Waxing

FAQ about Waxing

  • This is my first time getting my eyebrows waxed. Will it hurt?
  • For your first time, redness and some soreness is expected. At Linda Marie’s we use a sensitive line wax which is softer on follicles and helps eliminate redness. Your experienced esthetician will also apply a skin soother to help calm the skin and subdue redness.
  • Does waxing permanently eliminate hair?
  • No waxing is not a permanent way to remove unwanted hair. Please check out our electrolysis or laser hair removal for permanent methods.
  • How long does waxing last for?
  • Waxing lasts three to six weeks, depending on each individual’s hair growth cycle. The more often you come in to get waxed the longer you will be able to wait between appointments before hair is visible again. This has to do with the alignment of the hair growth cycle within each of your follicles.
  • What is the difference between Waxing and Threading?
  • Waxing and threading both remove unwanted hair from the follicle, and therefore have similar timelines of longevity. Waxing is an efficient and quick way to remove hair, while threading tends to take a bit longer as it is highly dependent upon the skill of the worker. Waxing uses wax to adhere to the hair which is then removed in a quick pull. Threading uses string to trap the hair, which is then pulled.
  • Waxing vs Shaving
  • Shaving removes hair at the top epidermal layer of the skin, right above the hair follicle. Waxing removes hair from its root found in the hair follicle. Therefore the root of the hair is still intact during shaving and will grow back faster than waxing. Shaving also creates a clean cut in the hair, which is why it will feel prickly when growing back in.
