Body Waxing FAQs

How long does my hair need to be for waxing?

About ¼ inch long, which is roughly the size of a rice grain, to ensure effective removal.

Is there anything I should do to prepare for my waxing appointment?

Exfoliate the area 24-48 hours before your appointment, and avoid lotions or oils on the day of waxing.

How can I reduce pain during waxing?

Shortpump threading recommends a holistic preparation to make sure you have a seamless wax experience. Call us to understand our expert tips.

What’s the difference between a Swimline and Complete wax?

A Swimline wax typically removes hair that extends outside of a swimsuit line, while a Complete wax removes all hair from the Swimline area.

How long will the results last?

Most clients see smooth skin for 3 to 6 weeks; however, it varies based on your hair growth cycle.

Can I wax if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, we recommend personalised wax and techniques to alleviate pain and create a good experience for patrons with sensitive skin.

What aftercare is recommended post-waxing?

Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, and sweating for 24 hours. Use a gentle exfoliant after a few days to prevent ingrown hairs.

Is face waxing or facial hair removal different from body waxing?

Yes. Facial skin is more delicate than the body, so we use gentler wax formulas and techniques designed specifically for sensitive areas like the face. Our aestheticians choose the right type of wax based on your skin type and the area being treated.

Do you use hard or soft wax?

We offer both hard and soft wax depending on the treatment area and your skin’s needs. Hard wax is commonly used for sensitive or smaller areas (like the face or underarms), while soft wax works well for larger areas like the chest, back, and legs.

Do you offer patch tests for first-time clients?

Yes, absolutely. If you’re trying waxing for the first time or have sensitive skin, we’re happy to do a patch test in advance to check for any reaction. Your comfort and safety always come first.

Why should I trust your body waxing service?

Our body waxing is known for its hygiene, technique, and client comfort. We use professional-grade wax, follow strict sanitization protocols, and tailor the service to your skin type and hair texture. With hundreds of happy clients in Richmond, our quality speaks through experience and results.

Do you offer natural hair removal options?

Yes. We offer sugaring as a natural alternative to traditional waxing. It's made from sugar, lemon, and water—ideal for sensitive skin and those looking for a more eco-conscious option.

Is body waxing available for both men and women?

Yes. We proudly offer full-body waxing services for both men and women, customized to your comfort level and grooming goals. From chest and back to legs and underarms, we tailor each session to fit your needs.

I want to remove hair from my pubic area but feel shy. What should I do?

You’re not alone—and we understand. Our services are completely professional, respectful, and private. We work with many first-time clients who feel nervous initially, and our experienced aestheticians are trained to guide you through it with care and discretion. You’re always in control of what you’re comfortable with.

HEAR FROM OUR HAPPY CUSTOMERS

Curating some of the top experience shared by our happy clients

I have been a client at Short Pump Threading for 7 years and Miriam always makes my brows look amazing! I have tried another threading shop and they completely messed up my eyebrows. Miriam patiently worked with me until they grew back out and looked amazing under her expertise! I have tried all ways of shaping my brows and am completely satisfied with the service, pleasant greeting and professionalism I receive at Short Pump Threading! Sign me a long time satisfied customer!

I had the pleasure of getting my eyebrows done here and the experience was nothing short of fantastic. Mariam is incredibly skilled in her craft; the process was virtually painless and quick. I informed her I was wary due to prior threading experiences so she noted my concerns and was careful to avoid them. Afterwards she took the time to inform me on simple upkeep so my brows would grow back beautiful and full. The place itself was cute, clean, and comfortable. I drove half an hour to get there and I will be gladly doing it again!

Mariam always does an amazing job. I’ve been seeing her for a year now for brow threading and she never fails to make me look good! She takes her time to ensure she shapes your brows to your face and the threading lasts for a month.
