Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your appointment at The Wax Box by MC in Etobicoke.

Waxing can cause mild discomfort, especially during your first visit, but with over 23 years of experience, I use gentle techniques to make the process as quick and comfortable as possible. Most clients say the anticipation is worse than the actual wax, and it gets easier with every appointment. If you're new to waxing, I'll walk you through everything step-by-step.

Waxing typically lasts 3–5 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. Regular waxing can help hair grow back finer, softer, and slower over time. Many clients notice a significant difference after just a few sessions.

To get the best results:

  • Exfoliate gently 24 hours before
  • Avoid lotions, oils, or heavy creams the day of
  • Ensure hair is at least ¼ inch long
  • Avoid tanning or sweating right before your appointment
  • Wear loose clothing if you're getting a Brazilian or leg wax

Proper prep helps reduce discomfort and improves results.

Lash tinting typically lasts 4–6 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle. It's perfect for clients who want darker, more defined lashes without mascara. The results are waterproof, smudge-proof, and ideal for everyday wear.

Yes — though most clients love the natural, darkened look and skip mascara altogether. If you do wear mascara, avoid waterproof formulas, as they can dry out the lashes and shorten the life of your tint.

For 24 hours, avoid:

  • Hot showers
  • Saunas
  • Tanning
  • Heavy sweating
  • Tight clothing
  • Scented lotions or products

This helps prevent irritation and ensures smooth results.
