FAQ Waxing at Tigerlily Waxing

Attention waxing newbies – you can find out everything you need to know about waxing in our Waxing FAQs at Tigerlily Waxing. As a specialized waxing studio in Berlin Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf , we want to answer your most frequently asked questions and make your path to silky-smooth skin easier.

What is the difference between Hotwax and Stripwax?

Hot Wax

Our hot wax is perfect for sensitive areas like the bikini line, underarms, and face. It's applied thickly, cools briefly, and is gently removed. Thanks to its low melting point, it's pleasantly warm, not hot. The waxing oil it contains nourishes the skin while removing only the hairs. Hairs 1 mm and longer are removed effortlessly – gently and effectively.

The noticeable difference to conventional hot wax methods comes from

• Pre-treating the skin with oil (conventional waxes must be applied to dry, untreated skin, which puts more strain on the skin and irritates it),

• the lower melting point of our hot wax (therefore it is pleasantly warm and not hot) and

• applying smaller pieces of wax (allows better stretching of the skin when peeling off and is therefore much less painful)

Strip wax (warm wax) This method is ideal for larger, less sensitive areas of skin such as legs, arms, chest, or back. Strip wax is applied in a very thin layer and removed with nonwoven strips. It removes even stubborn hair quickly, gently, and thoroughly.

How long should my hairs be for waxing? While everyone's hair growth varies, we can generally wax areas that were shaved about a week ago. Our hot wax can even grip hairs as short as 1 mm ! That leaves neither time nor the slightest chance for "swoopy legs." Our strip wax transforms everything from 2 mm back into silky, soft skin.

What bikini and intimate waxings does Tigerlily Waxing offer? We offer a wide selection Bikini and intimate waxing options for women:

• Tutti Frutti: Complete bikini, including bottom fold.

• Skinny Mini: A narrow strip.

• Lovy Dovey: Triangular shape, including buttock crease.

• Simple: Without labia and buttock crease.

Our experienced waxing experts will be happy to advise you to find the right waxing option for you.

Does it hurt? Pain sensitivity varies from person to person, but our experienced waxing specialists and the high-quality of our waxing products ensure the most pleasant experience possible. Thanks to our special techniques, waxing with us is significantly less painful than conventional methods. With each treatment, the hair grows back thinner and less – thus, waxing becomes increasingly more pleasant.

How quickly does hair grow back? You'll initially see a few hairs growing back after about a week. It may take up to four treatments to get your hair into a consistent growth cycle, which will produce the best results. To maintain a well-groomed, sexy appearance afterward, we recommend a four-week cycle.

What should I keep in mind after waxing? Such delicate, soft skin doesn't want any heat or chemicals for the next 24 hours . In plain English:

• No sun, solarium or sauna

• Avoid chlorinated water or swimming pools

• Do not use deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions or similar products immediately after treatment (12 h – 24 h)

• No tanning cream either!

Please also note that small bumps and redness may occur (especially if this is your first time). Your skin may need some time to adjust. However, these should disappear quickly (24-48 hours).

When is waxing not recommended? Irritated, reddened, or damaged skin!

I'm pregnant, can I still wax my intimate area?

Are you "under different circumstances" and don't want to give up at least some of your usual contours? Or are you finding it very difficult to perform certain routine care steps yourself? Waxing during pregnancy is generally not a problem. It's even becoming increasingly popular! It's a great way to make sure everything runs smoothly.

How do you best prepare for your waxing?

To ensure your waxing experience is pleasant and effective, there are a few simple preparations you can make:

1. Hair length: For optimal results, your hair should be about 0.5 cm long – if your hair is significantly longer, we recommend trimming it to about 1 cm beforehand.

2. Comfortable clothing: Skin can be sensitive after waxing. Therefore, it's best to wear loose clothing to avoid unnecessary friction or irritation.

3. Hygiene: Especially for intimate waxing, it's important that you arrive freshly showered. This not only ensures a pleasant experience, but is also more hygienic for you and your waxing expert.
