WAX the BOUTIQUE

About Me

​

Hi, my name is Cherie and I have been waxing in Vancouver for over 15 years.

I still love every day of it.

I started out at Opus Salon in Yaletown, under the instruction of two well-known Vancouver waxers. I had the privilege of working one-on-one with them, and that is why I think my gentle waxing technique stands out amongst the crowd.

In addition to my training, I use my own fabric strips with the softest material I can find, along with a warm wax for sensitive skin, and a technique that uses smallers strips to lessen any extra and unnecessary pain.

Please check out my Google Reviews or Yelp reviews, if you like.

Some of them may be old, but every single one of those clients/reviewers are still seeing me!

The Studio

​

I practically begged my best friend Steven, owner of LocalBoom Gift Shop to let me transform the back storage room into my cozy little studio :).

I chose his shop because it aligns with many values I hold, such as natural beauty, eco-friendliness, sustainability, supporting local businesses, and it's just the prettiest and best smelling shop around.

I highly recommend you take a peek.

FAQ's

​

How long should my hair be?

At least a 1/4 of an inch (width of a pinky finger), with no shorties hiding underneath the long ones, or wait 4 weeks after shaving or trimming.

​

What about after care?

Stay away from the following for a good 24 hours after a wax...

Sun exposure

Baths

Swimming Pools/Hot Tubs

Exercise, excessive sweating

Bicycles

Sex

Tight or scratchy clothing

Moisturizers

​

Should I exfoliate before or after?

Yes, we love exfoliating!

Wait a week after the wax before starting your routine.

I reccommend using a FINE GRAIN sea salt from the grocery store.

No need to scrub hard, a light touch does the trick.

You can generally skip the labia as it isn't as prone to ingrowns, so you can just focus on the underwear lines.

​

What if I get an ingrown?

Don't touch it! Let me look at it next time around.

If it's bad, try a hot compress.

But whatever you do, DO NOT squeeze it. It could get very angry if you do.

 

Can I get waxed during my period?

Yes!
