HOLISTIC WOMEN'S BODY WAXING IN RICHMOND, VA

To reduce discomfort, consider scheduling your waxing session a week after your menstrual cycle, when pain tolerance is higher. Using a numbing cream or taking an over-the-counter pain reliever 30 minutes before the appointment can also help.

Inform your esthetician about your skin sensitivity. We use hypoallergenic wax and follow a gentle technique to accommodate sensitive skin, minimizing irritation.

While waxing can lead to temporary redness, using cool compresses and avoiding harsh skincare products for 24 hours post-waxing can prevent irritation. We also provide aftercare products designed to soothe the skin.

Yes, waxing is safe during pregnancy, but please inform your esthetician, as we may need to adjust the technique and positioning for your comfort.

Regular exfoliation and moisturizing can help prevent ingrown hairs. We recommend gentle exfoliating products and can suggest specific ones suited to your skin type.

If you have a skin condition, consult with your dermatologist before waxing. We can tailor our waxing methods to avoid exacerbating your condition and ensure a safe, comfortable experience.

For the bikini and intimate areas, we use high-quality hard wax that’s gentle on sensitive skin and ideal for coarse hair. Hard wax adheres only to the hair—not the skin—making the process more comfortable and reducing post-wax irritation.

Our pricing reflects the quality of wax, skill of our aestheticians, and comfort-focused approach. We use premium waxes, maintain strict hygiene standards, and give every client time and attention.

We offer a range of bikini waxing styles to suit your preference:

Bikini Line: Just the edges, for a clean-up outside the panty line.
Full Bikini: More thorough, removing hair from the front while leaving a bit in the center.
Brazilian: Removes all or most of the hair from the front, back, and everything in between—customized to your comfort.
Modified Brazilian or Strip: Leaves a thin vertical strip or triangle, while cleaning the rest.

Your comfort and privacy are our priority—we always walk you through your options and let you choose what feels right.

For facial waxing, we use specially formulated soft wax that’s gentle on delicate skin and effective at removing fine facial hair. For ultra-sensitive skin, we also offer hard wax or sugaring upon request. We always assess your skin type before beginning and use soothing aftercare to minimize redness or irritation.
