Frequently Asked Questions
It'll be my first time getting a Brazilian, how should I prepare?
Yay! That's so exciting! We recommend exfoliating 2-3 times a week leading up to your appointment, making sure there's adequate hair growth to ensure the best possible results; usually the length of a grain of rice is enough. Additionally, taking an ibuprofen prior to your appointment MAY help in slightly reducing the pain of waxing.
What if I’m on my period, should I reschedule?
Nope! Unless you find you experience a significant increase in sensitivity, we recommend taking an ibuprofen prior to the appointment and ensuring you have a tampon etc. in place. Additionally, given this policy, unfortunately unless given 24-hour notice, you will be subject to a cancellation fee.
How long should I wait between waxes?
It really depends on your hair growth. Your esthetician will discuss the length recommended between waxes, but the consensus is generally between 2-4 weeks for facial waxing and 4-6 weeks for body waxing.
What should I do after my wax?
This will be discussed with your esthetician, but we generally recommend holding off any type of exfoliation for body waxing 24-48 hours post wax. For facial waxing, at least 24 hours should be observed before any type of exfoliation.
Exfoliation can include your loofah or body gloves, a physical scrub, or by using a chemical exfoliant like PFB (all of these options are available for purchase at Centered Aesthetics 😉)
I'm running late! Will I be charged a no-show fee?
Just let us know! We'll do everything we can to accommodate depending on availability. However, after 10 minutes we will have to cancel your appointment in order to ensure all clients receive the highest level of service. This policy helps us manage our appointments effectively and allows us to allocate sufficient time for each service. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining a smooth operation for everyone involved.
What should I do after getting my eyebrows tinted?
Enjoy! After tinting your eyebrows, there’s actually nothing special you need to do. We recommend refraining from using ‘active’ skincare to prolong the life of your tint. Additionally, some clients will hold off from washing the brow area the evening of the tint to allow it to really stain the hairs, but that is based entirely on preference.
What if I’m under 18, can I still get waxed?
Absolutely! We’ll ask for a parent/guardian to sign off on the release form, and we’ll be good to go!
