How Often Should You Really Get Waxed?

(Because being smooth shouldn’t be a guessing game.)

So, you’ve had your first wax, fallen in love with that silky-smooth feeling, and now you’re wondering — how soon should I come back?

It’s a question we get all the time at Smooth Criminals Wax Co., and the truth is… it depends a little on you. But don’t worry — we’re here to make it easy. Here’s your complete guide to keeping your smooth game strong, all year long.

💫 The Golden Rule: Every 4–6 Weeks

For most people, the sweet spot is every 4–6 weeks.
That’s how long it typically takes for your hair to regrow to around ¼ inch long — the perfect length for your next wax.

At that point, the wax can grip each strand properly, giving you the cleanest, smoothest results (with less discomfort, too).

Think of it like skincare maintenance — not a one-off event, but part of your routine self-care cycle.

🧠 Why Timing Matters

Waxing too soon means your hair may be too short for the wax to catch. Wait too long, and it might feel like you’re starting all over again (and you might notice a bit more sensitivity).

Keeping a consistent schedule helps your hair growth cycle stay in sync, meaning smoother results that last longer each time.

Plus, regular waxing weakens the hair follicle over time. That means your hair grows back finer, softer, and less noticeable… a major win.

👙 Area-by-Area Guide

Because not all hair grows at the same speed, here’s a quick cheat sheet for how often to book each service:

  • Brows & Face - Every 3–4 weeks (Hair grows faster here — stay shaped and fresh.)

  • Underarms - Every 3–4 weeks (Regular waxing keeps this area smooth and odour-free.)

  • Bikini / Brazilian - Every 4–6 weeks (Enough regrowth for a clean result with minimal discomfort.)

  • Legs (Half or Full) - Every 5–6 weeks (Hair growth is slower here — perfect for longer gaps.)

  • Chest / Back (Men) - Every 5–7 weeks (Consistent waxing keeps regrowth fine and patch-free.)

💬 Pro Tip: Stick to Your Schedule

Try not to shave between waxes — it interrupts the hair growth cycle and makes future sessions less effective.
If you keep waxing regularly, you’ll notice smoother skin for longer and less sensitivity over time.

🌿 Your Smooth Criminal Routine

Here’s our go-to rhythm for the best results:

  • Exfoliate 24 hours before your appointment (nothing too harsh).

  • Keep your skin hydrated daily.

  • Rebook your next wax before you leave — it’s the easiest way to stay on track.
