What to expect
Cleansing & Oil Removal
We cleanse and sanitize the underarms to remove natural oils, sweat, and lingering deodorant for maximum wax adhesion.
Multi-Directional Waxing
Because underarm hair grows in multiple directions, we apply gentle wax in targeted sections to capture every single hair cleanly.
Calming & Hydrating Aftercare
We finish with a soothing, anti-inflammatory balm (like aloe vera or tea tree) to instantly calm the skin and protect empty pores.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Does an underarm wax hurt?
The underarm area can be sensitive because the skin is thin, but the sting lasts only 2–3 seconds per strip. Because the service is so fast (usually under 15 minutes), most clients find it very manageable and well worth the long-lasting results.
Can I wear deodorant to my underarm wax appointment?
It's best to avoid heavy deodorants right before your session, but don't worry if you're wearing some! We always thoroughly cleanse and prepare your armpits to remove all products before applying the wax.
Will underarm waxing stop dark underarm shadow?
Yes! The dark shadow usually seen after shaving is actually the hair shaft visible just beneath the skin surface. Waxing pulls the entire hair out from the root, eliminating the shadow immediately.
How long should underarm hair be before getting waxed?
Your underarm hair should be at least 0.5 cm long (roughly the length of a grain of rice). If you've been shaving, stop shaving for about 10 to 14 days before your appointment.
How long does an underarm wax last?
Results typically last 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your hair growth rate. With consistent regular waxing, regrowth becomes significantly finer, lighter, and easier to remove.
