At Shortpump Threading & Wax Studio, we do things differently. We believe waxing is not just a service — it’s a consultation-driven, personalized experience.
That’s why:
- We discuss your needs first and understand the work involved.
- We then share transparent pricing upfront — no surprises once the session begins.
- We don’t “sell” services on a flat menu. Instead, we tailor the session to your body, your hair type, and your comfort.
- We only begin once our price and your expectations converge.
This way, you always know you’re paying fairly for the exact care, effort, and time your session requires. And as your visits continue and your hair becomes finer, you’ll notice your charges decrease too — because less work always means less cost.
At Shortpump Threading & Wax Studio in Richmond, we believe every client deserves a personalized, fair, and honest service. Unlike chain salons with one-size-fits-all menus, we don’t use fixed pricing for body waxing. Here’s why:
1. Hair Growth & Density
Every client’s hair is different in thickness, coarseness, and density.
- Finer hair may take just 15 minutes to wax.
- Coarser or denser hair could take 30–40 minutes.
👉 More time and more strips naturally mean more effort.
2. Body Area Size & Coverage
Bodies aren’t identical—neither are the areas we wax.
- Larger backs, broader chests, or more detailed bikini wax areas require additional work.
👉 Bigger or more complex areas mean more product and more time.
3. Skin Sensitivity & Technique
Sensitive skin needs slower, gentler techniques and soothing aftercare. Sometimes, multiple passes are required for safety.
👉 This ensures comfort and skin health, but also takes more care and product.
4. Time Investment
Waxing is not only about the area—it’s about the time it takes for your unique body and hair type.
👉 A client who needs an hour of work will be charged differently than one who needs only 20 minutes.
5. Product & Consumable Use
We use premium waxes (sugar wax, hard wax, hypoallergenic wax) for best results. More hair = more strips, beads, gloves, and soothing lotions.
👉 Our pricing reflects actual product use.
6. Industry Standard for Customization
We offer “starting at” prices to keep things flexible and fair.
👉 That way, lighter work isn’t overcharged, and heavier work isn’t undercharged.
Our Commitment to You
Unlike salons with rigid menus, we charge based on effort, work, and your personal needs.
- With continuous visits, hair becomes finer and growth slows down.
And yes—we recognize that! Less work = lower charges.
At Shortpump, our promise is highly personalized service at a fair price—because waxing is about your comfort, your results, and your unique body.
