Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prepare for my waxing appointment?
All you need to do beforehand is pick the room you’d like to have your treatment in, clear 2x2m of floor space for your beauty therapist to set up their beauty bed and have a table nearby that they can use to lay out their products and tools.
What products will my beauty therapist use?
Each beauty therapist has their own professional kit, unique to them. To find out what products and tools your beauty therapist will use, view their bio by heading to your upcoming bookings page and clicking on their profile picture.
If you have allergies or sensitivities to certain products, let your artist know by adding a message for them in the ‘notes for therapist’ section at the time of booking.
Can I choose my beauty therapist?
Yes! You can browse beauty therapist profiles by heading to the ‘browse provider’ tab in the ‘therapist’ section of your app (iOS and Android). Once you’ve chosen your preferred beauty therapist you can book them directly from their profile page by clicking the ‘book’ button.
Do I need to supply any products or tools for my beauty therapist to use?
Nope! Your beauty therapist will arrive with everything they need. But if you’d like them to use your own products that’s totally fine too. You can let them know by making a note in your booking request form.
Can I get mobile waxing near me?
Of course you can! No waxing emergency needs to go unsolved – book a qualified beauty therapist to visit you at home, your hotel or even office space through Blys.

Does bikini wax include privates?
No, a bikini wax only includes the border of where your bikini or underwear sits on the body.
Does waxing permanently remove hair?
No, waxing is not considered a permanent hair removal service but as hair follicles thin, it can become permanent for some. Hair grows back slowly over 3-6 weeks.
Is waxing or hair removal better?
Waxing is a form of hair removal, and is considered one of the best hair removal techniques for price, longevity of hairlessness, pain and maintenance.
How long does body waxing last?
Depending on your personal hair growth rate, a wax can last between 3-6 weeks. As you consistently continue getting a wax, your body hair will become thinner and sparser, which often leads to more space between each appointment.
Does waxing hurt?
While waxing is significantly less painful than more invasive treatments like laser hair removal, there is still a low level of discomfort.
In most cases, waxing will feel like having a tough bandage ripped off a hairy part of your body. You might notice more pain if you’re getting waxed in more sensitive areas (such as your pubic region or under your arms).
However, the pain and discomfort are quick and temporary (although you might notice some redness, tenderness or irritation immediately after your waxing treatment).
How should I prepare for a wax treatment?
To get the most out of your wax, it’s important to prepare your skin and yourself ahead of time. Here are a few practical steps you can take to prepare ahead of your waxing session:
- Let your hair grow out for at least four weeks to ensure your therapist can properly remove the hair from the follicle.
- Gently exfoliate your skin a day or two before your appointment to flush away any dead skin cells.
- Stay hydrated, avoid too much caffeine and alcohol in the days prior to your appointment and moisture your skin with non-clogging products that are lightweight and non-greasy.
- Stay out of the sun and avoid getting sunburn in the days prior to your appointment.
- Avoid using products with retinol on your skin the week prior to your appointment (as this can increase the sensitivity of your skin).
- Wear lightweight, flowy clothing to your appointment that is easy to take on and off.
How can I care for my skin after a wax?
After your treatment, it’s best to avoid applying any oils or lotions to the waxed area (unless directed by your therapist). Keep your skin clean and avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing for at least 48 hours (like yoga pants or tights) that may cause irritation and friction on the skin.
Can I contact my beauty provider prior to my appointment?
Yes! 48 hours prior to your booking start time, you will be able to message your provider using the chat function in the app. To access the chat function, open your app and head to the upcoming bookings page, select your booking and then click ‘message provider’.
Your beauty provider will also have the ability to message you prior to your appointment to ask any questions they may have to ensure they can best prepare to achieve your desired results.
What not to do after waxing legs?
It is recommended to avoid hot showers and baths for at least 24 hours after any body waxing. To prevent skin irritation, it is best to avoid tight clothing, sweating or exercise and touching the waxed areas directly after your treatment.
What should your legs look like after waxing?
Your legs may look spotty or slightly red after your waxing treatment, which is a normal skin response to hair removal. This redness should disapate after a day, leaving your body and legs smooth and shiny.
Is waxing better than shaving?
There are benefits to both waxing and shaving, but waxing is considered one of the best hair removal treatments because of the results it produces. Waxing is affordable and only needs to be done every 3-6 weeks, and as treatments are done consistently, your body hair will grow back thinner and sparser.
What happens in waxing?
Your waxing professional will begin by heating up the wax or preparing the wax strips (in the case of skin sensitivities). After applying the warm, melted wax to the desired area, a thin strip of fabric is applied on top, allowing for quick and easy removal of the wax, and your hair along with it! While there may be some discomfort during this process, it should not be a painful experience.
How long after waxing can I shower?
It is recommended to avoid hot showers and baths for at least 24 hours after getting a wax treatment.
