Typically results last three to six weeks depending on individual hair growth, hormones, and care routine. Regular waxing can extend intervals as regrowth becomes finer. Follow aftercare to reduce irritation and schedule follow-ups for consistent smoothness.

Sensation varies by person and area; most clients experience brief discomfort during removal but find it tolerable. We use comfort-formulated wax and trained techniques to minimize pain. Numbing options can be discussed for very sensitive skin.

Trim hair to about a quarter inch if necessary and arrive with clean, dry skin. Avoid heavy creams, recent sun exposure, retinoids, or blood-thinning medications. Gentle exfoliation two to three days prior helps prevent ingrown hairs.

Avoid hot showers, saunas, intense exercise, and direct sun for 24–48 hours. Keep the area clean, apply soothing aloe or recommended lotion, and gently exfoliate after 48 hours to prevent ingrown hairs.

Yes. Half Arms is designed for targeted grooming—specify upper (shoulder to elbow) or lower (elbow to wrist) when booking. Our staff will confirm your preference and tailor the treatment to your needs.

We assess skin sensitivity during consultation; freshly sunburned or irritated skin should not be waxed. For sensitive or recently tanned skin we may perform a patch test or use gentler wax formulas to avoid discomfort.
