WAXING
FACIALS & WRAPS
OUR POLICIES
HOW LONG SHOULD MY HAIR BE FOR A WAX?
For the best results, we recommend allowing the hair to grow to approximately ¼ inch so the wax can properly grip the hair and remove it from the root.
WHAT IS WAXING?
Waxing is a method of hair removal that removes unwanted hair from the root. At Nómad Skyn, we use hard wax designed to effectively grip the hair while helping create a more comfortable experience for the skin.
Because the hair is removed from the root, waxing can help keep the skin feeling smoother for longer between appointments.

SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY WAX?
No complicated preparation is necessary. Allow the hair to grow to the appropriate length and arrive on time for your scheduled appointment. If you are using prescription skincare, retinoids, exfoliating products, or have recently received another skin treatment, please let your provider know.
WILL IT HURT MY FIRST TIME?
Everyone's sensitivity and tolerance are different. Because waxing removes hair from the root, some temporary discomfort is normal. Our licensed Wax Specialists will work to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout your service.
I'M PREGNANT. CAN I STILL GET A WAX?
Waxing may still be possible during pregnancy. Hormonal changes can make the skin more sensitive, so you may experience increased sensitivity during your service.
If you are in the later stages of pregnancy or have any medical concerns, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider first.

I'M ON MY PERIOD. CAN I STILL GET A WAX?
Yes. You can still receive a wax during your period. Please keep in mind that the area may be more sensitive during this time.
For intimate waxing services, appropriate menstrual protection should be worn during the appointment.

CAN I GET A WAX AFTER A FACIAL?
It depends on the type of facial or skin treatment you received. Treatments involving stronger exfoliation, resurfacing, or active ingredients may require additional time before waxing.
Please tell your provider about any recent treatments so they can help determine the safest timing for your service.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BIKINI LINE, BIKINI FULL, AND BRAZILIAN?
Bikini Line: Removes hair outside the traditional bikini or underwear line for a clean, maintained look.
Bikini Full: Removes more hair from the front while allowing you to choose how much you would like to leave.
Brazilian: Removes hair from the front through the back, with the option to leave a strip or triangle in front if preferred.

CAN I GET A WAX AFTER A TAN?
We recommend allowing appropriate time between waxing and tanning because freshly waxed skin may be more sensitive. If you plan to be in the sun after waxing, protect the area appropriately and use broad-spectrum sunscreen.
HOW LONG WILL MY WAX LAST?
Most guests enjoy results for approximately 3–4 weeks, although individual hair-growth cycles vary. Consistent appointments and proper aftercare can help maintain smoother-looking results between visits.
CAN I GET A WAX WITH SUNBURN?
We will not wax sunburned, irritated, or otherwise compromised skin. Once your skin has completely recovered, we would be happy to welcome you back.
CAN I GET A WAX WHILE ON MEDICATION?
Certain medications and topical products can increase skin sensitivity. Please let your provider know about prescription medications, retinoids, exfoliating products, or recent changes to your skincare routine before waxing.
If you are unsure whether a medication is compatible with waxing, please consult your prescribing healthcare provider before your appointment.

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH FACIAL IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Every client's skin is different. Your provider will consider your current skin condition, concerns, goals, lifestyle, and treatment history to help recommend the facial or level of care that best fits your needs.
For clients looking for a more progressive or comprehensive approach, your provider may also recommend a Nómad Method Treatment Journey.
