Question 1

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

My cozy studio is located in my home in the SW community of Shawnessy. Because I am a home-based business, my address is not publicly available, but once you book, I will provide you with my address and directions if you need them!

Question 2

Does waxing hurt?

Accepted Answer

I'm not going to fib and say waxing is 100% discomfort-free, but what I can say with absolute certainty is that the right wax in the hands of a fabulous waxer can give you amazing results with the ouch-factor great reduced. Plus, any discomfort associated with waxing is fleeting. If you haven’t waxed before or are a long time between wax appointments, the ouch-factor is increased. If you wax on schedule (approximately every 4-5 weeks) any discomfort is greatly diminished. Some clients say popping an ibuprofen 20-40 minutes before their appointment makes all the difference. I with leave it with you to experiment with that!

Question 3

Can I use numbing cream before my appointment?

Accepted Answer

I'd prefer that you didn’t, since it may affect the integrity of the wax. More importantly, it won’t have much of an effect, since I use a wax that doesn’t stick to your skin. So, there isn’t any feeling of a Band-Aid being ripped off your skin!

Question 4

Do I need to do anything to prepare for my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Not a lot! You just need to grow your hair out for 3-4 weeks (four weeks is best) from your last wax or shave. If your hair is longer than 4 weeks growth you do NOT need to trim, I will trim it to the perfect length for you, since waxing longer hair can hurt more and prevent the wax from interfacing properly with the hair and skin. There is no extra charge for trimming! To help you get the best results, well-hydrated and moisturized skin is a must. Please stay out of the sun 48 hours prior to your appointment. I can’t wax your sunburnt skin!

Question 5

How long does my hair have to be?

Accepted Answer

Your hair needs to be 5mm or ¼ of an inch long. Some of your hair will be the proper length in about 10 days, but it takes 3 to 4 weeks for the majority of your hair to be wax ready. If you wax without letting your hair grow out the proper amount of time, you may get more breakage and ingrown hairs, and your wax will not last as long. There isn’t a sticky substance out there (wax or sugar) that will get you great results without 3 to 4 weeks of growth — and I want you to have great results! For facial hair and underarms, the hair needs to grow a minimum of 2 weeks.

Question 6

What exactly is a Brazilian wax at LuLu’s?

Accepted Answer

At LuLu’s, a Brazilian is EVERYTHING gone from your belly button (including your treasure trail) all the way around to your tail bone. You can decide if you would like to leave a strip at the very top or not.

Question 7

How long does it take to get a Brazilian wax?

Accepted Answer

I pride myself on efficiency. Most Brazilian bikini wax services take less than 20 minutes from start to finish. I book extra time for new clients.

Question 8

What kind of wax do you use?

Accepted Answer

I use an exceptional hard wax that is formulated without perfumes, colouring agents, pine rosin or preservatives. It’s melts at an ultra low temperature and is extremely gentle on the skin. Hard wax shrink wraps the hair and while it sets, it releases from your skin, so there’s no Band-Aid ripping feeling when the wax is removed. It’s the bee’s knees of wax!

Question 9

What’s the difference between waxing and shaving?

Accepted Answer

You can be a slave to the razor, shave several times per week and deal with cranky stubble in between —  OR you can get smooth, silky skin from waxing. Waxing removes hair from the root, so as a result, hair grows in softer and looks lighter in colour because it is finer. With waxing you can wax once a month and be done! Waxing also exfoliates the skin so it is left feeling silky soft. That means no stubble. YAY! Say it with me: “YAY! NO STUBBLE!”

Question 10

I’ve always gotten nasty ingrown hair from shaving. Will I get them from waxing too?

Accepted Answer

You might. We won’t know until you’ve had a few wax appointments. If you end up with ingrown hair from waxing, I have some fabulous products to recommend.

Question 11

How long will I be fuzz-free?

Accepted Answer

That depends. For most it’s 2 to 3 weeks. If you wax on schedule (every 4 to 5 weeks) your regrowth will be finer and softer between appointments and you will be noticeably less fuzzy.

Question 12

How do I take care of my freshly waxed skin?

Accepted Answer

I will give you all the information you need at your waxing appointment.

Question 13

Who will be waxing me?

Accepted Answer

Me, Dallas (aka LuLu!). I am mad-crazy about consistency and making all of my clients feel comfortable, so you can expect the same great experience every time.

Question 14

Can I wax while I have my period?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! It’s perfectly acceptable to wax while you have your period. All you need to do is tuck the string of your tampon inside.
