Hard wax is a type of wax that does not require the use of strips. It is made from natural ingredients such as beeswax or resin, which harden when cooled and do not require any additional materials to remove hair. Hard wax is applied directly to the skin and once it hardens, it is pulled off in the opposite direction of hair growth, removing the hair from the root. It is known for being less painful than other waxing methods and is often preferred for sensitive areas of the body, which is why at Hidden Gem, we use it on the face, underarms and bikini areas.
Absolutely! We provide waxing services for all individuals, regardless of gender. Our waxing studio is inclusive and welcomes everyone. We offer a range of waxing options, tailored to individual preferences and needs.
For effective hair removal, it is recommended that your hair should be at least 1/4 of an inch long, which is approximately the size of a grain of rice. To ensure this, it is advised to avoid shaving for at least two weeks prior to your appointment. If you have been growing your hair for longer than that, even better! Don't worry about it being too long. Many people believe that trimming the hair will reduce the pain during the service, but often, trimming it too short can actually make it more painful. This is because the wax won't be able to fully adhere to the hair. So, let those hairs grow!
First of all, let the hair grow! Wax cannot effectively adhere to hair that is too short. Next, exfoliate the area being waxed a day or two before your appointment. On the day of, avoid applying any lotions, oils, or creams, as they can interfere with the waxing process.
The duration of a waxing session depends on the area being waxed. On average, it can take anywhere from 15 minutes for smaller areas to 45 minutes for larger areas.
Waxing typically lasts between 3 to 6 weeks, depending on individual hair growth cycles. With each regular waxing session, you will notice that your hair grows back finer and less dense than before.
Of course! If you are wearing a fresh tampon, there is no need to change or cancel your appointment. However, if wearing a tampon is not possible for you, we can discuss alternative options for your wax service. Please rest assured that this issue is quite common and it does not bother me at all, so there's no need to worry about it!
Certainly! If you feel comfortable, we can definitely provide waxing services for you throughout your pregnancy, even up until your due date. However, I would advise you to discontinue the use of any chemical exfoliators during this time and instead opt for a physical exfoliator.
After waxing, it is important to keep the waxed area clean and moisturized. Avoid hot baths, saunas, or excessive sweating for 24 hours, as they can irritate the skin. To soothe and nourish the area, Fur Oil can be applied on the night of your appointment. Afterward, you can continue using it daily to moisturize both the skin and hair. Start exfoliating the area 48-72 hours after your wax service, and continue at least three times a week until your next appointment.

For your first appointment, your parent or guardian must accompany you and provide consent. Once permission is granted, your parent or guardian does not need to be present for any future appointments.

If you arrive more than 10 minutes past your scheduled appointment time, we may need to reschedule or modify your appointment. Modifications may involve canceling certain services, selecting a service that can be completed within the remaining time, or compromising on the quality of your service (for example, no tweezing, leaving some hairs, or skipping brow fill-ins).
