  • How long should my hair be before waxing?

    Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about the length of a grain of rice) for the wax to properly grip. Avoid shaving for 2–3 weeks before your appointment for best results.


  • What’s the difference between a Bikini, French Bikini, Brazilian, and Bare Brazilian?

    Bikini Wax: Cleans up the sides outside the bikini line.


    French Bikini: Cleans up 1-2 inches inside the bikini line but removes more than a standard bikini wax.


    Brazilian Wax: Removes all hair from front to back, but may leave a small strip in the front.


    Bare Brazilian: Complete hair removal — fully smooth front to back.

  • Is waxing painful?

    There’s some discomfort, especially for first-timers or sensitive areas. At Spa La La Tampa, we use high-quality wax and expert technique to make your experience as quick and gentle as possible.

  • How long do results last?

    Most clients enjoy smooth skin for 4 - 5 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. With regular waxing, regrowth becomes softer and more sparse.

  • Can I get waxed if I’m using Retin-A or acne medication?

    If you’re using Retin-A, Accutane, or strong exfoliants, please let us know before your appointment. These can cause skin sensitivity, and waxing may not be advised. We’ll recommend safe alternatives or adjust the treatment as needed.

  • What areas of the body do you wax?

    Face Waxing: Brows, lip, nose, chin, ears, neck, sides of face


    Body Waxing: Underarms, back, chest, abdomen, shoulders, bikini area, Brazilian, legs, fingers, toes

  • What should I do before my waxing appointment?

    - Exfoliate gently 24 hours before

    - Avoid caffeine and alcohol the day of (they can increase sensitivity)

    - Wear loose, breathable clothing

    - Skip heavy lotions or oils on the area being waxed

  • What should I avoid after waxing?

    For 24–48 hours post-wax:

    - No hot tubs, pools, steam rooms or overheating workouts

    - Avoid sun exposure or tanning

    - Skip tight clothing over waxed areas

    - Avoid exfoliating or harsh products until the skin calms
