Our Waxing Services at BASE Spa & Wellness

Waxing is hair removal from the root using a heated soft or hard wax. The wax used depends on the provider’s preference and the type of hair being removed. Regardless of the location on the body, the hair will need to be a minimum length of 1/4 inch. If you’re unsure, you may compare it to a short grain of rice.

Soft wax, or strip wax, is a low-heat wax removed with a special type of cloth. It is ideal for large areas because it makes the process quick and least painful.

Hard wax is a little hotter than soft wax and is applied to set without paper. It hardens while remaining flexible and can be removed in one piece.

For all of our waxing services, we use sensitive wax to prevent the skin from becoming irritated. We also prep the skin with a cleaning solution and depilatory oil to maintain sanitation and skin integrity. To soothe the skin, you can apply cooling aloe gel following the service.

Is Waxing Right for Me?

Waxing is an excellent option if you’re looking for longer-lasting hair removal compared to shaving. It removes hair from the root, meaning smoother skin for weeks. If you have sensitive skin, we offer gentle waxing for all skin types to minimize irritation. We offer facial waxing, bikini waxing, or full-body waxing.

What to Expect During a Waxing Session

Never had a waxing session before? Here’s what you can expect:

  • Your aesthetician will discuss your skin type, any allergies, and the area being waxed to provide the best experience.
  • The skin is cleansed, and a pre-wax treatment is applied to protect it.
  • Using high-quality wax, hair is removed efficiently with minimal discomfort.
  • A soothing lotion is applied to calm the skin and reduce redness after the waxing session.

Waxing Aftercare

Proper aftercare helps maintain smooth skin and prevents irritation. Avoid hot showers, saunas, and excessive sweating for 24 hours.

Exfoliate gently a few days after waxing to prevent ingrown hairs. It will also help to moisturize daily to keep your skin soft. Avoid direct sun exposure immediately after waxing.

The Benefits of Professional Waxing for Longer-Lasting Smooth Skin

Waxing is a great way to maintain silky skin without the hassle of daily shaving. Hair takes about four weeks to grow back, and regrowth is often finer and softer over time.
Unlike shaving, waxing doesn’t cause razor burns, nicks, or cuts. The process also exfoliates by removing dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
When done professionally, waxing is more precise, hygienic, and less painful, ensuring even hair removal with minimal irritation. Skilled estheticians use high-quality products and techniques to reduce discomfort and help prevent ingrown hairs.
With consistent waxing, hair may grow back thinner, weaker, and less frequently, making long-term maintenance even easier.

Why Choose BASE Spa & Wellness?

At BASE Spa & Wellness, we prioritize comfort, hygiene, and excellent results. Our skilled professionals use high-quality products to remove hair effectively and with minimal discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does waxing last?

Waxing keeps your skin smooth for about three to four weeks. Regrowth time varies based on hair type and personal growth cycles, but over time, hair may become finer and sparser with regular waxing sessions.

Will waxing make my hair grow back thicker?

No, waxing does not cause hair to grow back thicker. In fact, repeated waxing can lead to finer regrowth since it weakens hair follicles over time.

Is waxing painful?

Pain tolerance varies, but most people describe waxing as a quick, mild discomfort that improves with regular treatments. Our professionals use gentle waxing for all skin types to minimize any discomfort.

Can I wax if I have sensitive skin?

Yes! We offer gentle waxing for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Let us know about any concerns during your consultation so we can recommend the best approach for you.

What areas can be waxed?

We provide professional waxing services for various areas, including the face, arms, legs, underarms, back, bikini line, and Brazilian waxing. If you’re unsure which option is best for you, our team can guide you during your visit.

How soon can I wax after shaving?

For the best results, wait at least two to three weeks after shaving before waxing. Hair should be about a quarter-inch long so the wax can grip it properly. If the hair is too short, the wax may not remove it effectively, leading to uneven results.
