Frequently Asked Questions

Appointments are highly recommended to secure your preferred date and time. Walk-ins are welcome when availability allows, but same-day availability is not guaranteed. For the best experience, we recommend booking online in advance. 

 For your first Brazilian wax, we recommend allowing at least 3 weeks of hair growth before your appointment. Avoid shaving, trimming, or using hair-removal creams so the hair is long enough for the wax to grip effectively. 

Yes! Waxology101 offers professional Brazilian waxing for men as well as full-body waxing services in a comfortable, respectful, and judgment-free environment.

Our Houston wax specialists are experienced in providing waxing services for both men and women, with a focus on comfort, cleanliness, and consistent results.

For the best results, we recommend allowing at least 3 weeks of hair growth before your appointment and following the same pre- and post-wax care guidelines listed throughout our FAQs.

•  Let your hair grow for at least 3 weeks.
• Shower beforehand and arrive with clean, dry skin.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
• Limit caffeine and alcohol before your appointment if they make you more sensitive.
• Stay hydrated.
• If possible, avoid scheduling during the few days when you are most sensitive during your cycle.

 A Brazilian wax can feel some discomfort, especially during your first appointment, but the discomfort is usually brief. Sensitivity varies based on hair growth, skin sensitivity, your cycle, and how consistently you wax. Staying on a regular 4–6 week schedule can help future appointments feel more manageable. 

Yes! You can still receive a Brazilian wax while on your menstrual cycle. We simply ask that you wear a fresh tampon or menstrual cup during your appointment.

Keep in mind that some clients may feel more sensitive during their period and in the few days leading up to it. If you know you are especially sensitive or have a heavier flow, you may prefer to schedule your Brazilian wax for another time in your cycle.

Our regular Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy still applies to appointments scheduled during your menstrual cycle.

Yes! In most cases, you can continue getting a Brazilian wax throughout pregnancy unless your healthcare provider has advised you otherwise.

If you plan to wax during pregnancy, staying consistent from the earlier stages can help you become familiar with the service and maintain a regular waxing routine. Keep in mind that pregnancy can make the skin more sensitive, especially later in pregnancy, so your wax may feel a little different than usual.

After giving birth, we recommend waiting until you have healed and received clearance from your healthcare provider before scheduling your next Brazilian wax, particularly after a C-section, tearing, stitches, or other complications.

Proper aftercare helps keep freshly waxed skin hydrated, smooth, and less prone to irritation or ingrown hairs. Always use products on clean, dry skin and follow the directions on the product label.

Moisturize Daily

Ingrown Hair Potion
Apply daily to clean skin after your wax. If you exfoliate that day, apply after exfoliating.

Zandi Land Pure Deck Polish
Apply daily to clean skin to help keep the area moisturized and smooth. If exfoliating, apply after exfoliation.

Exfoliate every other day

Zandi Land Pure Deck Scrub
Begin about 2 days after your wax. Gently massage onto the skin using circular motions in the shower or as directed. Discontinue about 2 days before your next wax.

PFB Ultra
Begin about 3 days after your wax. Apply one light pass over the area and allow it to dry completely. Discontinue about 3 days before your next wax.
Do not use during pregnancy unless approved by your healthcare provider.

Glycolic & Retinol Pads
Begin about 2 days after your wax. Gently swipe over the area as directed. Discontinue about 2 days before your next wax.
Do not use during pregnancy unless approved by your healthcare provider.

Agent 88 Spray

 Spritz a light amount onto the desired area and allow it to dry. Agent 88 contains salicylic acid and lactic acid, which help exfoliate the skin, unclog pores, and help prevent ingrown hairs.

Because Agent 88 is an exfoliating treatment, do not use it on the same day as PFB Ultra, glycolic/retinol pads, or abrasive scrubs. Avoid over-exfoliating the area.

Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing, allergic to aspirin, or if the skin is irritated or broken.

Exfoliating Cloth
Use gently in the shower with circular motions, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, especially on freshly waxed skin.

Important:
Do not use PFB Ultra, glycolic/retinol pads, Agent 88, or Zandi Land Scrub together on the same day unless specifically directed. These products exfoliate the skin, and over-exfoliating can cause dryness, sensitivity, or irritation.

Use one exfoliating method at a time and keep the skin moisturized between exfoliation days.

Certain medications and skincare products can make the skin more sensitive, fragile, or prone to lifting during waxing. For your safety, please let your Waxology101 wax specialist know about any prescription medications, topical treatments, or recent skin procedures before your appointment.

Isotretinoin/Accutane:
Waxing should not be performed while taking oral isotretinoin (Accutane or similar medications). If you have recently stopped taking isotretinoin, please obtain clearance from your prescribing healthcare provider before scheduling a wax.

Retinoids & prescription acne treatments:
Products containing tretinoin, Retin-A, adapalene/Differin, tazarotene/Tazorac, retinol, or similar exfoliating acne treatments can increase skin sensitivity and the risk of skin lifting, particularly with facial waxing. Please tell us what you are using before your appointment. Do not stop a prescribed medication unless your healthcare provider advises you to do so.

Exfoliating skincare:
Avoid strong exfoliating products such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, AHAs/BHAs, exfoliating peels, and aggressive scrubs on the area being waxed for several days beforehand.

Recent facial treatments:
If you have recently received a chemical peel, laser treatment, microneedling, microdermabrasion, or other professional exfoliating treatment, please check with your skincare provider before waxing. Additional healing time may be needed.

Sunburn or irritated skin:
We cannot wax over sunburned, broken, inflamed, or irritated skin. Please wait until the skin has fully healed before scheduling your waxing appointment.

Medications that affect the skin:
Antibiotics, steroids, acne medications, and other prescriptions can sometimes increase skin sensitivity. Please disclose any current medications to your wax specialist and consult the prescribing provider if you are unsure whether waxing is appropriate.
