You can book one small area or combine a few in the same visit. Because facial skin can react more easily than body skin, tell us about retinol, acids, acne medication, peels, sunburn, or recent skin treatments before we start.

Pause retinol, strong acids, aggressive exfoliation, and prescription acne treatments around the brows or face before your appointment unless your provider tells you otherwise.
Waxing isn’t the best choice for the face if you have psoriasis, eczema, severe acne, or are taking skin thinners like Accutane or a high-percentage retinol, these thin the skin. Retinols, acids, and exfoliating before facial waxing also thin the skin and can cause irritation, bumps, redness, even skin lifting. Tell your technician before wax touches the skin.
Light makeup is okay, but clean skin is better when possible. Avoid heavy oils or creams on the area right before the service.
After facial waxing, wear SPF that day, avoid extreme heat such as hot showers, hot tubs, sauna, or steam room, and hold off on retinols for at least 10 days. Try not to touch the area until the skin feels calm.
Facial waxing is small but sensitive. If your skin is thin, irritated, sunburned, freshly treated, affected by recent skin treatments, or reactive, we may suggest waiting or choosing threading instead.
Threading is available at our Yonge & Davisville / Midtown location for eyebrows, upper lip, chin, sideburns, neck, and full face. It can be a good choice for clients who want precise facial hair removal or prefer not to use wax on some facial areas.
Face waxing is available at Bloor, Yonge & Davisville / Midtown, and Streetsville. Threading is only available at Yonge & Davisville / Midtown.
Waxing is fast and smooth for many small areas. Threading can feel more controlled for brows and fine facial hairs. Both can be useful, and the best choice depends on your skin and preference.
