Hair Removal
Professional Waxing Services
Smooth, long-lasting hair removal for the face and body by licensed aestheticians trained at the Aveda Institute, Avenue Academy, and Paul Mitchell the School.
Bair Medical Spa’s licensed aestheticians were trained and certified by the Aveda Institute, Avenue Academy, and Paul Mitchell the School to perform professional waxing treatments for the face and any area of the body. Each waxing session is tailored to your skin type, hair texture, and personal comfort level, ensuring a thorough and efficient treatment every time.
Unlike shaving, which only cuts hair at the skin’s surface, professional waxing removes hair directly from the root. This means results last significantly longer — typically three to six weeks of smooth, hair-free skin. Over time, consistent waxing weakens the hair follicle, causing regrowth to come in finer, softer, and sparser. Many clients find that after several regular sessions, their waxing appointments become quicker, less uncomfortable, and produce even longer-lasting results.
Our aestheticians use premium wax formulations selected to minimize irritation and maximize effectiveness. Hard wax is used for sensitive areas such as the face, bikini line, and underarms, while soft wax is applied for larger body areas like the legs, arms, back, and chest. This dual-wax approach ensures that every area receives the most appropriate and comfortable treatment possible.
Whether you are preparing for a special occasion, maintaining a regular grooming routine, or trying waxing for the first time, the team at Bair Medical Spa provides a clean, comfortable, and professional environment. We treat clients of all skin tones and hair types and are happy to answer any questions during your appointment.
Benefits
Why Choose Professional Waxing
Long-Lasting Smoothness
Results last three to six weeks, far longer than shaving or depilatory creams. Enjoy weeks of smooth, hair-free skin between appointments.
Finer Regrowth Over Time
Repeated waxing weakens the hair follicle, causing hair to grow back thinner, softer, and less noticeable with each session.
No Razor Burn or Stubble
Eliminate razor bumps, nicks, cuts, and the rough stubble that appears within hours of shaving. Waxed skin stays smooth to the touch.
Built-In Exfoliation
The waxing process gently removes dead skin cells along with unwanted hair, leaving your skin brighter, softer, and more evenly textured.
Precision Shaping
Our aestheticians deliver expert shaping for eyebrows, bikini lines, and other areas where clean lines and symmetry matter most.
Full Face & Body Coverage
From delicate facial areas like the brows and upper lip to larger zones like the legs, back, and chest — we treat every area with care.
Ideal Candidates
Is Waxing Right for You?
Professional waxing is suitable for most adults who want a longer-lasting alternative to shaving. Whether you are looking to maintain smooth legs, shape your eyebrows, or keep your bikini line clean, waxing offers a reliable and effective solution for all skin tones and most hair types.
Waxing is especially beneficial for individuals who experience razor burn, ingrown hairs, or irritation from shaving. Because waxing removes hair from the root rather than cutting it at the surface, it significantly reduces the likelihood of these common issues. Clients who are tired of the daily hassle of shaving often find waxing to be a welcome change.
However, waxing may not be appropriate for clients who are currently using prescription retinoids, Accutane, or certain topical medications that thin the skin. If you have active sunburn, open wounds, or skin infections in the area to be treated, your aesthetician may recommend postponing your appointment. During your visit, our team will review any concerns and ensure that waxing is safe and appropriate for you.
The Process
What to Expect
Preparation
Your aesthetician cleanses the treatment area and applies a pre-wax oil or powder to protect the skin and help the wax adhere to the hair rather than the skin. The type of wax — hard or soft — is selected based on the area being treated.
Application & Removal
Warm wax is applied in the direction of hair growth in small, manageable sections. For soft wax, a cloth strip is pressed over the wax and removed swiftly against the direction of growth. Hard wax is allowed to cool and is removed without a strip. Each section takes only seconds.
Detail Work
Your aesthetician checks the treated area for any remaining hairs and performs touch-ups as needed. For shaping services like eyebrows, precise measurements and symmetry checks ensure clean, flattering lines.
Soothing & Aftercare
A calming post-wax lotion or aloe gel is applied to reduce redness and soothe the skin. Your aesthetician provides aftercare instructions tailored to the areas treated, including tips on exfoliation and sun protection.
Recovery & Aftercare
Simple Aftercare, Beautiful Results
Waxing requires minimal recovery. Most clients return to their normal routine immediately after their appointment. Mild redness or sensitivity in the treated area is normal and typically subsides within a few hours. Applying a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer can help keep the skin comfortable and hydrated.
For the first 24 to 48 hours after your session, avoid hot baths, saunas, direct sun exposure, and heavy exercise that causes excessive sweating. Tight clothing should be avoided over freshly waxed areas, particularly after bikini or underarm treatments, to prevent friction and irritation.
To maintain smooth results and prevent ingrown hairs, begin gentle exfoliation two to three days after your appointment and continue two to three times per week between sessions. Avoid shaving between waxing appointments — this disrupts the hair growth cycle and can reduce the effectiveness of your next wax. With consistent appointments every four to six weeks, you will notice progressively finer regrowth and longer-lasting smoothness.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does waxing hurt?
Most clients describe waxing as a brief, tolerable sting that lasts only a second or two per strip. Sensitivity varies by area — finer skin around the eyebrows or bikini line tends to be more sensitive than the legs or arms. Our licensed aestheticians use high-quality wax formulations and precise techniques to minimize discomfort. With regular appointments, many clients find that the sensation decreases significantly over time as the hair grows back finer and the follicle weakens.
How often should I schedule waxing appointments?
For best results, we recommend scheduling waxing appointments every four to six weeks. This timing allows the hair to reach the ideal length of about one-quarter inch for effective removal. Consistent waxing on this schedule helps synchronize hair growth cycles, which means smoother results and less discomfort over time. Your aesthetician at Bair Medical Spa will recommend a personalized schedule based on your hair type, growth rate, and the area being treated.
How should I prepare for a waxing appointment?
Allow your hair to grow to at least one-quarter inch in length — roughly two to three weeks of growth after shaving. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and retinol products on the treatment area for at least 48 hours before your appointment. Gently exfoliate the area a day or two prior to help prevent ingrown hairs. On the day of your appointment, keep the skin clean and free of lotions, oils, or deodorant on the area to be waxed. Avoid caffeine and alcohol beforehand, as they can increase skin sensitivity.
What areas of the body can be waxed?
Bair Medical Spa offers waxing for virtually any area of the face and body. Popular facial waxing areas include the eyebrows, upper lip, chin, and sideburns. Body waxing areas include full legs, half legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, Brazilian, back, chest, and stomach. Our licensed aestheticians will customize each treatment to your specific needs and ensure your comfort throughout the session.
What should I do after my waxing appointment?
For the first 24 to 48 hours after waxing, avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and direct sun exposure on the treated area. Wear loose, breathable clothing to prevent irritation, especially after bikini or underarm waxing. Avoid heavy exercise that causes excessive sweating for at least 24 hours. Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. Begin gentle exfoliation two to three days after your appointment to help prevent ingrown hairs. Your aesthetician will provide personalized aftercare instructions based on the areas treated.
Is waxing better than shaving?
Waxing offers several advantages over shaving. Because waxing removes hair from the root rather than cutting it at the surface, results last three to six weeks compared to just one or two days with shaving. Waxed hair grows back finer and softer over time, while shaved hair returns with a blunt, stubbly edge. Waxing also eliminates the risk of razor burn, nicks, and cuts. Additionally, the waxing process provides gentle exfoliation, removing dead skin cells along with the hair for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
