If you’re tired of shaving every few days only to deal with stubble, razor burn, or ingrown hairs, professional waxing could be the game-changer your routine needs. At ENNAesthetics – Designer Skin and Body, our waxing services are designed to leave your skin silky smooth — with results that last weeks, not days.
How does professional waxing work?
Unlike shaving, which cuts hair at the surface of the skin, waxing removes hair directly from the root. Warm wax is applied to the treatment area and then quickly removed, pulling the entire hair follicle with it. Because the root is removed — not just trimmed — it takes significantly longer for hair to grow back.
With consistent waxing appointments, many clients also notice that regrowth becomes finer and sparser over time.
5 benefits of professional waxing over shaving
- Longer-lasting results — smooth skin for 3–6 weeks
- Finer regrowth — hair grows back softer
- No cuts or razor burn — safer for sensitive skin
- Fewer ingrown hairs — cleaner follicle removal
- Smoother skin — no stubble between sessions
How to prepare for your waxing appointment
A little prep goes a long way toward getting the best waxing results. Before your visit to ENNAesthetics, keep these tips in mind:
- Let hair grow to at least ¼ inch so the wax can grip it properly
- Skip lotions, oils, or creams on the day of your appointment
- Gently exfoliate the skin 24 hours before to remove dead skin cells
- Stay hydrated — well-hydrated skin responds better to waxing
Waxing aftercare: how to protect your skin post-wax
After your professional waxing session, your skin needs a little TLC. Follow these aftercare steps to minimize irritation and keep skin smooth longer:
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms for at least 24 hours
- Stay out of direct sun exposure and skip tanning beds
- Wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce friction
- Resist touching the treated area to prevent bacteria transfer
- Moisturize with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion after 24 hours

Frequently asked questions
Does waxing hurt? Some discomfort is normal, especially during your first appointment or when waxing more sensitive areas. However, most clients find that the sensation is very brief and becomes more tolerable with regular treatments as the hair follicle weakens over time. Your ENNAesthetics esthetician will always work to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
How long does hair need to be before waxing? Hair should be at least ¼ inch long — roughly the length of a grain of rice — for the wax to grip it properly. If hair is too short, the wax won’t be able to remove it cleanly. If you’ve been shaving, it’s best to let hair grow for at least 2–3 weeks before your first waxing appointment.
How long do waxing results last? Results typically last between 3 to 6 weeks depending on your hair growth cycle and the area being treated. With regular waxing appointments, many clients find that regrowth becomes finer and slower over time, meaning longer gaps between sessions.
Can I get waxed if I have sensitive skin? Yes, in most cases. Professional waxing uses high-quality wax formulated for different skin types, including sensitive skin. Let your esthetician know about any skin sensitivities, allergies, or medications before your appointment so they can choose the most suitable wax for you.
Is it normal to have redness or bumps after waxing? Mild redness and small bumps immediately after waxing are completely normal and typically subside within a few hours. Following proper aftercare — such as avoiding heat, friction, and touching the treated area — helps minimize any post-wax reaction.
How often should I get waxed? Most clients book waxing appointments every 4 to 6 weeks, which aligns with the natural hair growth cycle. Staying consistent with your appointments helps train the hair to grow back finer and more slowly over time, making each session easier and longer-lasting.
