FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW LONG SHOULD HAIR BE FOR WAXING?

Rule of thumb is 1/4 inch long. If you just shaved, please allow 2 weeks minimum regrowth before service. Otherwise, prepare for a nice tweezing session with your wax service. :)

HOW LONG DO WAX RESULTS LAST?

Everyone is DIFFERENT and your body grows hair at different rates. Typical time frame is 4-6 weeks however each area could be as short as 2-3 weeks or as long as 3 months before you return. Vitamins, nutrition, hormones, medications, and various factors can play a role.

IS IT TRUE HAIR GROWS THINNER OR LESS AFTER WAXING?

Real pros know we have no control over your body, at least with these topical wax applications. We have no clue how deep individual roots go. Some are more shallow than others and some have better growth supply from your life carrying system. Mother nature determines how course it is, what texture it will be, if you will be hairy or bald in some areas over time, etc etc. So let's be real. If you shave, you get sharper tips from hair cut at the surface. When you wax, hair forms from the root beneath the surface and builds up thickness as cells form the hair. Depending on rate of growth and depth of roots, 40-70% of hair may surface at the time of your next maintenance service. Regular services removes hair that is still growing giving it the illusion of having less hair. Trauma to the hair root, changes to your body system, and natural growth rate can also provide noticeable results to hair. However, typically if a client doesn't get waxed in a while such as months or years, expectations are you will have 100% regrowth in the texture mother nature gives you as though you have never been waxed ever. 

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR A WAX SERVICE?

1. BE ON TIME!

2. Have clean or freshly showered skin. 

3. Take some Ibuprofen as a option for comfort. 

4. Don't come in from the beach and or expose treatment area to sunlight before service. Service can cause more harm to burnt or peeling skin. 

5. Don't drink alcohol or salty food before your appointment. This is increase sensitivity to pain and bleeding. 

CAN YOU WAX WHEN I'M PREGNANT OR HAVING A MENSTRUAL CYCLE?

Although it's not recommended, it is possible. Pain sensitivity may be heighten. Clients on light cycle preferred. Will provide service to pregnant women up to 2 weeks before due date. 

DO YOU WAX MEN?

YES. One of very few professionals that provide full service waxing to men including brazilians, nostrils, and ears. 

WHAT ARE MY EXPECTATIONS AFTER WAXING?

Take a cool shower to help close pores. Do not engage in activities that can lead to potential infection immediately following service for up to 48 hours. Keeping skin clean and free of oils and sweat will reduce clogged pores and minimize risks for ingrown hair. . Mildly exfoliate every other day and then every day during regrowth to relieve itching and prepare you for your next service. Light application of aloe vera gel for sensitive skin may be used. No heavy creams and lotions on freshly waxed skin.

WHAT KIND OF MASSAGE DO YOU DO?

We do our best to obtain quality education, learning different modalities and specialties. Most people request specific techniques but prefer a combination of them. A consultation with each client will determine the proper treatment for you. Treatments do not need to be painful to be effective. Our goal is to preserve your body for the long run. Lingering tenderness and chronic issues may be a sign of injury. Seeking professional licensed medical advice is always recommended.

DO YOU DO MASSAGE OUTCALLS?

Outcalls are currently not available. Considerations may be given to clients that own their own tables. Stay tuned for participation in corporate, private, and public events.

WHAT IS MICROBLADING?

Microblading is a manual method of depositing ink into your brows so you don't have to color it in yourself everyday. It's bunch is little needles bonded together in various ways and inserted into a hand tool. The goal is to deposit ink into the brow to mimic natural brow follicles and patterns to create a more well rounded, balanced appearance suited for your face shape.

HOW LONG DOES MICROBLADING LAST?

Typical results will last 6-18 months. Clients will opt for a color boost or "retouch" in areas of the brow where it has faded. Prices vary determining how much retouch is required. The cost of a microblading service is comparatively less overtime compared to other routine beauty services and pampering such as manicures or eyelash extensions. Less money and time is spent on makeup products to fill brows in. First appointments range 3-4 hours. Touch-ups are 2-3 hours. 

WHAT PERMANENT MAKE-UP METHOD IS BEST FOR ME?

Permanent make-up (PMU) or sometimes called semi-permanent make-up (SPMU) offers a variety of techniques. There's manual and machine methods. These are the types of tools use. Then there's microblading, ombre, combination, microneedling techniques and more. These are the types of shading methods used to design the overall appearance of your brows. Keep in mind that not everyone is a candidate for this service and/or for a specific method. Hence, it is very important to do a face to face consultation prior to treatment. There may be contraindications that can prevent someone from either having  the service done or having a desired technique performed.

HOW DO I CHOOSE A MICROBLADING ARTIST?

Do your research. Determine an artist's education, certification, experience, and legitimacy to practice. 

This industry is relatively new and does not have as many regulations as it needs. Ensure your artist is knowledgeable and safe. In Hawaii, a tattoo license and tattoo permit furnished by the Department of Commerce & Consumer Affairs and Board of Health are required to operate. Specific education and sanitation requirements must be met. On a side note, it's about style too. Our style is natural, working with what you have, and offering low maintenance brows to our clients. It's not about whacking off all your brows and giving you brand new ones one inch higher! More advance artists have the ability to create different hair stroke patterns, apply different methods and techniques, work with many skin types and issues, and may be an educator. Prices vary accordingly. Therefore, do not expect the price of a novice to do a Master's work and do not expect a Master artist to provide a discount.
