It is common to experience a slight regrowth within the first week or two following a hair removal treatment, as the hairs will be at different stages of their cycle (of which there are three). Due to this same reason, your first few treatments may not leave a completely smooth result, as there may be shorter hairs the wax cannot grip. We will endevour to tweeze as many of these hairs as the allocated appointment time will allow. Regular treatments every 4 - 6 weeks will allow the hairs to 'catch up' with one another and fall into the same regrowth cycle. It can take a few regular treatments for this to happen and to gain smoother results that can eventually last up to 6 weeks at a time.
