Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Half Arms.

Most Half Arms sessions take 20–30 minutes, depending on hair density and skin sensitivity. Initial appointments may be slightly longer for consultation and skin prep. Our technicians work efficiently to minimize discomfort while ensuring thorough, even hair removal and clean results.

Some redness or sensitivity is normal immediately after waxing, but reactions are usually mild and short-lived. We perform skin assessments, use gentle techniques, and apply soothing aftercare to reduce irritation. Avoid sun exposure and exfoliate gently to help skin recover quickly.

Most clients see regrowth within four to six weeks, though individual hair cycles, hormones, and genetics influence timing. Regular waxing can weaken follicles over time, leading to finer, sparser regrowth. We recommend scheduling every 4–6 weeks for consistent smoothness.

Yes, with proper care. We conduct a pre-treatment assessment and can perform a patch test. Using gentle formulas and expert techniques reduces irritation. If waxing isn't advisable, our team will recommend alternatives like trimming or sugaring for gentler hair removal.

We advise avoiding shaving between waxing sessions because it alters hair length and can make future waxing less effective. If you must shave, allow at least 2–3 weeks for re-growth to about 2–4 mm before your next appointment for optimal results.

Arrive with clean, dry skin free of oils or heavy lotions. Exfoliate gently 24–48 hours prior and avoid sun exposure or active retinoids for several days. Inform us about medications or skin conditions so we can adjust technique for safety and comfort.
