Waxing FAQ's
Wax That Cat FAQ 🐱✨
HOW LONG WILL MY WAX LAST?
If you’ve been shaving regularly, your hair may need a little “reset period.” Most clients start seeing their best results after about 2–3 consistent wax appointments. That’s when you’ll notice:
• smoother skin for longer
• softer regrowth
• thinner, patchier hair over time 💖
Most clients settle into about 3–4 weeks of smoothness depending on their hair cycle and hormones (because yes… hormones absolutely love keeping us humble 🐱).
If you haven’t shaved much before waxing, you may notice amazing results even faster.
HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT AFTER SHAVING BEFORE GETTING WAXED?
Usually about 3–4 weeks. Hair grows in different cycles, so we need enough length and enough active growth to grab everything properly.
Coming in too soon can leave you with uneven results, stubborn patches, and disappointment — and nobody wants that ✨
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET WAXED?
Most Wax That Cat clients book every 4–6 weeks depending on the area and their growth pattern.
Consistency really matters here. The more regularly you wax, the more cooperative your hair tends to become over time 🐱💛
CAN I SHAVE BETWEEN APPOINTMENTS?
Short answer: please don’t.
Waxing removes hair from the root, which helps weaken regrowth over time. Shaving cuts the hair bluntly at the surface, essentially restarting the cycle and undoing the progress we’ve built together.
It can also increase irritation and ingrown hairs — especially in sensitive areas.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER MY FIRST WAX?
First: smooth skin and a newfound appreciation for fresh sheets ✨🐱
Second: some temporary redness or sensitivity is completely normal, especially after your first visit. Most reactions calm down within 24–48 hours.
If you’re preparing for a wedding, vacation, photoshoot, or special event, I always recommend doing your first wax at least a month ahead of time so we can see how your skin responds before the big day 💖
CAN I GET WAXED ON MY PERIOD?
Yes, absolutely. Just know your skin may be more sensitive during that time of the month, so things can feel a little spicier than usual 🐱🔥
If possible, try to avoid scheduling during the first couple days of your cycle — but if that’s when life works out, no worries. We’ve seen it all here.
IS WAXING SANITARY?
1000% yes ✨
At Wax That Cat, we never double dip wax sticks. Ever. Cleanliness isn’t optional here — it’s standard.
ARE PRODUCTS OR MEDICATIONS I SHOULD AVOID BEFORE WAXING?
Yes, and this one is important.
Certain medications and skincare ingredients can make your skin extra sensitive and more prone to lifting during waxing. This includes things like:
• Accutane
• Retin-A / Retinol
• Differin
• Salicylic Acid
• Glycolic Acid
• Benzoyl Peroxide
If you’re unsure about anything, please ask before your appointment 🐱💛 I’d always rather answer questions ahead of time than damage your skin trying to “just see what happens.”
CAN I TAN BEFORE OR AFTER A WAX?
Freshly tanned or sunburned skin should never be waxed. Ever.
Please wait about 2–3 days after tanning before your appointment, and avoid tanning for about 3 days after waxing as well. Waxed skin is more sensitive to heat and UV exposure ✨
If your skin is pink, burned, or peeling — we reschedule. Your skin barrier comes first.
HOW LONG SHOULD MY HAIR BE?
Think grain-of-rice length 🐱
About 1/4 inch is ideal for most areas. If your hair is extra coarse, slightly longer can help for the first few appointments.
If it’s gotten too long, don’t shave it down — just lightly trim with clippers if needed.
WILL I GET INGROWN HAIRS?
Maybe — but we can usually keep them under control ✨
Ingrowns happen when dead skin traps new hair under the surface, especially in areas with friction, sweat, or tight clothing.
Your best defense:
• gentle exfoliation 2–3 days after waxing
• regular moisturizing
• loose clothing after appointments
And gentle means gentle 🐱 please do not attack your skin with a sandblaster loofah.
HOW DO I PREVENT IRRITATION OR INGROWNS AFTER WAXING?
For the first 24–48 hours after your wax, try to avoid:
• hot tubs & saunas
• tanning
• tight clothing
• heavy sweating
• harsh exfoliants or fragranced products
• touching the area excessively
Freshly waxed follicles are open and vulnerable for a short time, so keeping things calm, clean, and breathable helps tremendously 💖
WILL WAXING MAKE MY HAIR GROW BACK THICKER?
Nope — that’s shaving’s reputation, not waxing’s 🐱
Waxing removes hair from the root, so regrowth typically comes back softer and finer over time. Many long-term clients notice less overall hair growth altogether.
Hormones, however, are still doing whatever they want ✨
WHAT IS THE CANCELLATION POLICY?
Life happens — I totally get it.
I do ask for at least 1 hour notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Same-day cancellations and no-shows may be charged 50% of the booked service.
When you reserve an appointment, that time is held specifically for you 💛
CAN I GET WAXED WHILE PREGNANT?
Absolutely. Many pregnant clients continue waxing throughout pregnancy 🐱
That said, your skin can be more sensitive due to hormonal changes, so things may feel a bit more intense than usual. Just keep me informed so I can adjust and keep you comfortable.
DO MEN GET WAXED TOO?
Absolutely ✨
From backs and chests to brows, ears, noses, and full-body grooming — men wax too more often than people think.
The only thing I generally don’t recommend waxing is most men’s facial hair. That hair type tends to be too coarse and deeply rooted for facial waxing to be worth the irritation. I will, however, clean up the neck and cheek line at the natural hairline for a sharper finish — just no full face waxing for men.
