Most Back Wax appointments take 30 minutes or less at Vanity Private Studio. Our efficient technique includes prep and a calming serum, so expect a thorough yet quick service ideal for busy schedules and monthly maintenance.

Yes — we can usually wax sensitive or acne-prone skin after an assessment. Our estheticians perform a patch test, recommend gentle prep, and use calming serum post-wax. Severe acne or open lesions may require postponement or medical clearance.

Avoid hot showers, saunas, heavy exercise and sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours. Wear loose clothing, avoid harsh products, and gently exfoliate after 48 to 72 hours to prevent ingrown hairs. Apply recommended calming serum and sunscreen as needed.
