Waxing in Sanford, NC

Hard wax. Skincare-grade post-care. A boutique day spa where your wax doesn’t end with aloe and a "see you next time."

Why our waxing is different

01
Technique

The right wax for the right area

We use hard wax for sensitive areas (Brazilians, bikini, face, underarms) because it’s gentler and grips hair more than skin. We use strip wax when the situation calls for it, like fast leg or back coverage. Whatever’s best for your skin and the area being treated.

02
Aftercare

Skincare-grade post-care, not just aloe

Every Cabana wax ends with professional-grade post-care: calming serums, ingrown-hair prevention treatments, and skin-conditioning products. The kind of care most spas leave you to figure out on your own.

03
Inclusion

Everyone is welcome here

Waxing is for every body. Every gender. Every skin tone. Every shape. Every experience level. We use anatomical, inclusive language across our menu, and our team is trained to make every client feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. First-time waxer? Returning regular? Trans or non-binary? Body-conscious? You belong here.

04
Day spa

One-stop boutique day spa

Get your wax, then your facial, then your spray tan in one visit, at a single boutique location with one shared booking system. Most wax studios in Sanford do waxing only. We do the whole day.

Feature · Skincare for the bikini line

Brazilian + Vajacial

A Vajacial is a facial for your bikini line, designed to treat the ingrown hairs, red bumps, hyperpigmentation, and irritation that come with bikini waxing. Most spas call aloe and moisturizer a "Vajacial." We don’t. Our four-tier menu starts at $85 for the basics and goes to $175 for the full clinical experience. Vajacials are available with several of our estheticians; ask when booking.

Before and after your visit

What to do before your visit, and how to look after your skin once you leave.

Pre-careRead this before your appointment
  • Don’t shave between waxes

    Shaving disrupts the hair growth cycle and makes future waxing more painful. Stick to waxing only; your hair will get finer over time.

  • Hair length matters

    Your hair should be at least ¼ inch long (about a grain of rice) for the wax to grip. If you’ve been shaving, give yourself 2 to 3 weeks of growth before your first wax.

  • Exfoliate 24 hours before

    Gently exfoliate the area 24 hours before. Dead skin can prevent the wax from gripping well; exfoliating helps and prevents ingrown hairs.

  • Arrive clean and dry

    Shower the day of your appointment. Don’t apply lotion, oil, or self-tanner to the area you’re waxing.

  • Want it to hurt less?

    If it is safe for you, take ibuprofen 30 to 60 minutes before; check with your doctor or pharmacist first if you are not sure. Avoid caffeine; it makes you more sensitive. Schedule waxes for the week AFTER your period if you’re hormonally sensitive.

Skip your visit if
  • You’re using Accutane, or have in the last 6 to 12 months
  • You’ve used retinol, Retin-A, or glycolic acid on the area in the last 7 days
  • You have an active skin infection, sunburn, or open wound
  • You’ve had recent laser treatment (within 7 days)
Post-careYour skin needs you for 48 hours
  1. First 24 to 48 hours
    • No heat: skip saunas, hot showers, hot tubs
    • No sweating: skip the gym for the day
    • No swimming: chlorine and salt water irritate freshly waxed skin
    • No sex / friction: let the area calm down before tight clothes
  2. 3 to 5 days after
    • No exfoliating, scrubbing, or shaving the waxed area
    • Use only gentle, fragrance-free cleansers
    • Apply SPF 30+ daily on any sun-exposed waxed skin
  3. Going forward
    • Exfoliate 2 to 3× per week starting 48 hours post-wax
    • Hydrate: drink water and moisturize daily
    • Stick to a 4 to 6 week schedule for best long-term results
    • Use the Cabana Aftercare Kit (included with Vajacial Signature & Premium)

Frequently asked

Straight answers from the pros who do the work.

Hard wax hardens on the skin and is removed without strips, gripping mostly the hair (not the skin). It’s gentler and ideal for sensitive areas: Brazilians, bikini, face, underarms. Strip wax uses fabric strips to remove wax + hair quickly, great for legs, arms, or backs. We use whichever is right for your skin and the area.

The first time is the worst; after that, your hair grows back finer and waxing becomes much more tolerable. Hard wax + an experienced waxer + ibuprofen 30 minutes before (check with your doctor first if you are not sure it is safe for you) = a much better experience than most clients expect.

Every 4 to 6 weeks is the sweet spot. Hair needs to be at least ¼ inch to wax effectively, and waxing more frequently than 4 weeks doesn’t give enough regrowth. After 6 weeks, hair gets thicker and more resistant.

A Vajacial is a facial for your bikini line. It treats ingrown hairs, post-wax hyperpigmentation, irritation, and texture issues, using the same skincare science we’d give your face. Our Brazilian + Vajacial menu starts at $85 (basic) and goes to $175 (full clinical experience with Hannah).

Yes, but you’ll be more sensitive. Many clients book the week after their period. If you’re on, just wear a tampon or menstrual cup; we handle the rest with discretion.

Anatomy. Brazilian (V) is for clients with a vulva. Brazilian (P) is for clients with a penis (also called men’s Brazilian or manzilian). Both fully remove hair from front to back. Technique and time differ slightly; that’s why pricing differs.

Probably some, especially in the first few weeks. The way to prevent them: exfoliate 2 to 3× per week starting 48 hours after your wax, use a Cabana Aftercare Kit, and avoid shaving between waxes. Clients who do all three rarely get ingrowns.

Yes, see our Brazilian Wax Passes. Buy a 4-pack ($249) or 7-pack ($389) and save up to $101.

Cancellations within 24 hours of your appointment are charged 50% of the service price. No-shows are charged the full service price. Card on file required. Full policy at our Cancellation Policy page.
