I'm a new client. What should I know?

Your first visit sets the standard for every visit after.
What should I do to prepare for my appointment?
Arrive with a clean face if possible.
For waxing services, hair should be at least a quarter inch long for best results.

Why Wax N' Blush for waxing?
We use a vegan hard wax. This formula allows a cleaner removal, more precise, and significantly more comfortable than strip wax. All skin types. Including sensitive.
What wax do you use?
Applied warm and removed once set, our vegan hard wax adheres to the hair rather than the skin. Gentler than strip wax and effective on all skin types, including sensitive skin.Not recommended for: diabetic clients, those currently using prescription Retinoid, Retin-A, or Accutane, or anyone who has had recent laser treatment. If you've paused Retinoid use for two weeks prior to your visit, waxing is safe.Have a specific skin concern? Mention it when you book. We'll make sure you're prepared.
Is waxing safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. We use a vegan hard wax specifically because it adheres to the hair, not the skin. Significantly gentler than strip wax and suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. If you have specific concerns, add a note when you book. We'll take it from there.
What is clean beauty?
Skincare and treatments that avoid ingredients linked to skin irritation and hormonal disruption: parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, and harsh chemicals. At Wax N' Blush, every product and treatment has been personally researched and tested by Larissa. Clean ingredients are the only standard we work to.That standard extends to who we source from. Botnia grows their botanicals on their own microfarm and ships in fully plastic-free, compostable packaging. Apoterra is certified carbon negative and plastic negative. They remove five times more plastic from the environment than they use. These are the brands we choose. On purpose.
Are your products cruelty-free?
Yes. Every product in the boutique is cruelty-free, and our wax is vegan.
Do you offer a brow and lash combo?
Yes, three of them.The Perfect Eyes Bundle is a lash lift and lash tint together. The Great Brows Bundle is eyebrow lamination, wax and tint. The Beauty Bundle is everything, brows and lashes in one appointment, and it is our most popular.All three cost less than booking the services separately and all three are done in a single visit. Prices and durations are on our services page.
