Waxing FAQs: Everything You Need to Know Before Your Next Appointment

Thinking about booking a Brazilian wax, full body waxing, or even a Manzilian in Decatur, GA? Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned pro, you probably have some questions—and we've got all the answers! At NUUD Wax Studio, we believe in keeping things smooth (literally and figuratively), so here’s everything you need to know before your next wax.

How long should my hair be before a wax?

For best results, your hair should be at least ¼ inch long—about the size of a grain of rice. This ensures the wax can properly grip the hair for a clean and smooth removal. If your hair is too short, the wax won’t pick it up, and if it’s too long, the process may be a little more uncomfortable.

How often should I get a Brazilian wax?

Most clients come in for a Brazilian wax every 4-6 weeks to keep their skin smooth and minimize regrowth. The more consistent you are, the finer and sparser your hair will become over time. Plus, regular waxing weakens the hair follicle, making future waxes even easier! 

Does waxing hurt?

Let’s be real—waxing isn’t a spa massage, but it’s also not unbearable! Discomfort varies from person to person, but we use expert techniques and high-quality wax to make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. Plus, the more you wax, the less sensitive you’ll be!

I’ve never been waxed before—what should I expect?

Your first wax may feel slightly uncomfortable, but our experienced estheticians ensure a quick, professional, and comfortable experience. The good news? It gets easier! With consistent waxing, hair grows back finer and weaker, making each session smoother.

What’s the difference between sugaring and waxing?

Great question! Sugaring is a natural, sugar-based paste that’s gentler on the skin and a great option for those with super sensitive skin. Waxing, on the other hand, uses a resin-based wax that provides a stronger grip, making it more effective for removing coarse hair. Both remove hair from the root and deliver long-lasting smoothness—it all comes down to personal preference! Learn more about the difference between sugaring and waxing in our Sugaring vs. Waxing article. 

Is waxing safe for sensitive skin?

Absolutely! At NUUD Wax Studio, we use skin-friendly, gentle wax and customize our approach based on your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, let us know—we’ll make sure to use the best waxing method for you. Plus, we’ll provide you with aftercare tips to keep your skin happy post-wax.

Can I shave between my waxes?

We strongly recommend avoiding shaving between waxes. Shaving cuts the hair at the surface, which makes it grow back coarser, thicker, and unevenly. This can interfere with your waxing schedule, making your next session more uncomfortable and less effective. Instead, let your hair grow out to at least ¼ inch so the wax can grip properly, ensuring a longer-lasting, smoother result.
