Laser is a more permanent form of removal and requires the use of the most cutting-edge technology by our medically trained aestheticians. Waxing is a more affordable short-term option for hair removal but in the long run, monthly maintenance can add up to be equal to or more than a laser hair removal package. We have interest free financing for clients who would rather pay it off in 6 or 12 months.

You cannot wax the area for a duration of 4 weeks prior to your laser appointment. You cannot wax during your laser treatment period. You will need to shave during this time to make the hair coarser so the laser can remove the hair more effectively and significantly. However, after you have finished your laser treatments, the hair can sometimes grow back sparsely and slowly over the years, and at that point we always recommend waxing for maintenance versus shaving to keep the hairs fine.

This is a personal choice. Diabetics can get laser treatment, but there are some important side effects diabetics should know before proceeding with the treatment. For example, diabetics can feel more pain with laser due to sensitive nerves and tissues and are usually more susceptible to infections due to the slower healing response. Please check with your doctor if you are concerned.

Please be very cautious on vacation; wear SPF 45 or higher in the area being lasered and not to come into your appointment following your vacation with a sunburn, tan or spray/self-tanner.

Ingrown hairs occur from all hair removal treatments, but laser is the lowest chance of causing ingrown hairs, so many of our clients do laser not just for the significant reduction in hair but to help ingrown hairs also. Assuming you are in good health and informing your Laserologist of any changes to your health during laser treatment, you should not see any complications – the device we use is custom to your exact skin type which ensures a safe experience.

You cannot have laser if you are nursing. If you are not nursing, then you can proceed with laser hair removal, but just like waxing, you must also wait until your care provider has given you the all clear.
If you have stopped nursing you still must wait 12 weeks. This 12 week period allows your hormones to balance out so you
can enjoy the full benefits from your laser hair removal journey.
HOT TIP: Once you’ve been given the all-clear from your care provider, we have Zensa Numbing Cream to minimize any discomfort. Purchase it in-store and apply 30 minutes before your appointment time, to numb the area prior to your appointment!

We invite you to book with a Gender Affirming Consultant to ensure you are comfortable. Trans women are women, Trans men are men. We continue to strive to provide a safe space for everybody and every body to feel confident in their skin.
Our Waxologists are experts in all waxing. Brazillians (known as The Brazilliant) is our most requested services for a reason.
We have specifically trained Waxologists for these services and have 3 different types of wax to meet all your hair removal needs. Once you've waxed with us you will never look back! Our services are quick, efficient and virtually painless.
Everyone's pain tolerance is different but what makes WAXON waxes the BEST is they are considered virtually painless, as the wax adheres only to the hair and not the skin.
Plus, we offer Zensa numbing cream—the most effective on the market! Made in Canada, it includes 5% lidocaine and numbs for 1 - 2 hours. You can use it on the most sensitive of areas, even around the eyes! Zensa can also be purchased at any WAXON location.

The Braziliant service removes all hair down there. The Modest Brazilian service removes all hair including between the cheeks but leaves a landing strip or triangle in the front.
We do provide disposable panties for both men and women upon request. Please note, we recommend not to wear these during your service if possible, as they increase service time because your Waxologist has to work around the panty. However we will leave the decision up to you!
Yes, all of our Waxologists are certified estheticians and must graduate from our internal WAXON Training Program before joining our team.
Of course! We have some Waxologists that are specifically trained in male waxing services and yes, that includes 'below the belt' grooming.

with penis or a Pre op trans female, please book a service marked with a P. If you do not identify with either a P or a V, we welcome you to book a gender affirming service so that we can ensure you have the best experience during your service.
YES! The stereotype has been shattered and male grooming is no longer just for the metro-man. Once you manscape you'll never go back!
No, we only have female Waxologists.
We avoid waxing over raised mole(s). We trim any hair coming from the area and wax around it, unless requested otherwise by you.
We recommend not waxing over prominent varicose veins because you risk exposing the vein, which can cause bleeding if it is close to the skin's surface. We will only wax over varicose veins if you request and understand the risks.
Yes, you can! We just want you to be aware that your skin is more sensitive when you are menstruating and your pain tolerance is lower. Just make sure you wear a tampon, tuck the string in and make your Waxologist aware.

There is no perfect time, as everyone’s experience of birth is different. However, we’d recommend leaving it a minimum of six weeks after having your baby before coming for a wax, once getting the go ahead from your care provider. When you do come for a wax, we’ll need to know if you had a caesarean section, assisted birth, or any stitches from a tear or episiotomy. We also recommend that you wait six months to wax directly over any scar. So, if you’ve had a section or episiotomy we will wax around the area until then. However, please do rely on your care provider to answer any of your questions or concerns, as they are best equipped to provide you with clearance to proceed with a wax after birth.
HOT TIP: Once you’ve been given the all-clear from your care provider, we have Zensa Numbing Cream to minimize any discomfort. Purchase it in-store and apply 30 minutes before your appointment time, to numb the area prior to your appointment!
Yes, all of our Waxologists wear gloves and don't double dip so it is safe to work around it.
Yes, you can, but please put make us aware and know the risks involved.
You have a sunburn.
You have been or plan on being in the sun or tanning bed within 24 hours.
If you've recently had treatments such as: chemical peel, Dermabrasion, Microdermabrasion or cosmetic injections.
You are currently taking acne medication such as:
Accutane (affects all body waxing), Retin-A (affects areas the cream is used on) or any other prescribed acne medication.
GOOD NEWS... after 6 months of completing your acne medication, your skin will be less sensitive and less prone to scarring and you will be able to wax again!
Consult your Doctor or Dermatologist about any other concerns.
They sure can! The only time we do not recommend Zensa is if you have a Lidocaine or Benzocaine allergy.
It contains 5% Lidocaine, the maximum allowance in Canada.
It is designed specifically for below the belt services. It needs to be applied thickly 30 minutes before your waxing service.
We typically recommend every 4 to 5 weeks, but hair growth varies from person to person. Depending on how fast your hair grows will determine when you will be ready for your next waxing session. Giving your hair time to grow gives the hairs the chance to break through the skin from exfoliation, be the same length and on the same growth schedule. The result is a clean, smooth finish after your next waxing session.
HOT TIP – Our revolutionary Platinum wax can remove hair as short as 1 - 2mm if you are in desperate need of an 'emergency' wax and need to break your 3 – 4 week routine.
We recommend you do not shave in between waxes because it affects the consistency of your hair growth. Shaving also cuts the hair on the surface causing more of a chance for ingrown hairs.
Wet the desired area then using a sponge, loofah, scrub, brush or glove, rub in the opposite direction of hair growth. This ensures you do not confuse the hair but instead slough off dead skin cells and allow for the hair to grow in free of confusion, decreasing the chance of ingrown hairs!
Try our loofah or body scrubs in delicious scents, exclusively made for waxing care!
We recommend exfoliating daily and applying our Ingrown Hair Serum.
We recommend you wait at least 24 hours before exfoliating because your pores have been opened when the hair was removed and your skin could still be sensitive.
An ingrown hair is where the hair spirals, curls or grows different directions under the skin. It normally appears as a red or white bump or sometimes just appears under the skin but sideways. Shaving is typically the leading cause of ingrown hairs as it cuts the hair at the surface of the skin but does not remove the root.
Other causes of ingrowns hairs are:
- When clothing rubs against the skin after a hair removal service.
- Clothing is too tight and rubbing against the skin on a normal basis.
- Irritation from a product.
To avoid or minimize ingrown hairs try SOUTH Ingrown Hair Serum available to purchase online or in stores.
You aren't the only one in this boat... red bumps post-waxing is totally normal.
When the hair is removed, it is being removed by the root and often times, the follicle can be so deep that it causes an initial shock, resulting in a red bump. The bumps shouldn't last more than 24 - 48 hours. If you find the bump is more than an initial irritation and continues, appearing more like a rash, contact us.
MAGIC! It is a nourishing serum that prevents ingrown hairs and razor bumps while softening the hair follicle.
It also:
- Revives and smoothes skin by removing dead flakes from skins surface.
- Controls excess oil, lessening chance of pore clogging.
- Won't cause acne or blackheads
- Contains exfoliating acids which lightens dark spots resulting in an even skin tone
Try SOUTH Ingrown Hair Serum available to purchase online or in stores.
Tinting is the process of adding a dye to your eyelashes or brows, giving you weeks of colour where you need minimal mascara or brow fill! Tinting naturally adds definition and a fuller appearance.
Yes. All of our Waxologists are certified estheticians and must graduate from our internal WAXON Training Program before performing tinting services. The dye that we use is designed for the eye area, making it completely safe to use.
The tint we use is a vegetable dye, made for the sensitive eye area. It is not like regular hair dye!
Absolutely! There are various colors and our Waxologists will make sure to create your desired look.
There is a chance that your eyes will sting slightly or that the skin near your lashes will become a slightly irritated. We make sure to flush your eyes out with cold water to ease any discomfort.
3-6 weeks. Making this a fabulous option for special occasions, vacations or a low maintenance alternative!
If you have light hair to begin with you’ll see the most notable difference. With dark hair, they will appear more fuller and longer than usual, since most of our hairs are lighter towards the tips.
Yes, you can resume wearing eye makeup but recommended to gently cleanse the eye area when removing and avoid overly exfoliating products which could break down the colour faster.
