Waxing FAQ's
What are the benefits of
waxing?
Personal reasons, more hygienic, sports related benefits for athletes, improved
appearance, eliminated stubble growth, enhanced muscle definition, smooth look &
feel - to name a few.
Does waxing hurt?
There is a stinging sensation that does not last long. Auburn Electrology,
Skin & Nail Care offers Relax & Wax No Scream Cream to our more sensitive
clients.
 What is No Scream Cream?
Relax and Wax No Scream Cream
is a topical anesthetic (numbing cream) applied 35-45 minutes prior to your
appointment and makes the waxing procedure much more comfortable for some
clients who are highly sensitive. This topical anesthetic contains the
highest percentage of Benzocaine available without a prescription. It is
water based, absorbed into the skin, and will not interfere with your waxing.
No Scream Cream is not messy or greasy, and will not harm clothing. Please visit our
Products
Page for more information!
What is a Brazilian wax?
There are many definitions for Brazilian. One definition is all hair in your
pubic area is removed. The occasional client will prefer to leave a strip
of hair in the front of the genital area.
Is my underwear on or off
during a Brazilian wax?
Off (since Brazilian waxing involves the entire genital region.)
What is double dipping?
Double dipping is when a waxologist uses the same waxing utensil over and
over and in some salons, on different clients. Due to hygiene habits and
cleanliness concerns, we do NOT double dip here at AESNC but instead use
disposable applicators.
How long does hair have to be?
A minimum of 1/4” long, about 2-3 weeks after your last shave.
How long will the results last & how often will I have to have it done?
Each person varies some 3 weeks some longer, but we recommend regular waxing
appointments every 4 weeks to maintain your smooth appearance. Once you've
started waxing, you'll never want to revert to shaving because regular waxing
weakens the hair and the re growth slows down, leaving you smoother longer!

Best results occur when hair is grown out for at least two weeks or at least 1/4 of an inch long. Some physicians do not recommend waxing for persons suffering from diabetes or who have varicose veins or poor circulation as they are more susceptible to infection. Waxing is never done on clients taking Accutane and is not recommended for clients taking Retin A, Renova, Differin or other types of skin thinning acne medications. Please read the label carefully and consult your dermatologist if you are taking any medication or using any topical cream that contains these medications
