Does waxing hurt?

Waxing can be an intense sensation for some depending an individuals pain tolerance. Your first wax will generally be the most sensitive and will get easier with each consistent wax. At Sage Wax Lounge, we use a proprietary soft waxing method that makes waxing more comfortable and quick, too!

How long does my hair need to be?

If it is your first time waxing, we recommend having at least 3-4 weeks of hair growth after any grooming done at home. This will ensure your smoothest first wax! If you wax regularly, 4-6 weeks of hair growth is preferred.

What is the weight capacity of our waxing table?

Our waxing table has a maximum weight capacity is 500lbs.

How should I prepare for my service?

For waxing services:

Once you have enough hair growth, book an appointment and get ready for a game changing experience!

If you are planning you wax for a trip or event, you should book your wax at least 3-5 days prior to allow for any skin irritation to reduce.

Getting a spray tan? Book your tan at least 2 days after your wax (NOT BEFORE-it will wax off) to avoid any issues.

We recommend avoiding caffeine and alcohol prior to your appointment to reduce sensitivity.

Staying hydrated and moisturized in the days leading up to your wax will help your skin feel more comfortable, as well. Wear loose clothing (natural fabrics are best) to your appointment.

Avoid sun exposure, saunas, spas, swimming, excessive sweating, exercise and sex for ~24 hours after your wax.

For brow and lash services:

A patch test is require at least 24 hrs before lash tinting (bookable online) and will be valid for 6 months.

Avoid sun exposure, sweat, water and make up for at least 24 hours after your lamination or tint/lift.
