What’s Included in an Underarm Wax
Our underarm waxing service is designed to deliver consistent, clean results every time. From prep to aftercare, here’s what you can expect during your appointment at House22.
Gentle Wax Application
We use soft wax specifically formulated for delicate areas like the underarms. Applied in small sections, the wax gently adheres to the hair (not the skin) for a more comfortable removal process.
Hair Removal from the Root
The wax is removed quickly and precisely, pulling the hair from the root. This method not only gives you a smoother finish, but it also helps reduce regrowth over time.
Precision Tweezing (If Needed)
If there are any stray or fine hairs left behind, your specialist will use gentle tweezing to perfect the finish — no missed spots, no rush.
Calming Aftercare
Once your waxing is complete, we apply a soothing, anti-inflammatory serum or lotion to calm the skin, reduce redness, and help prevent irritation. We’ll also share aftercare tips to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.
Waxing vs. Shaving: Why It Matters
Many clients come to House22 after years of irritation from shaving. If that’s you, you’re not alone — and you’ll notice a difference immediately.
Here’s why waxing wins:
- Longer-lasting results: Waxing removes hair from the root, keeping your skin smoother for 2–4 weeks (vs. shaving, which lasts 1–2 days).
- No razor burn or stubble: Say goodbye to itching, redness, and shadowing after a shave.
- Finer, slower regrowth: Over time, hair grows back softer, lighter, and less frequently.
- Better for sensitive skin: Our wax is formulated to reduce inflammation and help keep pores clean.
- Cleaner finish: Waxing removes dead skin cells, too, giving you a smoother texture and more even tone.
If you’re prepping for an event, vacation, or just want to reduce your daily upkeep, waxing is a smarter, more effective option.

Pre & Post Care Tips
What to Know Before — and After — Your Underarm Wax
A few simple steps can make a big difference in comfort, results, and how long your skin stays smooth after your wax.
Before Your Appointment
Avoid Deodorant
Skip deodorant and fragrance products on the day of your appointment to avoid irritation and allow for better wax adhesion.
Exfoliate Gently
Exfoliate your underarms 24 hours before your appointment to lift dead skin and help prevent ingrown hairs after waxing.
Check Hair Length
Hair should be about 1/4 inch long (grain of rice length). If it’s longer, we’ll trim it for you during your visit.
Trust the Process
Feeling nervous is normal. Our team will guide you through every step to ensure a comfortable, professional experience.
After Your Appointment
Skip Deodorant
Avoid deodorant or antiperspirants for 24 hours post-wax to let your skin breathe and recover without irritation.
Hydrate Your Skin
Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer or aloe-based product to soothe the area and reduce redness after waxing.
Avoid Heat & Sweat
Hold off on workouts, saunas, and hot showers for 24 hours to avoid sweat-related irritation or clogged pores.
Exfoliate Later
Wait 48 hours before exfoliating again, then gently exfoliate 2–3 times weekly to help prevent ingrown hairs.
Maintain Consistency
To keep your underarms smooth and hair regrowth soft, schedule regular waxing every 3–4 weeks.
