Waxing

Get flawless, touchable skin with results that last!

Long Island Waxing

Most human bodies naturally produce hair, but not all of it is wanted. Fortunately, it’s easier than ever to achieve butter-smooth, hair-free skin for weeks at a time with convenient hair waxing services. Unlike shaving, waxing doesn’t just cut hair strands short so they can quickly grow back. Instead, it pulls the hair out from the roots to deliver longer-lasting smoothness. In some cases, waxing can result in hair-free skin for up to six weeks!

Blue Water Spa is a leading provider of hair removal services, including waxing, throughout the Oyster Bay area. We apply high-quality wax to the skin to carefully remove the hair and roots from the follicles. We can wax many different problem areas, including the bikini area, armpits, legs, and face. Contact us to schedule a consultation and discover how effective waxing can be for delivering long-lasting, hair-free skin.

Why Do People Choose Waxing for Hair Removal?

Waxing is a popular hair removal option because it temporarily reduces hair growth, offers long-lasting results, and can deliver long-term cost savings. Many people find that waxing results in fewer ingrown hairs than shaving. It also removes the risk of razor burn or painful razor cuts. It can give you silky skin for weeks at a time, which makes it an excellent hair removal solution for vacations and special occasions.

How Much Does Body Waxing Cost?

Body waxing pricing varies by geographical location, treatment area size, and provider. Here’s what we charge for the following popular waxing treatment areas:

How Should I Prepare for My Waxing Appointment?

To prepare for your waxing appointment, it’s a good idea to gently exfoliate your skin a couple of days beforehand. That way, the wax will adhere better and will be more effective. You should also avoid tanning beds or sunlight exposure for at least a couple of days before your appointment. Tanning too soon to your treatment can make your skin more sensitive than it would be otherwise.

Waxing is most effective when the hair is long enough for the wax to “grab” onto it. Therefore, you should try to grow your hair out in the treatment area for at least a week, if possible. If you’re getting a bikini wax or Brazilian wax, you’ll need to grow the hair out even longer (for a minimum of two weeks). This might feel uncomfortable, but remember that the hair will soon be gone for up to six weeks!

Finally, make sure you treat any sunburns or rashes well before your appointment. Otherwise, your skin could tear while you’re getting waxed. To further protect the treatment site, drink plenty of water to keep your body and skin well-hydrated. You may also want to apply gentle moisturizers to the treatment sites to keep the skin healthy prior to your waxing session.

Waxing Aftercare Tips

It is key to follow some suggested rules after completing a waxing hair removal procedure to minimize any adverse side effects. Avoid the below activities for a day after the procedure:

Taking these steps will help maximize your results after waxing.

How Long Does Waxing Last?

In the beginning, you may experience more growth and random hairs popping up in the 1-2 weeks after your appointment than you would after waxing for a few months. Once you have been waxing for 3-6 months, you experience around 2 weeks free of hair with 1-2 weeks of random hairs beginning to pop up and then proceeding to reach ¼ inch (bikini area).

Most people are ready to wax again at about 4 weeks for bikini, 5 for backs, around 3 for legs (lower) and underarms, 2-5 for facial hair, upper legs 4-6 weeks. These are generalizations/estimates. It depends on how long you have been waxing, how many active hair follicles you have, your aftercare, whether or not you’re shaving in between, the texture of your hair, and how fast it grows.

Waxing FAQs

How Long Does The Hair Need To Be In Order To Wax?

In the area where you intend to wax, your hair needs to be at least ¼ inch. That’s about the length of a grain of rice. Generally, it takes about 2 weeks of not shaving (bikini area) for hair to grow to this length. Hair that is shorter is not long enough to get “stuck” in the wax and be pulled out. If there’s any question, we can always try a test strip as some people can be waxed at less than ¼ inch.

Is There Anything I Can Do To Make Waxing Hurt Less?

Some clients find that taking an ibuprofen before their treatment helps a little. Also, allowing the hair to grow a little longer than the required ¼ inch can help a little by reducing the amount of times we need to go over the area. Once you’ve begun waxing, the one thing you can do to reduce the pain is to STAY ON SCHEDULE with your appointments.

Is Waxing Safe For Sensitive Skin?

At Blue Water Spa, we only utilize top-quality materials designed to avoid irritating sensitive skin. We use a cream-based natural wax safe for delicate and sensitive skin types. After the waxing procedure, we use an after-waxing oil that relaxes, calms, and removes any leftover wax residue.

Does Body Waxing Cause Hair to Regrow Thicker?

No. This is a complete myth. Waxing, in fact, is known to actually stop hair growth all together in some cases. It is important to keep in mind though that waxing should be used as a temporary hair removal method as the slowing or stopping of hair growth takes many years of consistent waxing.

TESTIMONIALS

“Bringing my teenage son who is experiencing severe acne. The spa is incredibly inviting and the esthetician Tatiana who is working with him is super attentive. The fact that my son, who was resistant to even using a toner at home, is now asking to go back for follow up facials says it all. Wonderful place.”
