Women’s Waxing in Edmonton (Ellerslie)

Most people stay smooth for 3–4 weeks. Hair growth varies by area and your cycle, but regular waxing often leads to finer, slower regrowth over time. 

Ideally, hair should be about ¼ inch (6 mm) long (about 2–3 weeks of growth). If hair is too short, wax may not grip well; if it’s very long, we can trim for comfort. 

Bikini waxing removes hair along the bikini line (the sides and top that show outside underwear).
Brazilian waxing removes most or all hair from the front and includes the intimate area, with the option to leave a small strip or shape. 

Waxing can feel uncomfortable, especially the first time, but it’s usually quick and gets easier with regular appointments. We focus on comfort and technique to minimize discomfort. 

Arrive with clean, dry skin and avoid oils/lotions on the area. Gently exfoliate the day before (not the day of). If you’re on your period, you can still wax, but you may be more sensitive - just wear a tampon/cup. 

For 24 hours, avoid hot showers, saunas/steam rooms, hot tubs, tanning, and intense workouts. Wear loose clothing after bikini/Brazilian waxing to reduce friction. 

Start gentle exfoliation 48 hours after your appointment, then 2–3 times per week. This helps prevent ingrown hairs and keeps skin smooth. 

If you use retinol/retinoids or strong acne/brightening products on the area (especially face), you may need to pause before waxing to reduce the risk of irritation. Tell us what you use and where, and we’ll guide you. 

Most clients book every 3–5 weeks, depending on the area and how fast hair grows. Consistent timing usually gives the best results. 

Waxing removes hair from the root, so results last longer and regrowth feels softer. Shaving is faster, but it grows back sooner and can cause stubble. Many clients prefer waxing for longer-lasting smoothness.
