Q. - What is an Lash Lift?
A: It is a perm for your natural lashes. Silicon shields are applied to your eyelids then your natural lashes are fixed over the shields. Solution one lifts the lashes, solution two will set the lashes into the new curved lifted form and the final step is a blue black vegan tint.
We carry 3 different brands that have different strengths.
You can not get your lashes wet, rub your eyes, cry or sleep on your lashes for 48 hours after the service.
Please come in with clean lashes and no mascara.
Q. - What is an Eyebrow Lamination?
A: It is a 3 step process that smoothes out the eyebrow hairs to lift each hair into a fuller and fluffier look. It is great for adding definition and giving the illusion of a fuller eyebrow shape. It is best for clients that have long eyebrow hairs and do not trim.
Our Lamination service includes desing, the lamination itself and tint if needed.
If you have any skin conditions such as: Eczema, Acne, Dermatitis, Open skin around the brow area or very sparse / weak hairs you are NOT a good candidate.
Q. - Why remove hair with wax?
A: Because waxing will make your skin feel soft and it lasts much longer than any other temporary method. People also wax because they feel it is more hygienic and that their hair grows back finer and sparser over time.
Q. - Does waxing hurt?
A: Yes, but the pain goes away in seconds and every person's pain tolerance is different. It does get much easier after the first time. If you are extra sensitive or about to get your period please consider taking ibuprofen 45 minutes to an hour prior to your appointment.
Q. - What steps are taken to ensure proper hygiene?
A: At The Waxing Spot, all of our equipment is sterilized by a Tuttnauer 1730 Medical Autoclave. To ensure the highest standards of hygiene, our waxing sticks are dipped into sterile wax, applied to the client once, and then discarded. All services are carried out with vinyl gloves, our waxing beds are covered with 3ply disposable sheets. Our counter tops are quartz and cleaned with alcohol 70% proof.

A: All of our waxing specialists are licensed in the State of Connecticut to help ensure that our clients experience the highest level of service possible. We have required this of our employees since 2009.
Q. - How long should the hair be?
A: At least 1/4 inch or 3-4 weeks of growth, whichever is longer. The longer your hair is, the better results you will get and the longer it will last.
Q. Can I get waxed while I’m on my period?
A: Yes. While you might be more sensitive during this time of the month, you can still wax!Q. What kind of wax do you use?

All pre and post oils, lotions and liquids are also vegan and made by JaxWax.
Q. Is everyone trained the same? Or are others better at different services?

Q. What should I do to prepare for my wax?
A: You should have at least 3 weeks of growth between each body wax, and at least 2 weeks between each facial wax. For better results, you should exfoliate the area in between treatments.Q. - How long does the waxing last?

Q. What is your return policy for your products?
Q. - When should I not get waxed?
A: If you are in cancer therapy, receiving chemotherapy, or radiation treatment. If you are taking Rx Accutane, Differin, Retin A, Antibiotics, or any medication that may cause sun sensitivity. You should also avoid waxing while using salicylic acid, glycolic acid, benzoyl peroxide, Obagi products, any harsh exfoliants, or any facial peels. All these products thin out your skin and will make you more sensitive and likely to burn or peel. Please wait 2-6 weeks depending on how long you have been on the medication before you wax, as we want to make sure the medications are out of your system. If you are not sure of how you may react from any other prescriptions you are taking, please contact your physician.
