No. Bee Waxing Spa provides waxing services for women only, including Brazilian waxing, bikini waxing, facial waxing, and full body waxing.

A Brazilian wax usually takes 15–30 minutes, depending on hair thickness and experience level.

Most clients experience mild discomfort during their first wax. However, regular waxing every 3–5 weeks typically makes the process faster and less painful over time.

Hair should be at least ¼ inch long (about the length of a grain of rice) for effective waxing. Ideally, hair can be up to ½ inch long. This length allows the wax to properly grip the hair and remove it from the follicle.

Brazilian waxing removes most or all hair from the bikini area. If it’s your first time, proper preparation and knowing what to expect can help make the experience more comfortable. We’re happy to walk you through the process and answer any questions before your appointment.

For best results, waxing should be done regularly every 3 to 5 weeks, depending on your hair growth and skin type. Hair should be at least 2 mm long at the time of your appointment.

Please avoid:

• Tanning or sun exposure
• Shaving
• Trimming the hair too short

These can make waxing less effective or irritate the skin.

For 24 to 48 hours after your wax:

• Keep the area clean
• Avoid heat, friction, sweating, and tight clothing
• Skip hot baths, saunas, and intense workouts

This helps prevent irritation and ingrown hairs.

Waxing removes hair from the root, resulting in smoother skin that lasts longer than shaving. It’s suitable for all skin types and skin tones and can lead to finer regrowth over time.

Yes. Waxing should be avoided on skin that is:

• Irritated or inflamed
• Cut or broken
• Sunburned

If you’re unsure, please ask before your appointment.

Always wax first, then tan.

Wait at least 24 hours after waxing before tanning to avoid irritation and uneven results.

Avoid sun exposure on waxed areas for 24 to 48 hours to allow the skin to heal properly.

Results vary depending on your hair growth cycle and consistency, but most clients enjoy smooth skin for 3 to 5 weeks.
