Waxing Prep & Aftercare Tips
Before Your Appointment
- Exfoliate the night before for best results

- Avoid retinol or exfoliating acids on the area for 24 hrs
- Stay out of the sun or tanning beds before your appointment
- Come clean and dry — no lotions or oils on the area
After Your Appointment

- Skip heavy exercise (sweat can irritate fresh skin)

Frequently Asked Questions — Waxing Near Bear, DE
What's the difference between a Bikini, Daring, and Brazilian wax?
Bikini Brave ($35) removes hair outside a standard bikini bottom — sides, top, and happy trail. The Daring ($45) covers more surface area and is customized to your comfort — our in-between option. The Brazilian ($65) removes everything from front to back, including the butt strip and stomach trail. Not sure which is right for you? Book the Brazilian time slot and we'll help you decide when you arrive — you'll only pay for what you actually receive.
Is this your first Brazilian wax? What should you expect?
Book the First Time Brazilian ($85). This extended session includes a full consultation so you know exactly what to expect — no surprises. You'll also receive complimentary Calm Down Wash, Clarify Serum, and a scrub to care for your skin afterward. We'll walk you through everything, answer every question, and keep you comfortable throughout.
Do you offer waxing for men near Newark, DE?
Absolutely. Our Body Waxing services are open to all guests — women and men. Men commonly book underarm ($20), chest ($35), chest + abdomen ($65), full or half back waxing, shoulder ($28), full leg ($88), and arm waxing. We provide a clean, professional, and comfortable environment regardless of your service.
How long does hair need to be before waxing?
Hair should be at least ¼ inch long — roughly the length of a grain of rice — so the wax can grip and remove it cleanly. If you've been shaving, wait at least 2–3 weeks before your first waxing appointment. Avoid shaving between wax appointments; regular waxing every 4–6 weeks produces the best long-term results and makes each session more comfortable.
What is a Vajacial and do you offer it?
A Vajacial is a facial-style treatment for the bikini area — designed to soothe, brighten, and minimize ingrown hairs after waxing. At Gifted Hands, clients who book a Vajacial one week after their Brazilian receive 10% off the Vajacial service (12% off for Frequent Flier clients). Ask about scheduling it when you book your Brazilian.
How do I prevent ingrown hairs after waxing?
The key is consistent exfoliation. Start gently exfoliating 48 hours after your wax, then 2–3 times per week to keep follicles clear. Moisturize daily with a gentle lotion. Avoid tight clothing immediately after intimate waxing. Staying on a regular 4–6 week waxing schedule also significantly reduces ingrown hairs over time as the hair follicle weakens. Our complimentary Clarify Serum (included with First Time Brazilian) is specifically formulated to help.
How much does waxing cost near Bear, DE?
Our facial waxing starts at $10 (lip wax) and runs to $52 (brow wax + tint). Intimate waxing ranges from $19 (Bunny Tail or Happier Trail) to $85 (First Time Brazilian). Body waxing ranges from $20 (underarm) to $145 (full chest + back + shoulders + stomach package). All pricing is listed on this page with no hidden fees.
