How long does my hair need to be for a wax?

  The truth is that no one is going to whip out the ruler to measure their hair. We don't even bother with the 'quarter inch' rule. What we do is give you a simple time frame, 3 weeks after a shave or 4 weeks after a wax. BOX does this because we want everyone to walk out with the best wax ever and maybe even save you some bucks.

   Your hair doesn't all come up at once, there are about four separate phases of hair growth that we need to ensure have surfaced above the skin before we wax. When people say a 'quarter inch' they are referring to the shortest hair in the area being waxed and clients can mistakenly base the length off of the longest hair, yielding shoddy results. It is advised to mark your calenders so you get on a healthy routine and avoid guessing when booking for your next appointment.

Timing your appointments off of this 3-4 week frame makes for a longer lasting wax with minimal sting and maximum smoothness. Yippee!

 So what really happens if you cant wait that long? 

   Depending on the hair length and type most of the surfaced hair can be removed. The Esthetician may need to go over the same area multiple times making it sensitive. Some hairs will more than likely be too short for the wax to get a good grab on and you will have some shorties left.  Tweezing these stray hairs one by one is a long process that can be uncomfortable in delicate areas.  

   Beauty sleep after a premature wax can reveal a layer of unsurfaced hair. Even if you leave a salon smooth, you may wake up and find yourself tweezing strays at home or coming in more frequently for waxes. This upsets the pocketbook and its not the best thing for your skin. Waxing too frequently can lead you to ingrown hairs and skin irritation.

I'm on my cycle, can I still get a wax?

   The phone rings.... its you. I say hello and you tell me that you HAVE to cancel because you started your period. I assure you- it's not the first time that I've heard that one. 


   It is true that you can still be waxed on your period as long as you have the right... equipment in place. Don't feel obligated to call in and report your status. It doesn't change the job at hand in the slightest. If you are totally mortified by the thought of your Esthetician seeing your tampon string, we get it. Just know that it doesn't phase her. She is a temple of unsqueemishness and professionalism. She is just concerned with giving you that phenomenal Brazilian Wax to write home about.Your secret is safe with her. 


 One thing to note is that our bodies have a much lower pain tolerance when Aunt Flow is in town.If you are a flincher like me, this may not be your best time for a Bikini Wax. If you are feeling confident and nothing can stop you from coming in, you may want to pop an OTC  like Ibuprofen an hour before your service just in case.

My bits have been lasered. Do I get a deal?

   In the nicest way humanly possible... the answer is no; not that we don't admire and appreciate your less hairy bits.


    We get people of all ages, shapes and degrees of hairiness. Pricing is not based on the number of hairs we remove but the time it takes to get you to hairless perfection. Estheticians have to go through the same motions and use the same amount of product as any ol' wax.
