Get answers to common questions about Side Burns .

Appointments typically take 10–20 minutes, depending on hair density and desired shaping. We evaluate your hairline, confirm the look you want, then precisely thread or wax the sideburn area. New clients may need a few extra minutes for consultation and styling notes.

Both threading and waxing can work well, but threading offers precise control and less skin contact, often better for sensitive areas. We recommend a patch test and will advise the best method based on your skin sensitivity, hair texture, and desired finish.

Most clients return every 3–6 weeks for Side Burns maintenance, depending on hair growth rate and how sharp you want the line. Regular visits help maintain symmetry and prevent noticeable regrowth between appointments.

Absolutely — we customize Side Burns to suit your hairline, face shape, and personal style. Bring a photo if you have a specific look in mind. Your technician will discuss proportions and symmetry before shaping to ensure a flattering result.

Before your appointment, avoid exfoliating or using strong topical treatments for 48 hours. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin and avoid heavy moisturizers. If you're on acne medications, let us know so we can adjust the technique for safety.

Aftercare includes keeping the area clean, avoiding heat, heavy sweating and direct sun for 24 hours, and using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer or aloe to soothe skin. If redness or irritation persists, contact us for personalized recommendations.
