Say goodbye to razors and hello to confidence — contact us in Herriman, UT to schedule your waxing session and enjoy long-lasting results!
What Are the Benefits of Waxing?
Waxing is a form of hair removal that removes the entire hair from the hair follicle. Unlike shaving, hair removal creams, or clippers, which bluntly cut the hair at the surface. Warm wax is applied to the skin and “shrink wraps” around the hair follicle allowing the hair to be pulled from the root. Because the entire hair is removed, skin is left very smooth and outlasts any other form of hair removal, you wont believe it till you try it. Waxing services at our salon and spa in Herriman, UT come with a range of benefits that might just make you toss your razor for good. Some of the key advantages include:
- Effortlessly removes unwanted hair without the risk of nicks or burns
- Minimizes the likelihood of ingrown hairs
- Reduces itching and irritation commonly caused by shaving
- Slower, finer hair regrowth compared to shaving
Come in for a wax every 4 weeks for best results. We do experience different growth rates but on average, the 4-week mark is the best time. This timing is based on the 3 stages of hair growth. That age old saying, "third-time’s-a-charm" applies to waxing cycle as well because you are able to get each growth cycle of unwanted hair.
How Do Waxing Treatments Work?
Your comfort is our top priority during every waxing appointment. Our treatments take place in private rooms to ensure a comfortable experience. We have a variety of waxes in both hard and soft wax for different skin types, and hair textures. The wax is gently heated in a temperature controlled wax warmer to spread easily without discomfort, or burning. During your session, our team will cleanse the area being treated, apply a skin protectant oil or powder, and then apply the warm wax to the targeted area, such as the face or underarms. For soft wax, a cloth strip is then pressed over the wax and quickly removed, effectively eliminating unwanted hair and leaving your skin smooth and refreshed. Post wax products are used to remove any sticky residue, and a skin healing serum is applied to reduce redness, inflammation, or irritation.

Other FAQ's:
WHAT DO I WEAR TO MY WAXING APPOINTMENT?
We suggest wearing loose clothing. The skin is usually sensitive post waxing service and you won’t want to wear anything that rubs. Depending on the area being treated, your esthetician may have you dress down to avoid getting wax on any of your clothing, and provide you with a privacy drape or robe.
DOES WAXING HURT?
Yes and no. Waxing does hurt most the first time. There are two reasons for this:
We are removing a lot of coarse hair during the first visit – especially if you’ve been shaving. With repeat visits (including your very next visit), discomfort from waxing is greatly diminished.
It is shocking to have all of your hair pulled out by the root. During return visits, there will be less hair to remove, thus less pain.
To sum it up, yes, your first waxing treatment will hurt and it will take the longest time to complete. In the future, for minimum discomfort and to ensure speedy visits, come in for waxing treatments every 4 weeks.
WILL MY HAIR GROW BACK THICKER OR STRONGER?
Nope! Only hormonal changes – either natural or artificial – can alter our hair. When we experience puberty and our hair changes, we begin to shave and we liken the hair change as the result of the shaving. Shaving blunt cuts our hair and thus leaves a stubble. Waxing pulls the hair out by the root so when it regrows, it is very fine at the tip. With waxing, new hair growth is soft. Each time you wax, the hair will become thinner and thinner!
WILL MY SKIN EXPERIENCE A REACTION?
Yes, it is a possibility. If you have a tendency towards ingrown hairs and irritation from shaving, you are more likely to have the same reactions with waxing, so a pre wax exfoliation 48 hours prior will help minimize this type of skin reaction.
All-in-all, come in like clockwork, every 4 weeks on the dot, exfoliate your skin and moisturize. This will help set you up for waxing success! Plus when you use our recommended home care with Fulvic Elixir, it will soothe any irritation
IS WAXING UNSANITARY?
No! Wax in general is antibacterial, simply because there is zero water in the product. In order for bacteria to grow, some amount of water must be present.
However, on top of that, at Zodiac Spa we practice smart, clean waxing and take universal precautions! We use gloves, disposable sticks, and strips, never use a pre or post care product that we have to scoop out of, clean & prep the skin with disposable esthetic wipes prior to hair removal, disinfect our tools and NEVER double dip!
Zodiac Spa Beauty & Wellness Reviews
Alicia was so great. Actually listened to what I wanted and took care of my hair and it’s integrity in the process.
Savannah does such a good job! She fast and thorough and my color and cut always turns out great. I have never been able to get curls to stay in my hair but she always does.
Summer is super chill and talented. She understood exactly what kind of haircut I wanted and executed it flawlessly. Also, the head massage she gave me was heavenly. She made me feel so comfortable and ensured that I was happy with my haircut. I saw Shannah for a full face wax and lash lift. She instantly made me feel calm with her dulcet voice and gave me the best face waxing experience I’ve ever had. The lash lift also came out looking great. I received a complimentary marshmallow lip treatment as well which felt amazing. She is extremely talented and very knowledgeable about skincare. Just a wonderful person in every way. I also met Jorji for a structured gel manicure and pedicure which was out of this world! Easily one of the best I have ever had. She was meticulous about the details and really took her time to make sure I was happy. I felt so relaxed throughout the pedicure as well. She is so skilled and just a genuinely awesome human being. I love my new nails so much! Overall, the ambience here is really warm and soothing. All the ladies are lovely and really knowledgeable about their craft. I felt so relaxed and happy after every appointment. I truly had a great time here and look forward to going back again soon! 🙂💕
If you go for a massage, request Audrey Jones! She gives the best massages. She listens to you and even works places that need extra attention. I have a shoulder injury and she knew exactly how to handle it without me hurting.
I can't accurately express how much I love Zodiac. I've been coming here for years and every time I discover a new service, I feel more and more taken care of! I moved away from UT for a year and a half, and I'm not even kidding when I say that upon moving back one of the reasons I was so excited to was to be back in state was because I could go back to Zodiac!! I get the best hair care, the best nails, and the best skin care from these ladies - shout out to Alicia, Kaylee, and Shannah for taking care of me consistently. Love love love this place. Quality every time!!
