Before Your Visit

About ¼ inch, roughly the length of a grain of rice. That’s usually 2–3 weeks of growth after shaving. Shorter than that and the wax can’t grip; much longer is fine, and Mikala may trim it first.

  • Skip exfoliating scrubs and acids for 24–48 hours before.
  • Pause retinol and retinoids (like Retin-A or Differin) about 5–7 days before a face or brow wax.
  • Avoid sunburn, tanning, and self-tanner right before.
  • Come clean and skip heavy lotions or oils on the area that day.

Please tell Mikala when you book if you use Accutane, prescription retinoids, or other prescription skin medications, or if the area is sunburned, irritated, or broken. Some of these mean waxing has to wait, and she’ll let you know.

Something loose and comfortable, especially for bikini or leg services, so nothing rubs freshly waxed skin on the way home.

Yes. For bikini services, just use a tampon or cup. Skin can be a little more sensitive that week, so some people prefer to book around it.

First-Timers

Honestly? A quick sting that fades fast. It gets easier with regular visits as hair grows back finer. A few tips: go easy on caffeine beforehand, breathe out as the wax comes off, and if it’s okay for you, some clients take an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before.

A private room, a professional who does this every day, and no judgment. Mikala will walk you through each step, work quickly, and check in with you along the way. Nervous is normal; just tell her it’s your first time.

Most visits take 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the service. Each service’s time is listed on the menu.

Aftercare

For the first 24–48 hours, skip:

  • Hot tubs, saunas, and very hot showers or baths
  • Intense workouts and heavy sweating
  • Sun, tanning beds, and self-tanner
  • Tight clothing over the area
  • Fragranced lotions and touching the area

Yes. A little redness or small bumps can show up for a few hours, sometimes up to a day. A cool compress helps. If irritation lasts longer than that, call or text Mikala at 405-957-0900.

After the first 48 hours, gently exfoliate the area 2–3 times a week and moisturize daily. Loose clothing helps too.

Usually 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the area and your hair. Most clients rebook every 4–6 weeks; brows often every 3–4. Staying on schedule means finer regrowth, quicker visits, and less sting.
