Will I look bad growing it out between appointments?

This is the question we hear most from people who only come in before a trip or a big event. They love how smooth they feel afterward. What they dread is the stretch in between, when hair has to grow back long enough for the next appointment.

Fair worry. Here's what actually happens.

The first round is the hardest

Your very first visit is working with hair that has been shaved, trimmed or waxed in all sorts of ways. The hair comes back on several different schedules, so the first few weeks after can feel uneven. That's normal, and it doesn't last.

Why it gets easier

Sugar pulls hair out from the root, in the same direction it grows. It doesn't snap hair off at the surface the way shaving does, and it's less likely to break hair than wax pulled against the grain. When hair comes out whole, what grows back tends to come in finer and slower.

Stay on a four to six week schedule for your first three or four visits and most clients find there's simply less to grow out. Plenty of our regulars tell us they come back at four weeks and barely have anything there.

What helps in between

  • Skip the razor. Shaving resets the cycle and brings back the stubble you were trying to leave behind.

  • Exfoliate gently a couple of times a week, starting a few days after your appointment. It helps keep ingrowns away.

  • Keep your next appointment on the calendar. Consistency is what makes the in-between shorter.

Occasional or regular, both are fine

If you only want to come in a few times a year, we're happy to see you. If you've been holding off on coming regularly because of the grow-out stage, give it three visits in a row and see how it feels.
