What type of wax does WaxMe Studio use?

WaxMe Studio uses Bushbalm hard wax, a premium wax made in Canada and formulated for sensitive skin. Hard wax grips the hair, not the skin, making it gentler and more comfortable than traditional strip wax — especially for sensitive areas like the bikini line and face.

Waxing does sting, but modern hard wax is significantly more comfortable than traditional strip wax. The sensation is a brief, sharp sting that fades quickly. Most clients find the second and third appointments much easier as the skin adjusts and hair grows back finer. For sensitive areas like the upper lip, a numbing cream applied 30 minutes before can help.

How long does a wax last?

Most clients stay smooth for 2 to 3 weeks and see minimal regrowth for up to 4 to 6 weeks. We recommend coming in monthly for maintenance. With regular waxing, hair typically grows back finer and sparser over time.

How long does hair need to be before a wax appointment?

Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long — roughly the size of a grain of rice. This gives the wax enough to grip. If you have been shaving, stop at least 2 weeks before your first appointment to allow enough regrowth.

How do I prepare for a wax appointment?

For the best results: gently exfoliate the area 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells. Arrive with clean, dry skin and skip lotions, oils, deodorant, and active skincare ingredients (retinols, AHAs) on the area being waxed. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Avoid tanning the area for 24 hours before.

Can I get a wax while on my period?

Yes. Let your esthetician know ahead of your appointment so they can be mindful of any extra sensitivity. Skin can be more sensitive during menstruation, so the service may be slightly more uncomfortable, but it is completely safe to wax during your period.

What is the best aftercare for waxing?

After waxing, change into clean, breathable cotton clothing and avoid heat, friction, and heavy sweating for 24 hours. Skip workouts, hot tubs, saunas, and sexual activity for the rest of the day. Avoid scented products, retinols, and AHAs on the waxed area for 48 hours. Begin gentle exfoliation 48 to 72 hours after your appointment to prevent ingrown hairs, and apply a lightweight oil such as jojoba or copaiba to keep skin calm between visits.

What is the benefit of waxing over shaving?

Waxing removes hair from the root, which means results last 4 to 6 weeks compared to a few days with shaving. With regular waxing, hair grows back finer and sparser over time. Every wax also gently exfoliates the skin, leaving it smooth and glowing. Over time, waxing becomes more comfortable as hair becomes finer and easier to remove.

Where is WaxMe Studio located?

WaxMe Studio is a premium waxing studio located in Toronto West, serving clients in Etobicoke, Bloor West Village, Roncesvalles, Parkdale, and Swansea. Appointments can be booked online at waxme.studio.

What is the difference between a Brazilian wax and a bikini wax?

A bikini wax removes hair outside the panty line only. A Brazilian wax removes all pubic hair — front, back, and everything in between. You can choose to go fully bare or leave a small strip at the front. If you are unsure which service is right for you, your esthetician at WaxMe Studio will walk you through the options before your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

At WaxMe.Studio, we use only the best products. For our hard wax services, we use Bushbalm Wax made in Canada.

We also use a mixture of aftercare products. Our current favourites include ingredients such as:
- Jojoba Oil: Rich in fatty acids and vitamins to soothe irritation.
- Tea Tree Oil: Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory to reduce redness.
- Copaiba Oil: A natural anti-inflammatory agent.
This isn’t your mama’s wax anymore. We now have better products and better techniques. However, waxing does sting. You can use numbing cream on any skin that might be a bit more sensitive like the upper lip area.
Four reasons to wax (and love it):
- Stay smooth longer: Get that fresh, touchably-soft feel for 4–6 weeks—not days.
- Softer, finer regrowth: With regular waxing, hair often comes back lighter, sparser, and less noticeable over time.
- It gets easier every visit: Keep a consistent schedule and waxing typically feels quicker and more comfortable (yes, even less painful).
- Built-in exfoliation: Every wax lifts away dead skin cells, leaving skin extra smooth and glowing.
Absolutely. Just let us know ahead so that we can be aware of any sensitive spots.
For the smoothest results (and the most comfortable wax), do this:
- Clean + gently exfoliate up to 24 hours before your appointment to help lift away dead skin and free any trapped hairs.
- Come in with clean, dry skin. Skip lotions, oils, deodorant, and active skincare ingredients on the area being waxed—they can create a barrier and make waxing less effective.
  
  Of course we will clean the area for you but try not to apply any products before your appointment. Especially scents, these can contain chemicals that make the skin more sensitive.
Most of our clients don’t see any growth for 2 -3 weeks. We recommend coming in monthly for maintenance.
Nooo!
A few aftercare must-dos we strongly recommend:
- Change into clean, breathable clothing as soon as you get home. This keeps the area fresh and helps prevent irritation.
- Avoid heat + friction for the rest of the day. Skip workouts, heavy sweating, lots of movement, and potentially sexual activity—friction can lead to redness, bumps, and extra sensitivity.
- Finish with the right aftercare product for your skin. A lightweight oil and/or gentle exfoliant helps prevent ingrown hairs, keeps skin smooth, and combats dryness between appointments.
