Can You Wax During Your Period? Here’s the Honest Answer
It’s one of the most common questions I get asked, usually whispered right before a client lies down: “Can I still get waxed if I’m on my period?”
The short answer is: yes, you can. But there are a few things you should know first.
1. Extra Sensitivity
Your body can feel more tender when you’re on your period, thanks to hormone changes. This means waxing might feel a little more uncomfortable than usual — but it’s still completely safe.
2. Fresh & Clean
I’ll always provide wipes in the room so you can freshen up before we start. A fresh tampon or menstrual cup is a must so that you’re comfortable throughout. Pads can be used for basic and extended bikini waxes if needed.
3. Privacy & Comfort Come First
This is a judgment-free zone. I’ve seen it all before, and my job is to make you feel as calm and relaxed as possible — whether it’s day 1 or day 28 of your cycle.
4. Tailored Care
I’ll use my usual routine of gentle cleansing, protective pre-wax oil, low temperature wax and soothing post-care — making sure your skin is looked after properly.
5. It’s Totally Your Choice
If you’d rather wait until after your period, that’s absolutely fine too. But if you need your wax done while it’s happening? I’ve got you covered.
Your cycle shouldn’t stop you from feeling smooth, confident, and cared for.
