What to expect during treatment
A chin wax at Aurelia removes hair from the root rather than cutting it at the surface, which is why many clients see smoother skin between routines. Expect focused attention to the small treatment area and a brief, targeted process that prioritizes clean, even removal without unnecessary contact with surrounding skin.
Sensitivity and immediate reaction vary by person; some redness or mild tenderness is normal but typically short‑lived. Because our Del Mar clients often schedule around morning commutes or outdoor plans, the procedure is kept efficient and discreet so you can return to work, surfing or errands without lengthy recovery time.
Preparing for your appointment
Before your chin wax, ensure hair is at least a quarter inch long and exfoliate the area to remove dead skin cells. Avoid applying lotions or creams on the day of your appointment so the wax can adhere properly. These steps help the esthetician achieve a cleaner removal and reduce the need for repeat passes.
Timing matters: quick appointments fit well for commuters using I‑5 or the Coaster, and for clients planning surf, golf, or events at the racetrack. Because facial maintenance peaks in May, June and December, booking earlier in those months helps secure preferred times around busy local events and weekend plans.
Aftercare and skin expectations
After a chin wax, gently cleanse and avoid heavy creams on the area for the rest of the day to reduce irritation. Temporary redness or sensitivity is common; if you notice prolonged irritation, follow up with our team for guidance. Over time, waxing often leads to softer regrowth compared with shaving, though individual patterns vary.
This chin wax service is offered for $10 and the session typically takes 20 MINUTES. It’s a practical, brief appointment that works well as routine maintenance between fuller facial treatments or before local events around Del Mar Village and the racetrack.
