Waxing Services
Clean lines, smooth skin, and a quick stop on the way to feeling polished. Square One’s esthetician-led waxing services give you precise, professional results in a setting that prioritizes your comfort.
Waxing at Square One
Waxing remains one of the simplest, most reliable ways to keep skin smooth between treatments. Performed by our licensed esthetician with high-quality wax and a careful, methodical technique, our services are designed to be quick, hygienic, and as comfortable as waxing can be.
At this time, we offer facial waxing and underarm waxing. Both are excellent ways to refine your routine — facial waxing in particular pairs beautifully with our other esthetician services for a more polished, photo-ready look.
Services Currently Offered
Facial Waxing
Precision shaping and clean-up for the brows, lip, chin, and other facial areas. Ideal as a finishing touch before facials, dermaplaning, or any time you want a crisp, refreshed look.
Underarm Waxing
A quick, effective alternative to daily shaving. Results typically last several weeks and leave the skin smoother than razors can achieve, with less irritation over time.
Benefits of Professional Waxing
- Smoother, Longer-Lasting Results. Because waxing removes hair from the root, you stay smoother for longer than with shaving or depilatory creams.
- Finer Regrowth Over Time. Repeated waxing can lead to softer, finer regrowth as hair follicles are repeatedly weakened.
- Gentle Exfoliation. Waxing lifts dead surface skin along with the hair, leaving the area smoother and brighter.
- Precise, Custom Shaping. Especially for the brows, professional waxing offers control and definition that's difficult to achieve at home.
- A Trusted, Sanitary Environment. Our esthetician follows strict hygiene protocols — clean tools, single-use applicators, and a calm, professional setting.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your appointment begins with a brief consultation so we understand exactly what you’re looking for — whether that’s a polished brow shape, a quick lip clean-up, or smooth underarms ahead of a big weekend. Your esthetician will cleanse the area, apply warm wax in the direction of hair growth, and remove it with quick, controlled motions.
Most appointments are over in 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area. Expect mild redness and warmth immediately afterward — this settles quickly, often within an hour or two.
Aftercare Tips
Before Your Appointment
- Hair should be roughly a quarter-inch long for the wax to grip effectively — about two to three weeks of growth.
- Skip retinoids and strong exfoliants on the area for two to three days beforehand.
- Avoid waxing right before significant sun exposure or during the peak of any skin sensitivity.
After Your Appointment
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 24 hours — heat and sweat can irritate freshly waxed skin.
- Skip makeup over freshly waxed facial areas for a few hours to let pores settle.
- Use SPF on any waxed area that will see sunlight. Recently waxed skin is more sensitive to UV.
- Gently exfoliate the area a few days later to help prevent ingrown hairs.
Who is Waxing Right For?
Most adults are excellent candidates for facial and underarm waxing. We do recommend skipping wax if you’re currently using prescription-strength retinoids (like Accutane or topical tretinoin), if you’ve had a recent chemical peel or laser treatment in the area, or if you have active skin irritation. When in doubt, ask — we’re happy to advise on timing around your other Square One services.
