The Treatment

What Is Professional Waxing?

Professional waxing removes unwanted hair from the root using warm wax applied to the skin. When the wax is removed - either by pulling the strip or the cooled hard wax itself - it takes the entire hair shaft and follicle root with it, leaving skin smooth and hair-free for 2 to 4 weeks.

Unlike shaving, which cuts hair at the surface, waxing removes hair from the root. Over time and with regular treatments, waxed hair typically grows back finer, sparser, and softer. Many clients notice that after years of consistent waxing, hair in certain areas becomes significantly reduced.

At Real Skin Beauty, Aida uses professional-grade hard wax for sensitive areas (Brazilian, bikini, face, underarm) and soft strip wax for larger body areas. The choice of wax matters - hard wax grips the hair without sticking to the skin, which dramatically reduces discomfort and the chance of skin irritation.

How Waxing Works Step by Step

  • Skin is cleansed and prepped with a pre-wax oil or powder to protect it
  • Warm wax is applied in the direction of hair growth
  • Hard wax cools and hardens on its own; soft wax is covered with a strip
  • The wax (or strip) is removed quickly against the direction of growth, taking hair with it
  • Soothing post-wax oil or lotion is applied to calm the skin
  • Any stray hairs are cleaned up with tweezers for a flawless finish

Eligibility

Who Is Waxing Right For?

Waxing is suitable for most adults looking for smooth skin without the daily hassle of shaving. It is one of the most popular hair removal methods at Real Skin Beauty because it is fast, affordable, and delivers immediate results.

Men & Women of All Ages

Waxing is equally popular with women and men. We offer face, body and intimate waxing for all genders.

All Skin Tones

Unlike laser, waxing works on all skin tones. Aida has experience working with all Fitzpatrick skin types.

All Hair Colors & Types

Waxing works on dark, light, fine, coarse, and any other hair type. No pigment is needed, unlike laser removal.

Sensitive Skin

Professional hard wax is formulated for sensitive skin clients. Aida adjusts technique and wax type for reactive skin.

First-Time Wax Clients

New to waxing? Aida will walk you through everything beforehand and make the experience as comfortable as possible.

Regular Maintenance Clients

Many clients schedule recurring appointments every 3 to 4 weeks for consistent smooth skin year-round.

Not sure whether waxing or electrolysis is right for you?

If you want temporary smooth skin that lasts 2 to 4 weeks - waxing is the answer. If you want to stop the cycle permanently - electrolysis is the only FDA-approved solution. Many of Aida's clients start with waxing and later transition to electrolysis for permanent results. Learn about electrolysis →

How Much Does Waxing Cost in Irvine CA?

Waxing at Real Skin Beauty starts from $50 for underarm and ranges to $350 for full body wax. Brazilian wax is $80 - one of the most competitive prices for professional waxing in Irvine and Orange County. All prices are all-inclusive with no add-on charges for pre/post care.

Compare: medspas in Newport Beach and Irvine charge $90–$130 for Brazilian waxing. At Real Skin Beauty you get a licensed esthetician with 20+ years experience at a fraction of the medspa cost.

Brazilian Wax in Irvine CA - $80

Brazilian wax removes all hair from the front, back and everything in between. At Real Skin Beauty, Aida uses professional hard wax for Brazilian services - it grips the hair without adhering to delicate skin, making it far less painful than traditional strip wax. Brazilian wax is one of the most requested services at the studio, with clients coming from Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Tustin and across Orange County.

The session takes approximately 15 minutes. You will be asked to undress from the waist down and given a drape for privacy. Aida is professional, efficient and discreet. New clients often remark that their first Brazilian was much less intimidating than expected.

Bikini Wax Near Me - $70

Bikini wax removes hair along the bikini line - the areas that would show outside a swimsuit. Classic bikini waxing costs $70 at Real Skin Beauty. Hard wax is used for the bikini zone to minimize irritation. If you want more removal beyond the bikini line, the Brazilian option at $80 covers everything.

Eyebrow Waxing & Shaping in Irvine CA

Eyebrow waxing shapes and defines the brow arch precisely and quickly. Aida sculpts brows to complement your natural bone structure. Brow shaping with wax gives a cleaner result than threading for most clients and lasts 3 to 4 weeks. Individual facial zone pricing - ask when booking.

Full Leg Waxing - $100

Full leg waxing at Real Skin Beauty covers ankle to upper thigh and takes approximately 45 minutes. Professional soft strip wax is used for legs. Results last 3 to 4 weeks. Half-leg waxing (below the knee) is also available at $100 for faster appointments.

Underarm Waxing - $50

Underarm waxing removes all hair from the armpit area using hard wax. The service takes about 20 minutes and results last 2 to 4 weeks. For many clients, underarm waxing combined with regular Brazilian or leg waxing is a complete body maintenance routine.

Full Body Waxing - $350

Full body wax at Real Skin Beauty is a comprehensive service that covers legs, arms, underarm, bikini or Brazilian, back and abdomen. The session takes approximately 2 hours. It's ideal for clients preparing for vacations, weddings or events, or those who prefer a single appointment covering everything.

Wax Types

Hard Wax vs Soft Wax - What Aida Uses

Not all wax is the same. The type of wax used directly affects your comfort and results. Aida uses the right wax for each area.

✓ Hard Wax - Used for Sensitive Areas

  • Applied warm, hardens on its own
  • Removed without a strip - the wax pulls itself off
  • Adheres to hair only, not skin
  • Significantly less painful than soft wax
  • Best for: Brazilian, bikini, underarm, face, upper lip, chin
This is Aida's primary choice for intimate and facial zones.

Soft Wax (Strip Wax) - Used for Large Areas

  • Applied thin and warm, removed with a muslin strip
  • Faster for large areas
  • More effective on fine, flat hair on legs and arms
  • Best for: legs, arms, back, abdomen
Not recommended for sensitive or intimate areas.
Why Wax

Benefits of Professional Waxing

🧸

Smooth Skin for 2–4 Weeks

Unlike shaving (which lasts 1–3 days), waxing removes hair from the root. You stay smooth for weeks, not days.

🧪

Hair Grows Back Finer

With regular waxing over months and years, hair typically becomes finer, softer and less dense in treated areas.

Exfoliating Effect

Wax lifts dead skin cells along with hair, leaving skin noticeably smoother and brighter after each session.

📍

No Stubble or Razor Bumps

Waxed hair grows back with a tapered tip, not a blunt edge like shaving. No stubble, no razor bumps, no ingrowns from a blade.

💰

Affordable Maintenance

Professional waxing starting at $50 per session is far more affordable than laser packages, with no long-term commitment required.

Fast Appointments

Most waxing sessions take 15 to 45 minutes. Brazilian wax is typically done in 15 minutes by an experienced esthetician.

Preparation

Before Your Waxing Appointment

Following these simple guidelines before your appointment will make the experience more comfortable and improve your results.

⏱ Let Your Hair Grow

Hair must be at least 1/4 inch (6mm) long - approximately 2 to 3 weeks of growth after shaving. Do not shave before your waxing appointment. Shorter hair cannot be gripped by wax effectively.

💔 Exfoliate 24–48 Hours Before

Gently exfoliate the area to be waxed 24–48 hours before your appointment. This helps prevent ingrown hairs and ensures wax can grip hair properly.

✏ Avoid Retinoids & Exfoliants

Stop using retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or prescription retinoids on the area to be waxed for at least 5–7 days before your appointment. These thin the skin and can cause irritation or skin lifting.

🙊 Wear Comfortable Clothing

Loose, comfortable clothing reduces friction on freshly waxed skin. For Brazilian or bikini waxing, wear loose underwear or bring a change. Tight clothing immediately after can cause irritation.

💕 Manage Sensitivity

If you are sensitive to pain, you may take an over-the-counter pain reliever (ibuprofen) 30–60 minutes before your appointment. Avoid waxing during your menstrual period when skin tends to be more sensitive.

🧖 Arrive Clean

Please shower before your appointment. Do not apply lotion, oil, or deodorant to the area being waxed on the day of your appointment - these create a barrier that prevents wax from adhering properly.

Aftercare

After Waxing - Aftercare Instructions

Proper aftercare prevents ingrown hairs, irritation and extends the smoothness of your wax. Aida will give you specific aftercare instructions at your appointment.

First 24 Hours

Avoid sun exposure, saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs. Skip the gym (sweat can irritate freshly waxed skin). No tight clothing on the waxed area. No makeup on waxed facial areas.

Avoid Touching the Area

Freshly waxed pores are open. Touching the area with unwashed hands can introduce bacteria and cause breakouts or folliculitis. Keep the area clean and dry for 24 hours.

Exfoliate After 48 Hours

Begin gentle exfoliation 48 hours after waxing to prevent ingrown hairs. Use a soft exfoliating mitt or gentle scrub 2–3 times per week between appointments.

Moisturize Daily

Once 24 hours have passed, apply a fragrance-free, gentle moisturizer to the waxed area daily. Hydrated skin helps hair grow back at the surface, reducing the chance of ingrown hairs.

Important to Know

Waxing Contraindications

Waxing is not recommended in the following circumstances. Please inform Aida of any medical conditions or medications at your appointment.

Skin Conditions
  • Active skin infections or open wounds
  • Sunburned skin
  • Eczema or psoriasis flare-ups in the wax area
  • Varicose veins (leg waxing only)
Medications
  • Accutane (isotretinoin) - wait 6 months after stopping
  • Topical retinoids or retinol on the wax area
  • Blood thinners - increased bruising risk
  • Certain antibiotics - skin may be more photosensitive

If you are unsure whether waxing is right for you given a health condition or medication, call us at (949) 444-6191 before booking.

Waxing FAQ

Waxing Questions Answered

Price · Pain · Timing · Location · Booking

How much does Brazilian wax cost in Irvine CA? +
Brazilian wax at Real Skin Beauty in Irvine is $80. This is an all-inclusive price - no extra charges for pre-wax prep or post-wax care. Bikini line waxing is $70.
Does waxing hurt? How painful is a Brazilian wax? +
Waxing causes brief discomfort when hair is removed from the root. A Brazilian wax causes the most discomfort since the skin in that area is sensitive. However, Aida uses professional hard wax which adheres only to hair - not the skin - making it significantly less painful than traditional strip wax. Most first-time clients say it was much less painful than expected. You can take an ibuprofen 30 minutes before to reduce sensitivity.
How long does waxing last? +
Waxing results typically last 2 to 4 weeks depending on your individual hair growth cycle and the area waxed. Bikini and Brazilian waxing often lasts closer to 3 to 4 weeks. With regular appointments over time, many clients notice hair grows back finer and slower.
How long does hair need to be for waxing? +
Hair must be at least 1/4 inch (6mm) long - roughly 2 to 3 weeks of growth after shaving. Do not shave before your appointment. Hair that is too short cannot be gripped by wax and the session will be less effective or not possible.
Is same-day waxing available? Are you open now? +
Same-day waxing appointments are often available at Real Skin Beauty. Call or text (949) 444-6191 to check current availability, or use the online booking link. Aida works by appointment - walk-ins are accommodated when space allows.
Where is your waxing studio near me? +
Real Skin Beauty is located at 18021 Sky Park Circle, Suite N, Irvine, CA 92614. This is in the Sky Park Circle business complex near John Wayne Airport. Free parking on-site. We serve clients from Irvine, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Tustin, Santa Ana, Mission Viejo and all of Orange County.
Is waxing safe for sensitive skin? +
Yes. Aida uses professional-grade hard wax for all sensitive areas including bikini, Brazilian, face, upper lip and underarm. Hard wax adheres to hair only, not skin, which makes it much gentler than strip wax and appropriate for sensitive skin clients.
Should I choose waxing or electrolysis? +
If you want temporary smooth skin that lasts 2 to 4 weeks without commitment, waxing is the right choice. If you want to stop removing hair permanently - electrolysis is the only FDA-approved permanent method and Aida specializes in it. Many clients start with waxing and later transition to electrolysis for permanent results. You can ask Aida at your appointment which is more appropriate for your goals. Learn about electrolysis →
Can I get waxed if I have PCOS? +
Yes. Waxing removes hair regardless of the hormonal cause. However, for PCOS clients with ongoing hormonal hair growth, waxing is an ongoing maintenance routine - hair will continue to regrow. Many PCOS clients choose to transition to electrolysis, which permanently destroys individual follicles regardless of hormone levels. Learn about PCOS hair removal →
