Before waxing, do not apply fatty creams, balms or oils to the part of the body to be depilated.

How long does the effect of waxing last? What determines its durability?

The effect of waxing lasts on average about 3-4 weeks and depends on the individual hair growth rate. The durability of the effect may vary on individual parts of the body.

Hair is in different stages of growth and some of it is not visible above the skin at the time of epilation. Therefore, after the first treatments, some hair may appear faster. Regular visits will help even out hair growth.

How long can irritation last after waxing?

The skin may be irritated and red immediately after depilation – this is completely natural. However, on the second or third day, when he rests, the redness disappears. After waxing, the skin is nice and soft to the touch.

Standard strip wax and Magic Wax – what is the difference and which depilatory wax should you choose?

accordion icon

Magic Wax is Time for Wax’s own wax/ It is produced only from natural ingredients. It sticks only to the hair (and not to the skin), so it helps minimize discomfort during the treatment and irritation after depilation. It is especially recommended for bikini hair removal (women’s and men’s) and other small body parts and when:

  • You have delicate skin and a tendency to irritation,
  • you are sensitive to pain,
  • this is your first hair removal,
    – you want your skin to return to normal as soon as possible.

The standard strip wax used in Time for Wax is the softest strip wax available on the market. It is very effective and is recommended for depilation of large body parts. Strip waxing lasts very little time.

Our experienced beauticians will help you choose between strip wax and Magic Wax during the treatment.

What is the difference between different types of intimate hair removal: classic bikini, Brazilian bikini and French bikini?

accordion icon

Brazilian hair removal at Time for Wax is a complete bikini hair removal. This type of hair removal is often referred to as full or deep hair removal. Brazilian surgery involves the removal of hair from the pubic mound, labia and anal area.
The classic bikini is the shallowest type of bikini, where only the groins are depilated up to the panty line.
Bikini french is an intermediate version between Brazilian and classic hair removal. It involves depilation of the groin and part of the pubic mound, leaving a vertical strip along its entire length.
Classic and French bikinis do not cover the rear parts of the body.

Brazilian and Hollywood hair removal – what are the differences?

accordion icon

At Time for Wax, complete bikini removal, covering the front and back (also called full or deep removal) is called Brazilian hair removal. In beauty salons, this type of hair removal is often called Hollywood hair removal.

What is the procedure for waxing intimate areas?

accordion icon

Before the treatment, we will ask you to use a bidet and refresh your intimate areas. There will be disposable panties waiting for you in the office, which you will remain in for the duration of the procedure. What does Brazilian hair removal look like? The beautician applies the heated wax to a temperature of 37-38°C with a spatula on subsequent parts of the skin, then removes the wax along with the hair. To ensure the comfort of the treatment, the beautician may ask you for help in stretching the skin during depilation, and will also suggest what position you should adopt for safe and comfortable depilation. After the treatment, you can lubricate your skin with olive oil or balm recommended by the beautician.

Does Brazilian waxing hurt?

accordion icon

Applying the wax doesn’t hurt – removing it may be unpleasant, but it’s hard to judge how much. Some people experience the procedure as very painful, others believe that it only causes slight and short-term discomfort. For people who are sensitive to pain, we recommend depilation using our original Magic Wax wax, created specifically for bikini depilation – thanks to its use, pain and irritation are reduced to a minimum.

Is waxing during pregnancy safe?

accordion icon

Waxing is performed on future mothers only if their well-being and health condition allow it. In advanced pregnancy, the matter is very individual. If the future mother depilates throughout her pregnancy and tolerates the procedure well, and the doctor sees no contraindications, she can safely continue depilation. The final decision always rests with the future mother. If you have not used waxing before, you can use this service until the 6th month of pregnancy. After this time, for the safety of you and your baby, waxing is not recommended.

Is waxing possible during menstruation?

accordion icon

Waxing during menstruation is absolutely possible. There are no contraindications in the medical or “technical” sense. In the case of bikini hair removal, you only need to protect yourself with a tampon and pay special attention to the hygiene of your intimate areas before and after the treatment. However, we advise against depilation during menstruation for people sensitive to pain, because sensitivity to stimuli increases in this phase of the menstrual cycle.

Can I come for waxing at Time for Wax with my child?

accordion icon

For the sake of your child, we ask that you do not take your child to visit Time for Wax. It’s about safety reasons. We use hot wax in our salons, which poses a danger to your child. Find a moment just for yourself, ask your partner, grandmother, aunt or nanny to look after your baby. Thanks to this, your child will be safe and you will not have to take care of him.

Ingrown hairs – how to deal with them?

accordion icon

If you are prone to ingrown hairs, pay special attention to skin care before and after epilation. It is particularly important to regularly use a coarse-grained peeling (e.g. Time for Wax Professional coarse-grained sugar peeling), which will effectively exfoliate dead skin and make it easier for hair to break through the skin. For people prone to ingrown hairs, we recommend depilation with our Magic Wax, which will help avoid this problem and reduce irritation.

How should a man take care of his skin after waxing?

accordion icon

Men sweat more intensely than women, so it is especially important for them to take care of their hygiene after depilation. They find bacteria in sweat that can cause inflammation of hair follicles. We recommend using antibacterial soap on depilated parts. Men should also remember to avoid the gym, swimming pool, sauna and solarium for the first few days after waxing.

What is folliculitis and how to deal with it?

accordion icon

Sometimes people who undergo waxing treatments suffer from inflammation of the hair follicles. This is redness around the place where the hair bulb used to be, which may develop into a pimple or itch over time. Therefore, remember to follow the recommendations after the procedure:

  1. At home, use antibacterial preparations (tonics, soap) to care for the depilated areas.
  2. Immediately after facial depilation, do not apply powders and foundations to the skin, which often clog pores (the skin after depilation is irritated, the hair follicles are freshly removed and there is a greater risk of inflammation of the hair follicles).
  3. After depilation, all kinds of cosmetics with aloe work very well: they soothe the skin and accelerate the regeneration of the epidermis. Therefore, it is worth applying an aloe mask at home.
  4. For the first days, before each application of lotion or body butter, it is a good idea to disinfect the skin with hydrogen peroxide or clean it with antibacterial soap.

Proper hygiene before and after waxing minimizes the risk of follicle inflammation.

Before your first visit

First: Italian

accordion icon

We know that you want to entrust your unwanted hair to us. That’s why we want you to be well prepared and satisfied with the results.

For depilation to be successful, the hair must be between 0.5 and 1 cm long. Don’t feel like measuring yourself? For simplicity, we will write that the hair reaches this length approximately 14 days after the last shaving. So you have to endure it for 2 weeks and you are ready for hair removal.

Second: Leather

accordion icon

It is best if you regularly moisturize your skin (creams, balms). Dry epidermis is prone to irritation, redness and even minor wounds.

Before depilation, exfoliate. This will exfoliate the epidermis and make the hairs stand up and be easier to remove.

Third: What should not be done immediately before epilation

accordion icon

Do not lubricate the skin with olives or fatty balms or creams, as the wax will be difficult to adhere to the hairs.

Do not use the sauna and solarium.

The beautician may refuse to depilate if she sees that your skin is irritated, the epidermis is torn, or there are visible changes.

Contraindications to hair removal are varicose veins and broken capillaries.
