Stripped’s ICONIC Cream Wax has a low melting temperature so it’s super safe and gentle on the skin. It removes hair quickly with the use of cotton strips.Hardwax is applied and removed after it has hardened and shrink-wrapped around the hair shaft. It’s recommended for sensitive skin and/or coarse hair and can only be applied to smaller, delicate areas such as the face or bikini area.

We designed the First-Time Brazilian service just for you! No need to be nervous. Just tell your Waxer it's your first time and they'll walk you through the entire process step by step.

Keep in mind, since it's your first time waxing, your hair follicles will be deeply rooted which can often take up to 2-3 waxing cycles for super smooth results.

Not at all. All of our services simply require you to lay on either your front or back.

Absolutely. Keep in mind getting waxed right before or during your period may be more uncomfortable than usual as your hormones and sensitivities are kicking in. The best time for down-there waxing is mid-cycle.

If you are visiting our Wax Bars for a service, we ask that you please wear a fresh tampon.

In order to keep our pricing consistent, we charge by the service area instead of the amount of hair.

• You may experience some redness after waxing which is totally normal and usually subsides within 24-48 hours. If it's your first time waxing and/or have coarse hair, you may experience more irritation than usual due to the hair follicles being deeply rooted. Try Calm Down Relief Cream
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing that won't rub against and/or irritate the skin.
• Keep your freshly waxed pores clean for at least 24 hours. Any sweat and/or bacteria that enters the pores may cause an adverse reaction. Be sure to avoid heat related activities (ie. hot yoga, steam rooms, tanning), excessive exercise/sweating, swimming in chlorinated pools, foot soaks (for lower leg waxes).
• Don’t shave or trim. You'll have the urge to pick up the razor, but sticking to regular, consistent waxing will weaken the hair follicles, resulting in slower regrowth that is often softer and more fine.
• Stay on a consistent waxing schedule (ideally, every 5-6 weeks). Hair grows in different cycles, so it’s best to allow enough time for the hair to fully grow out before waxing again. This will ultimately lead to smoother results, for longer.

The key to preventing ingrowns is EXFOLIATING!

Start exfoliating 2 days after your wax and every day thereafter. Exfoliating regularly will remove any dead skin build-up which may be blocking the pores and preventing new hair growth. Try Buff-Stuff Exfoliating Cloth for a gentle and effective daily exfoliator.

For stubborn ingrown hairs and bumps, use a spot treatment that will work to deeply exfoliate the pores. Try Smooth Roller Ingrown Hair Treatment

It's also important to moisturize daily, to ensure the skin is soft and hairs can break through the skin's surface.

For best results, hair should be at least 1/4" long (3 weeks since last wax or 4 weeks since last shave). Hair that’s too short may cause breakage, leaving you with unwanted stubble.

We recommend waxing every 5-6 weeks. Hair grows in different cycles, so it’s best to allow enough time for the hair to fully grow out before waxing again. This will ultimately lead to smoother results, for longer.

We don't recommend trimming before a wax. Trimming may result in the hair being too short. It also encourages more hair growth, the opposite of what we want!

The recommended time to wax before any big event (ie. wedding, anniversary, vacation) is 2-3 days. This will allow any redness or irritation to pass.

However, if this is your first time waxing, we strongly recommend completing at least 1 full waxing cycle to assess skin sensitivity, hair type and possible skin reactions. We would hate to see you head to your big day with irritated skin.

We don't recommend waxing on skin that has been exposed to heat and/or sun for at least 24 hours. We don't want to add any irritation to already irritated skin (especially sunburnt skin!).

It’s best to avoid friction and/or excessive sweat immediately after waxing as it may cause irritation and adverse reactions to your freshly waxed pores.
