Frequently asked questions

Before calling or texting the salon, check to see if your question is answered here!

Can I get waxed on my period?

Yes! Many people believe that if you have your period, you can't get waxed. Please come to your appointment with a fresh tampon or menstrual cup, and you're good to go. Be aware that you may be more sensitive during your period though, so you may feel more discomfort than usual.

How long does my hair need to be to get waxed?

Your hair must be at least the size of a grain of rice (1/4 of an inch) in order to be waxed.

Are there ways to save money at your salon?

Absolutely! We understand the need to have afforable beauty services, and that's why we try our best to offer discounts when possible. If you pre-book your Brazilian wax in person, you can save $5 next time. If you're a UNT staff or student, show us your ID card and save 10% on your service. We also offer monthly promotions on different services! You can ask us at the salon or on social media about them.

How can I minimize pain from waxing and laser?

Everyone has different comfort levels, so we get that some services may be more painful to some. If you find waxing or laser painful, try a numbing cream or pop an Advil 30 minutes before!

How do I know your salon is sanitary?

We thoroughly clean our rooms before and after each service to maintain a clean workspace. Most of our tools are disposable and get thrown out after each client. For tools that cannot be disposed of (tweezers, scissors, etc), we clean and sanitize them before re-using.
