What to Do Before Facial Waxing
To ensure the best results, follow these tips before your appointment:
• Avoid using retinoids, exfoliants, or peels 48 hours before waxing.
• Ensure your skin is clean and free of makeup or lotions.
• Let your hair grow to about ¼ inch for optimal waxing results.
• Inform us if you are using products like Retin-A, Accutane, or glycolic acid, as these can increase skin sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Facial Waxing in Sag Harbor, NY
What facial waxing services are available at Shirley's Mind & Body?
Shirley offers a full menu of facial waxing services, including eyebrow shaping and waxing, upper lip waxing, chin and jawline waxing, sideburn waxing, and full-face waxing. Each service is performed with professional-grade wax suited to the delicacy of facial skin. Appointments are private and one-on-one with Shirley at her Sag Harbor studio.
How long does facial waxing last, and how often should I come in?
Facial waxing results typically last two to four weeks, depending on your individual hair growth cycle and the area treated. Eyebrows tend to need shaping every three to four weeks, while areas like the lip and chin may need attention more frequently. Staying on a consistent schedule makes each appointment faster and more comfortable over time.
Is facial waxing safe for sensitive skin?
Yes! With the right technique and wax type, facial waxing can be done safely even on reactive skin. Shirley uses hard wax on sensitive facial areas because it grips the hair rather than the skin, which reduces irritation significantly. If you have a history of skin sensitivity, redness, or conditions like rosacea, check out the sensitive skin waxing page for more details on how Shirley approaches delicate skin.
Does facial waxing hurt?
Facial waxing involves a brief, sharp sensation as the wax is removed. Most clients describe it as a quick sting that fades almost immediately. Areas like the upper lip tend to be more sensitive than others, but the discomfort is short-lived and generally well-tolerated. Clients who come in regularly find that the sensation lessens over time.
How should I prepare for my facial waxing appointment?
Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face and avoid applying any retinol, exfoliants, or active skincare products (like AHA/BHA) for at least 24–48 hours before your appointment, as these can make skin more sensitive to waxing. Let Shirley know about any prescription topicals you're using, particularly tretinoin or accutane, as these may affect whether waxing is appropriate. Hair should be at least a quarter inch long for the wax to grip properly. For full prep and aftercare guidance, see the pre- and post-wax care guide.
Can I get my eyebrows shaped and waxed in the same appointment?
Yes, eyebrow shaping and waxing are typically done together as part of the eyebrow service. Shirley maps the brow shape based on your facial structure and preferences before removing any hair, so the result is both clean and flattering. If you have a specific shape in mind, let her know at the start of your appointment.
