Waxing at Home: How to Prepare and Care for Your Skin Afterwards

Waxing at home starts from AED 35 and covers full body, Brazilian, half and full legs, arms and more. A little preparation makes it quicker and more comfortable.

Before your appointment

  • Let hair grow to about 5 mm, roughly the length of a grain of rice, so the wax can grip.
  • Exfoliate gently the day before, not on the day.
  • Skip moisturiser or oils on the area on the day.
  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing.

During the session

The therapist cleans the area, applies wax, and removes it in quick strips, working section by section. A single area can take as little as 10 minutes, and a fuller session up to around two hours.

Aftercare for the next 24 to 48 hours

  • Avoid hot baths, saunas, gyms and swimming.
  • Skip perfumed products and tight clothes on the area.
  • Stay out of direct sun, and use sunscreen after.
  • Gently exfoliate after two or three days to prevent ingrown hairs.

All prices include 5% VAT and the AED 9 service fee, so the price you see is the price you pay.

How often

Most people rebook every three to five weeks as hair grows back finer.

Do not wax over sunburn, broken skin, moles or if you use certain acne or retinoid treatments; mention medicines when you book.

Questions people ask

Does it hurt?

Most people find it a quick sting that eases with each visit.

Can I wax on my period?

Yes, though some feel more sensitive. Book a different day if you prefer.

Is home waxing hygienic?

Yes. The therapist brings fresh supplies and a clean setup for each visit.

Should I avoid waxing at certain times?

Tell us if you are pregnant, using retinol, or have sensitive or sunburnt skin before booking.
