Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Sides.

Results vary by hair growth, but most clients enjoy defined sideburns for three to six weeks; waxing often lasts slightly longer than threading depending on individual hair texture and aftercare.

Sensation is subjective; threading can feel sharper but is quick, while waxing pulls a larger surface and may feel more intense. We use numbing options and soothing aftercare to keep you comfortable.

Avoid exfoliating or using retinoids 48 to 72 hours before, cleanse the area, and ensure hair is at least quarter-inch long for effective waxing or threading. Inform us of medications or skin sensitivities beforehand.

Keep the area clean and avoid heavy makeup, sun exposure, saunas, and vigorous exfoliation for 24 to 48 hours. Apply a calming, fragrance-free moisturizer and use SPF to protect the skin while it heals.

Yes in most cases; our technicians assess skin condition and choose the gentlest method. We may recommend patch testing, hypoallergenic products, or spacing treatments to reduce irritation for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Regrowth timing depends on individual hair cycles and genetics; most clients notice return between three and six weeks. With regular appointments, hair may grow back finer and sparser, extending time between visits and improving long-term definition.
