like underarms and bikini. Since hard wax shrink wraps around the hair, there’s less pull from the skin, creating a more comfortable experience for most of our clients. We tend to use our soft wax for larger areas of the body, such as legs, arms, chest and back. That being said, our Estheticians will be sure to tailor the experience by selecting the wax that is most suitable for your hair type, skin type and comfort level. Sometimes that means using both formulas to get the best results.

We believe that finding the right balance between speed and thoroughness is paramount in providing the best overall experience for our clients. At Wild Honey Skin Co., we provide quality services, while also maintaining efficiency. You might say we’re the Goldilocks of the waxing world: not too rushed, not too slow, but just right.
Just the opposite! With each appointment, you’ll notice the hair growing back finer, softer and more sparse, since it is being removed from the follicle.
In order to provide the best experience possible, only the client and the Esthetician are allowed in the treatment room during an appointment.
There is not an age limit or age requirement for waxing. However, if you’re under the age of 18, you’ll need to bring a parent or guardian on your first visit, as we need their signed consent to perform the service(s).

Laser hair removal is the method of reducing hair by exposing it to laser light pulses that destroy the hair follicle. This is a more permanent solution than waxing, with results typically lasting for six to twelve months depending on the hair type, and even longer for some. Laser hair removal can greatly reduce the majority of hair growth and permanently eliminate it in some cases.

Most clients can have laser hair removal once every 4 to 6 weeks and can expect to see best results after a series of 7-10 treatments. After that, our Estheticians can recommend the best schedule necessary to maintain the results.
This will greatly depend on your individual needs and preferences. While there are a number of factors that may determine if you are a good candidate for laser hair removal (such as hair type, skin type, certain medical conditions and/or skin sensitivities) our Certified Laser Technicians will consult with you prior to your treatment, to answer any questions you have and determine which method would be most suitable for you.
While we do welcome walk-ins, we may not always be able to accommodate last-minute appointments, so we encourage booking ahead of time to ensure you’ll get the service you want at the time that you want it.

Yes! Each one of our licensed Estheticians undergoes extensive training to be able to analyze skin, perform complex treatments, and build effective routines that will help you achieve healthy, glowing results.
During the week leading up to your appointment, don’t use any heavy exfoliating acids, topical creams, or peels on the area to be treated, and avoid sun exposure, as our services cannot be performed on sun-burned skin. Be aware that any false lashes can be affected by facials (steam) and if you are a contact lens wearer, you may want to plan on taking them out (personal preference). Laser clients, you’ll want to make sure the area to be treated is freshly shaved prior to your session (no plucking or waxing, as we need the hair follicle in tact, but not grown out). You’ll also want to skip any heavy creams, lotions, deodorants and makeup, and avoid sun exposure.

Before you get to your appointment, you’ll have the option to fill out a New Client form ahead of time, to indicate your personal skin care needs, goals, and history of services. This step is important, and if not done prior to your appointment, we ask that you arrive 15 minutes early, to give yourself plenty of time to complete the intake process and focus on you.

Our facials are safe for women who are pregnant or nursing, as all of our Estheticians are trained on which ingredients and modalities to avoid according to our standards. However, since every body and every doctor’s recommendations are different, please speak to your primary physician for their specific guidelines.

We advise that you do not get laser hair removal while you’re pregnant. Laser hair removal is safe, but currently, there are no long-term studies that analyze the effects of laser hair treatment on unborn children. For this reason, it is best to play it safe.
Hormonal changes associated with pregnancy and breastfeeding do tend to increase hair growth, but waiting until after the birth of the baby to begin or continue treatments will not negatively affect the results.

One facial can get great results, but where you can really see (and feel) a huge difference is with regular, monthly treatments.
Children have delicate skin that’s in a constant state of growth and flux. To keep young skin safe, we don’t perform facials on anyone 14 years old or under, and recommend seeing a dermatologist for any serious skin issues. Anyone between the ages of 15 and 17 will need a parent or guardian to fill out and sign an intake form before the appointment, but they do not need to stay for the duration unless they choose.
