Grow hair to about ¼ inch (6 mm) — the length of a grain of rice; that's 2–3 weeks after shaving
If it's longer than ½ inch, leave it — we'll trim before waxing
Gently exfoliate 24–48 hours before, not on the day
Skip lotion, oil and deodorant on the area on the day

Aftercare

No hot baths, saunas, steam, swimming or heavy workouts for 24 hours
Wear loose clothing over waxed areas for the rest of the day
Skip fragranced lotions, self-tan and deodorant (underarms) for 24 hours
Start gentle exfoliation 2–3 days later, 2–3 times a week, to prevent ingrown hairs

How MK Elegance Studio keeps things clean →

Is waxing or sugaring better for Kitchener clients with sensitive skin?

Both remove hair from the root and can suit sensitive skin when done well. MK Elegance Studio uses professional wax, applied in small sections with the skin held taut and finished with a soothing lotion. If your skin is very reactive, try one area first, and tell us about retinoids or recent sun so we can adjust.

How much is a full face wax near Kitchener?

$60.11 for about 45 minutes at MK Elegance Studio. If you've never waxed your face before, book First-Time Elegance Full Face Waxing for $54.88 instead — extra time, extra explanation. Single areas start at $8.64 for the upper lip.

Can I wax if I'm using acne medication?

Topical retinoids or benzoyl peroxide: stop them on the area 5–7 days before waxing, or choose threading. Isotretinoin (Accutane): no waxing at all until 6 months after your last dose — the skin can lift. Antibiotics for acne can also make skin more sensitive; tell us when you book.
