Question 1

What should I expect during my first waxing appointment?

Accepted Answer

You'll check in, get taken back to a private room, and your esthetician will walk you through everything before they start. We keep it professional, low-key, and judgment-free. No hair is safe here — but you're always in good hands.

Question 2

Do I need to do anything before I come in?

Accepted Answer

Let your hair grow to at least ¼ inch (about the length of a grain of rice — roughly 2 weeks from your last shave). Skip the lotion and oils on the day of your appointment, and avoid tanning beds or sun exposure for 24 hours before. That's pretty much it.

Question 3

How long does hair need to be before I can get waxed?

Accepted Answer

At least ¼ inch — about the length of a grain of rice, or 2 weeks of growth from a shave. To make sure we can get everything in one pass, wait until ALL the hair is at least that length. Longer is fine. Shorter and the wax won't grab, and nobody wants that.

Question 4

Will it hurt?

Accepted Answer

We're not going to lie… it stings. The first time is usually the most intense because your roots are at their strongest. The good news? It gets easier every single time. Regular waxing weakens the hair follicle, so the more consistent you are, the more manageable it gets. First-timers, we've got you.

Question 5

How long will my appointment take?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the service. A Brazilian typically takes 30-45 minutes for first-timers and goes faster for returning clients. Brows are quick, usually under 15 minutes. Give yourself a little buffer on your first visit.

Question 6

What kind of wax do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use both hard wax and soft wax depending on the area and your skin. Hard wax cools and sets on the skin and is pulled without muslin; it's gentler and better suited for sensitive areas. Soft wax uses a muslin strip and is better for larger areas and coarser hair. Your esthetician will decide which is right for you.

Question 7

Do you double dip?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. We follow a strict no double-dipping policy — a fresh wax stick on every single dip, every single time. Your safety and hygiene are non-negotiable.

Question 8

Can someone come in the room with me?

Accepted Answer

We love that you have a hype person, but no, due to the intimate nature of our services, only you and your esthetician are allowed in the room. Your moral support is more than welcome to hang out in the waiting area.

Question 9

Is Screamin Peach inclusive? Do you serve all body types and identities?

Accepted Answer

100%. We use an anatomy-based service menu and welcome every body, every identity.

Question 10

Does waxing hurt?

Accepted Answer

Yep, there's a sting. The first time is the hardest. After that, it gets easier with every appointment. Regular waxing means your roots have less time to strengthen, which means less discomfort over time. Worth it.

Question 11

What can I do to reduce discomfort?

Accepted Answer

A few things help: stay hydrated, skip the caffeine and alcohol before your visit. You can also take a Tylenol/Acetaminophen about 30 minutes before your appointment. Skip the Advil, Ibuprofen, or aspirin — those can increase the chance of bruising.

Question 12

Is waxing safe for sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Generally, yes. Just let your esthetician know about any sensitivities when you check in, and they'll adjust. If you're on any skin medications or treatments, check the Pregnancy & Medications section below — some require a heads up before we wax.

Question 13

Can I take a pain reliever before my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Tylenol/Acetaminophen about 30 minutes before can take the edge off. Just avoid Advil, Ibuprofen, and aspirin, as those can increase the likelihood of bruising.

Question 14

How long does my hair need to be before waxing?

Accepted Answer

At least ¼ inch, about the length of a grain of rice, or roughly 2 weeks from your last shave. The more growth, the better. When in doubt, let it go a little longer.

Question 15

Should I exfoliate before my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but gently, and not the day of. A light exfoliation 1–2 days before helps prep the skin and can reduce ingrown hairs down the line. Skip anything too harsh right before your appointment.

Question 16

What should I avoid before getting waxed?

Accepted Answer

Skip the lotions, oils, and self-tanners on the area being waxed the day of your appointment. Avoid tanning beds and sun exposure for 24 hours before. If you're using retinol or any exfoliating prescription treatments, let us know — some require a pause before waxing.

Question 17

What should I avoid after getting waxed?

Accepted Answer

For 24 hours after your appointment: no tanning or unprotected sun exposure, no hot baths or soaking, no heavy exercise, and no sexual activity on waxed areas. Your pores are open and susceptible to bacteria. Keep the area clean and give your skin a little grace. Call us with any concerns.

Question 18

How often should I get waxed?

Accepted Answer

Every 4-6 weeks for body services, and every 2-4 weeks for brows and facial waxing. Get on a regular schedule and your results will keep getting better — hair comes back finer and sparser over time.

Question 19

I still have some hairs after my appointment — can I come back?

Accepted Answer

Yes! No hair is safe, and we mean it. We offer free touch-up services if anything gets missed. Just give us a call to schedule. Note: touch-ups must be with the same esthetician and within 7 days of your original appointment.

Question 20

Can I get waxed while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Many clients do! That said, skin sensitivity increases during pregnancy so your experience may feel more intense than usual. We always recommend checking with your OB or midwife first before booking.

Question 21

I just got my period — can I still come in for a Brazilian?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can still get waxed during your cycle, though you'll likely be more sensitive than usual. Please wear a tampon or menstrual cup during your service.

Question 22

Are there any medications that affect waxing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Retinoids like Retin-A, certain acne medications, and blood thinners can all affect how your skin responds to waxing. Always let your esthetician know what you're currently taking before your appointment. When in doubt, check with your prescribing doctor.

Question 23

I use a face lotion with retinol. Can I still get waxed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but pause the retinol for at least 5 days before your appointment. Using retinol close to your wax date thins the skin and makes it more sensitive and prone to irritation.

Question 24

Are there skin conditions or treatments that make waxing unsafe?

Accepted Answer

Yes — open wounds, sunburn, or recent chemical peels on the area being waxed are all reasons to reschedule. If you've recently had laser treatments or are using prescription-strength skin products, give us a heads up when you book. Your skin's safety always comes first.

Question 25

How long will my results last?

Accepted Answer

About 4-6 weeks for body services and 2-4 weeks for brows and facial waxing. The more consistently you wax, the longer your results tend to last.

Question 26

Does waxing make hair grow back thicker over time?

Accepted Answer

Actually, the opposite. Regular waxing weakens the hair follicle over time, so hair grows back finer and more sparse. It doesn't happen overnight, but stay consistent, and you'll absolutely notice the difference.

Question 27

What's the difference between waxing and sugaring?

Accepted Answer

Both remove hair from the root, but sugaring uses a natural paste — sugar, lemon, and water — applied in the direction of hair growth and removed against it. It tends to be gentler on the skin and is a great option for sensitive skin types. Not sure which is right for you? Just ask when you book.

Question 28

Do you offer sugaring?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Sugaring is available at our locations — ask at booking to confirm availability.

Question 29

What locations offer spray tans?

Accepted Answer

Airbrush spray tans are available at our South Fort Collins, Johnstown, and Longmont locations. Spray tans are not available at Old Town.

Question 30

What kinds of spray tans do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer three custom airbrush spray tans: Classic (8 hr), Dark (8 hr), and Express (2 hr). Every tan is applied by hand by a trained tech — no booths, no videos, no weird feet protectors. Just a natural, even result.

Question 31

How do I prepare for a spray tan?

Accepted Answer

Wax or shave, bathe, and exfoliate before your appointment — just not the day of. Come in with clean, product-free skin: no lotion, deodorant, or perfume on the day of. Wear or bring loose, dark-colored clothing and flip flops.

Question 32

What should I wear to my spray tan appointment?

Accepted Answer

Loose, dark-colored clothing and flip flops. Avoid tight waistbands and straps — you want nothing pressing against your skin after your tan. You can be sprayed nude, in a bathing suit, or in underwear — whatever you're most comfortable with. Clients with male anatomy, please wear shorts or underwear during your service.

Question 33

How long does a spray tan last?

Accepted Answer

Typically, 7-10 days with proper care. Moisturizing daily and avoiding long hot showers will help extend your color.

Question 34

What should I avoid after my spray tan?

Accepted Answer

For the first 24 hours: avoid showering, sweating, tight clothing, and anything rubbing against your skin. After that, moisturize daily, pat dry instead of rubbing, and avoid chlorine and exfoliating products to keep your tan going strong.

Question 35

Can I sleep in my spray tan?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our 8-hour tans stop developing on their own without showering, so sleeping in them is totally fine. The Express tan formula needs to be rinsed off after 2 hours — so plan accordingly.

Question 36

Do you use a specific spray tan solution?

Accepted Answer

We use South Seas spray tan solution — the same brand trusted by professionals and used on Dancing with the Stars. Just saying…
