Frequently Asked Questions

General Concerns

Will it be awkward?

Not at all. I treat every session with the same level of care and discretion as a massage therapist or a barber. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and leave feeling confident.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Please shower shortly before your appointment. Avoid applying any heavy oils, thick creams, or colognes.

What about "natural" physical reactions?

Please don't be embarrassed. It is completely normal that the body can have involuntary responses to touch or temperature. It is handled with total professionalism.

Can I bring a friend?

Appointments are private and intended for the person receiving the service. Please attend alone. If you require a support person or an accommodation, contact me before booking so we can discuss your needs.

Should I mention medications or skin concerns before my appointment?

Please mention any skin concerns, allergies, recent treatments, or medications that may affect your chosen service. You can contact me before booking if you’re unsure whether a treatment is suitable.

I cannot provide medical advice or recommend changes to medication. Questions about medication or a medical condition should be directed to your doctor or pharmacist.

What if I feel uncomfortable during my appointment?

Your comfort matters throughout the appointment. Before we begin, we’ll discuss the treatment and the areas involved. You can ask questions, request an adjustment, or stop the service at any time.

What is the minimum age for an appointment?

All services are available to adults aged 18 and over. We do not accept appointments for minors, including those accompanied by a parent or guardian.

What forms of payment do you accept?

You can pay for your appointment in person with either cash or with credit or debit.

Shaving/Trimming/Waxing

Does it hurt?

Trimming/Shaving: Completely painless.
Waxing: You’ll feel a quick "sting" that lasts only a few seconds. I use high-quality sugar wax designed for sensitive skin to minimize discomfort. Most clients find that it gets significantly easier with every session.

How long should the hair be before my appointment?

If you are waxing, the hair should be about the length of a grain of rice (approx. half an inch or 1 to 2 cm). Please do not shave the area right before your appointment.

What should I do if I experience a skin reaction or redness after the treatment?

A mild histamine reaction (small red bumps or a burning sensation) is perfectly normal and usually disappears within 24 hours. You can apply a hydrocortisone cream twice a day for a few days after your appointment to soothe any irritation. If you have a history of significant skin reactions, we can perform a patch test on a small area beforehand.

I'm an athlete; when can I resume training?

It's best to wait 24 to 48 hours before intense training. Salt (from sweat) and friction on freshly waxed skin can cause folliculitis (infection of the hair follicles) or painful rashes. Schedule your appointment for a rest day!

Can I shave between waxing sessions?

Avoid doing so! Shaving makes the hair shorter and coarser, which can make your next waxing session more unpleasant. In an emergency, a quick trim with clippers is preferable to shaving.

How should I care for my skin after a treatment?

Aftercare depends on the service you receive. At your appointment, I’ll explain the care instructions relevant to your treatment and answer your questions.

Please mention any skin sensitivities before we begin. If you experience an unexpected reaction afterward, contact a qualified healthcare professional for advice.

How often should I come back?

For Shaving/Trimming: Every 3-4 weeks.
For Waxing: Every 4–6 weeks. Consistency is key; the more you do it, the thinner and lighter the hair grows back.

Massages/Bodyscrubs

What can I expect from a massage?

Massage appointments focus on relaxation and personal comfort. Before we begin, we’ll discuss your preferences, and you can ask for adjustments or pause the treatment at any time.

Will the body scrub hurt?
Not at all. I use professional-grade exfoliants (like sea salt, sugar, or crushed walnut) mixed with essential oils. I can adjust the pressure of the scrub based on your skin sensitivity—just let me know if you prefer a "deep invigorating" scrub or a "gentle" exfoliation.

What if I have a lot of body hair?
This is a common concern, but as a manscaping specialist, I am very comfortable working with body hair. However, for the best results with a body scrub, many clients choose to have a trimming service a few days prior so the scrub can reach the skin effectively.

Can I wax before a body scrub?
I recommend waiting at least a week after your waxing before your scrub. The exfoliation process can be irritating on skin that is still sensitive from waxing.

How will I feel after the treatment?
Scrub: Your skin will feel incredibly soft and "breathe" better.

Massage: You may feel deeply relaxed or slightly sleepy. It is important to drink plenty of water following a massage.

Are there any reasons I shouldn't get these treatments?
You should avoid scrubs or massage if you have a sunburn, open wounds, contagious skin conditions, or a fever. If you have chronic medical conditions (like high blood pressure or heart issues), please consult your doctor.
