Yes, it's possible. The skin surrounding your brows is very delicate and can be prone to irritation. If you experience swelling or redness after getting waxed, apply an over-the-counter cortisone cream over the area to calm inflammation. You can also use natural remedies such as tea tree oil, aloe vera, and apple cider vinegar to soothe freshly waxed skin and avoid infections.

How long your eyebrow waxing appointment takes depends on your brows' shape, texture, and condition. In general, a standard brow waxing procedure can take anywhere between 45 minutes to an hour. This includes the initial consultation, the brow waxing process, and some possible light tweezing afterwards. In case you're looking to get additional services such as eyebrow tinting, you may need to allow for another extra hour or so.

Technically, waxing is suitable for all skin types. However, if you're using topical medications such as retinoids or acne medicine like Accutane or Differin, then please avoid waxing for now. These medicines tend to weaken the skin, so getting a waxing procedure is not recommended. Those who have other skin issues such as dermatitis or sunburnt skin are also advised to avoid waxing treatments.

Your eyebrows have to be at least one and a half to one-fourth inches long to get them properly waxed. You can also measure your brow growth by waiting anywhere between four to twelve weeks after your last treatment. To ensure your brows are always in shape, keep in mind to let them regrow and only pluck or tweeze stray hairs with the approval of your brow technician.

The best thing to do in between waxing is to leave your brows alone and letting them regrow on their own. However, you may also tweeze any stray hairs that fall above or below your brow shape. Remember never to touch the insides of your brows or your current arch. Just tweeze stray hairs carefully in the direction of your hair growth to easily pull out the hair without risking ingrown hairs or changing your hair's texture.

Booking your brow waxing appointment a few days to a week ahead is ideal. Doing so gives you enough time to regrow your hair and ensure it's the right length if you want to change your brow shape or style. However, in case you need an urgent brow waxing appointment, that's no problem. We can also connect you with technicians who can readily work on your brows on the same day or the next day.
