In the world of beauty and skincare, myths and misconceptions often cloud our understanding of the processes. One commonly misunderstood beauty regime is waxing. At That Colour Nails, located conveniently inside Water Tower Place on Michigan Avenue, we are committed to helping you dispel misconceptions and discover the beauty of wax services. So, let’s clear the air and debunk some common waxing myths for our Chicago residents.

Myth 1: Waxing is excruciating

It's time to set the record straight. Yes, waxing might cause a slight discomfort, especially to first-timers, but it's not as painful as often portrayed. At That Colour Nails, our seasoned estheticians use high-quality wax and adopt the best waxing practices to minimize discomfort. They will guide you through the process with ease, making your waxing session virtually stress-free.

Myth 2: You need to let your hair grow out substantially before waxing

Many people believe that they have to let their hair grow to a certain length before waxing, but this is not true. The optimal length for waxing hair is between ¼ to ½ an inch. Long hair can make the waxing process more uncomfortable than it needs to be. Our expert team can provide guidance on pre-waxing prep during your consultation.

Myth 3: Waxing causes skin aging

One of the most widespread misconceptions is that waxing can lead to skin sagging or premature aging. The truth is that waxing does not stretch your skin or make it sag. It simply removes hair from the roots. At That Colour Nails, we also provide post-waxing skincare products that help to hydrate and firm your skin.



Myth 4: Waxing results in thicker hair regrowth

Contrary to popular belief, far from causing thicker regrowth, waxing can actually result in finer and less visible hair over time. The process of waxing removes hair from the root, which can lead to weakened hair follicles. With consistent waxing, the follicles produce finer hair. In fact, regular waxing can even result in reduced hair growth over time.

Myth 5: Waxing at home is just as effective as professional waxing

Although home waxing kits are readily available, they often fail to deliver the professional-grade results you get at a salon. Professional estheticians have the right techniques to ensure efficient hair removal while minimizing pain. Also, the quality of wax used at That Colour Nails is superior to most home kits, ensuring smooth, lasting results.

Myth 6: Waxing is harmful to the skin

On the contrary, waxing can actually be beneficial for the skin. It exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells along with the hair. At That Colour Nails, we use high-quality wax that is gentle on the skin, leaving it smooth and glowing after the treatment.

Myth 7: All Waxing services are essentially the same

This couldn't be further from the truth. At That Colour Nails, we offer a wide variety of waxing services catered to individual needs and skin types. From Full Face Wax, Lip Wax, and Brazilian Wax to Arm Wax, we've got you covered.

Now that we’ve debunked these waxing myths, we hope you have a better understanding of this effective, long-lasting hair removal method. At That Colour Nails, our mission is to provide you with excellent service in a welcoming environment where you can feel pampered and beautiful.
