Waxing at Taft Aesthetics LLC in Wilson NC

Waxing is a hair removal method that involves applying a thin layer of wax to the skin and then quickly pulling off the wax and unwanted hair. This process removes hair from the root, resulting in smooth skin.

Waxing offers longer-lasting results compared to shaving because it removes hair from the root. It can also lead to finer regrowth over time and may result in softer skin.

Waxing can be performed on various areas of the body, including the legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, face, and eyebrows. There are specific waxes designed for different body parts to ensure safe and effective hair removal.

Waxing can cause some discomfort, as the hair is being pulled out from the root. However, many people find that the sensation lessens over time with regular waxing, and the results are worth the temporary discomfort.

For successful waxing, hair should be at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch long. This allows the wax to grip the hair effectively for removal. Avoid shaving between waxing sessions to maintain this optimal hair length.

The frequency of waxing depends on how quickly your hair grows back and your personal preferences. Generally, it is recommended to wax every 3 to 6 weeks to maintain smooth skin and prevent ingrown hairs.
