The benefit from waxing over shaving is longer lasting results as hair is removed from the hair follicle rather than being cut at the skin level.

Whereas you may need to shave every day or every other day, hair removal by waxing can last up to a few weeks.

Simple answer. No. Waxing over shaving will decrease the return growth rate because hair is pulled out from the follicle, but it won't change the volume or inhibit hair growth permanently.

It's a good idea to gently exfoliate your skin that is to be waxed with a mild scrub or loofah about 1-2 days prior to your service. Do not do this the day of your service. You don't want irritated skin right before a wax session.

Exfoliating a few days ahead will remove dead skin cells around the hair follicles and loosen ingrown hairs--thereby improving the results of your wax service whether it be a full body or any waxing service.

If you have sensitive skin discuss with your stylist the best products to use before and after your wax service to keep your skin glowing while enjoying the hair free results.
