Waxing near Santa Ana, CA

Waxing prices for Santa Ana clients

Prices from the studio's current menu. The skin consultation is free.

What Santa Ana skin needs

Santa Ana summers are hot, so legs, underarms and bikini line are the most booked areas. Hair should be about a quarter inch long, roughly 2 to 3 weeks of growth. Skip hot workouts and saunas for 24 hours after waxing to avoid bumps.

Clients come from Downtown Santa Ana, Floral Park, French Park and South Coast Metro. Many are Downtown and Civic Center professionals and Floral Park homeowners. The studio is about 14 minutes from Santa Ana, south on the 55 or along MacArthur Blvd. Free parking on site, open every day from 8 AM to 9 PM.

How often and what to expect

Waxing pulls hair from the root, so results last 3 to 6 weeks. With regular visits, regrowth usually comes in finer. If you are tired of waxing forever, Aida also does electrolysis, the only method the FDA allows to be called permanent hair removal.

Who it is for

• Smooth skin for 3 to 6 weeks without daily shaving
• Bikini and Brazilian before vacation or beach season
• Legs, arms, underarms and back
• Brows and small facial zones
• People who get razor bumps from shaving

When to wait: Waxing is not recommended on skin treated with retinoids or Accutane in the last 6 months, on sunburn, cuts or irritated skin, or right after a peel. If you want hair gone for good instead of every month, ask about electrolysis.

How a visit goes

1. Quick consultation. Aida asks about skin sensitivity, medications and when you last shaved, and checks that hair is long enough.
2. Cleanse and prep. Skin is cleaned and lightly powdered or oiled so the wax grips the hair, not the skin.
3. Waxing. Small sections, quick pulls, and pressure right after each one to ease the sting. Stray hairs are tweezed.
4. Soothe. A calming lotion goes on at the end. You get simple aftercare and a suggested date for the next visit.

Aftercare

For 24 hours skip hot baths, saunas, hot workouts, the pool and the beach, and wear loose clothes over waxed areas. Do not use scented lotion or self-tanner that day. From day 2, exfoliate gently 2 to 3 times a week and moisturize daily to prevent ingrown hairs. Book the next wax in 4 to 5 weeks. Questions after your visit? Text Aida at (949) 444-6191.

How to choose a provider near Santa Ana

• Look for a clean, private room and fresh wax for every client, with no double-dipping.
• The person waxing should hold a California cosmetology or esthetician license.
• Ask how long the hair should be and whether they wax over retinoid-treated skin (they should not).
• A Brazilian should take under an hour, with tweezing of stray hairs included.
• If ingrown hairs keep coming back, a good studio will tell you about electrolysis instead of selling waxing forever.

Getting to the studio from Santa Ana

From Santa Ana the drive is about 14 minutes, south on the 55 or along MacArthur Blvd. The studio is in the Irvine Business Complex near John Wayne Airport, at 18021 Sky Park Circle, Suite N, with free parking right outside. Rush hour on the 405 and 55 can add 10 to 15 minutes, so many Santa Ana clients book early mornings, evenings until 9 PM or weekends.

Who does the treatment

Every appointment is with Aida Khazieva, a licensed California cosmetologist and electrologist with more than 20 years of practice. She received a U.S. green card in the EB-1A category for extraordinary ability in cosmetology and electrolysis and wrote the book "I Am an Electrologist".
