Get answers to common questions about Sides.

Most clients see regrowth in about three to six weeks depending on hair growth cycles. With regular waxing, regrowth often becomes finer and sparser; we recommend maintenance appointments every four to six weeks for consistently smooth sides.

Temporary redness or mild sensitivity is normal for a few hours after waxing. We apply calming aftercare to reduce inflammation. Avoid heat, exfoliation and direct sun for 24–48 hours; if you have very reactive skin, request a patch test before full treatment.

Clean skin free of oils and makeup ensures the best results. Gently exfoliate 48 hours before, avoid topical retinoids or harsh acids for a week, and arrive with at least 1/4 inch of hair growth. Avoid sun exposure and heavy moisturizers before your visit.

Yes, we commonly pair sides waxing with brow threading, shaping, or tinting to create a cohesive finish. Book combined services to save time; technicians will coordinate aftercare and timing for a comfortable, efficient appointment tailored to your needs.

Waxing removes hair from the root, delaying regrowth and often resulting in finer hair over time. Unlike shaving, waxing reduces stubble and frequency of upkeep. It’s ideal if you want smoother skin and longer intervals between treatments.

Avoid hot showers, saunas, and heavy sweating for 24 hours. Keep the area clean, apply soothing aloe or chamomile gel, avoid exfoliation for 48 hours, and use SPF to protect freshly waxed skin from sun irritation.
