Smooth Skin Starts with a Schedule

Summer is just around the corner, which can only mean one thing: it’s Brazilian and bikini wax season at Urban Betty. 👙

So, as we get closer to sunny days lounging at Barton Springs, we want to share something many clients don’t realize: your best waxing results usually happen after your third appointment.

What makes the third time a charm? Let us explain … 

Your hair grows in cycles,  which means in addition to the hair you see on the surface, there are hairs growing beneath the skin that haven’t popped out d yet. So during your first wax, only 80–90% of the visible hair is removed, as some hairs may be too short or delicate to wax without breaking.

Because of this, you’ll likely notice regrowth fairly quickly after your first appointment. At your second wax, we remove most of that new growth, along with the regrowth from your first treatment.

By the third wax,  we’re now able to wax hair at multiple growth cycles. This is when many clients notice the best results, and hair grows back softer, finer, and less dense. Plus, now we can get to the root of it (excuse the pun!) and remove 90–100% of the hair for longer-lasting results. 💅

And speaking of results, to ensure optimal smoothness and comfort during and after your wax, here are some Dos and Please Don’ts! 

✔️ DO

  • Let your hair grow to the right length. Aim for about ¼ inch – roughly the length of a grain of rice. (I know, I know, not ideal when it’s dress weather, but I promise the results are worth it!)
  • Hydrate your skin. Fun fact: well-moisturized skin allows hair to release more easily during waxing.
  • Wear loose, breathable clothing to your appointment. Especially for bikini or Brazilian services, tight clothing can irritate afterward.
  • Take a warm shower beforehand. Clean skin makes for the best waxing results. Just skip heavy lotions or oils afterward.
  • Stay consistent with your waxing schedule. Most clients see the best results when waxing every 4–6 weeks.

❌ DON’T

  • Don’t shave between wax appointments. Shaving disrupts the hair growth cycle and makes waxing less effective.
  • Don’t exfoliate the day of your wax. This can make the skin more sensitive and prone to irritation.
  • Don’t apply lotions, oils, or self-tanner before your appointment. Wax needs clean, product-free skin to adhere properly.
  • Don’t schedule your wax right before intense workouts, saunas, or swimming. Your pores will be open and more sensitive.
  • Don’t pick or tweeze ingrown hairs. This can cause irritation or even infection, your esthetician can help guide you on proper treatment for these troublesome strays!
  • Don’t panic about regrowth after your first wax. Remember: waxing works best over multiple sessions as hair cycles start to sync, so be patient!
