How Long Does Waxing Last?
A realistic guide to waxing results, regrowth and regular maintenance.
Typical results
Waxing removes hair from the root, so results usually last longer than shaving. Many people notice smoother skin for a few weeks, but regrowth timing varies from person to person.
Hair growth is affected by hormones, hair type, previous hair removal methods and how regularly you wax.
Regular waxing
With regular waxing, some people find regrowth feels softer or easier to manage over time. Keeping to a routine can also make appointments feel more predictable.
Avoid shaving between waxes if you want a more consistent waxing routine.
Before your appointment
For best results, hair usually needs to be long enough for the wax to grip. If you are unsure whether it is too short, ask before booking.
