Underarm Waxing in Toronto West
Underarm waxing removes hair from the root for smooth, stubble-free skin that lasts 3 to 4 weeks. At WaxMe Studio in Toronto West, we use Bushbalm hard wax — a Canadian-made formula that grips the hair without pulling on the thin, sensitive skin in the underarm area.
The appointment takes 15 to 20 minutes and the results last far longer than shaving.
Why Wax Your Underarms Instead of Shaving?
Shaving cuts hair at the surface, leaving behind a blunt edge that looks and feels stubby within days. Waxing removes hair from the root, which means:
3 to 4 weeks of smooth skin, not 2 to 3 days
Hair grows back softer and finer with regular waxing
No razor burn, no stubble, no daily maintenance
Natural exfoliation — waxing lifts dead skin cells, leaving underarm skin smoother overall
What to Expect
Hard wax is applied to the underarm area and removed in sections. The skin here is thin and the hair is often coarser than leg or arm hair, which means the sensation is sharper than leg waxing but quicker. Most clients are surprised at how fast the appointment goes.
Prep and Aftercare
Before:
Let hair grow to at least 1/4 inch — roughly 2 to 3 weeks from a fresh shave
Arrive with clean, dry underarms — skip deodorant and antiperspirant on the day of your appointment
Avoid anti-perspirant products with aluminum in the 24 hours before
After:
Skip deodorant and antiperspirant for 24 hours after waxing
Avoid tight-fitting tops and synthetic fabrics that day
Skip the gym and any activity that causes heavy sweating for 24 hours
If you develop any redness, a gentle soothing oil (jojoba or tea tree) will help calm the skin
How Often Should You Get Your Underarms Waxed?
Every 3 to 4 weeks. The underarm area tends to have faster regrowth than bikini or leg hair, so some clients prefer coming in every 3 weeks to stay consistently smooth.
