Helpful answers

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an upper back wax and a lower back wax?

An upper back wax covers the neck base, tops of the shoulders, and shoulder blades down to the mid-back. A lower back wax covers the area from the mid-spine down to the waistband and top of the hips.

What is the difference between a half back wax and a full back wax?

A half back wax targets only one section of the back (upper OR lower), whereas a full back wax removes hair across the entire length of the back from neck to waistline.

Will there be a harsh line where the waxing stops?

No! Our experienced estheticians at Galeo Beauty use feathering techniques around the edges of the waxed zone to ensure a smooth, natural-looking transition.

How do I prevent pimples or bumps after getting my lower or upper back waxed?

Post-wax breakouts occur when sweat or bacteria enter open pores. Keep the area clear by avoiding heavy sweating, tight gym clothes, and hot baths for 24–48 hours, and apply a light soothing lotion.

How long will a half back wax last?

Your skin will stay smooth and hair-free for 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your natural hair growth speed.
