✨ Waxing in Salt Lake City – Smooth Skin, Every Time ✨
At The Cat House Waxing & Esthetics Studio in Salt Lake City, we specialize in expert hair removal for everyBODY—women, men, and non-binary clients alike. Whether you’re coming in for a Brazilian wax, leg wax, facial waxing, or full-body waxing, our goal is to make the process as comfortable and effective as possible. Consistent waxing not only leaves your skin silky smooth, but also reduces hair growth over time, helps prevent ingrown hairs, and makes each wax less painful. Our licensed estheticians use professional-grade products and techniques to deliver safe, high-quality results so you can feel confident and carefree all year long.
Q: How long does my hair need to be before waxing?
A: Hair should be at least ¼ inch long—about the length of a grain of rice—for the wax to grip properly.
Q: How often should I wax?
A: To stay on your hair cycle, we recommend waxing every 4 weeks. This helps sync the hair growth so it’s all removed at once. After about 4 waxes, most clients can go longer between appointments.
Q: Will my hair grow back thinner?
A: Yes! The more you wax, the less hair comes back. It grows back finer, softer, and waxing also becomes less painful over time.
Q: Does waxing help with ingrown hairs?
A: Absolutely. Waxing removes hair from the root, which reduces ingrowns compared to shaving. Pairing waxing with regular exfoliation is the best way to prevent bumps.
Q: What should I avoid after waxing?
A: For 24–48 hours avoid:
Sex
Working out
Swimming
Saunas or hot tubs
Excess moisture and friction
Q: How do I care for my skin after waxing?
A: Exfoliate with a loofah starting 48 hours after your wax, then daily to help prevent ingrowns. Keep skin clean and hydrated.
Q: I’ve heard of the “Brazilian boner.” What is that?
A: Some men may experience an erection during a Brazilian wax. This is a natural, involuntary biological reaction. Please don’t be embarrassed—we are professionals and it’s completely normal.
