ABOUT WAXING IN MADISON, WI
What is Waxing?
Waxing is a safe, effective method of temporary hair removal that removes hair from the root, leaving skin smoother for longer compared to shaving. At Ethos Med Spa, we offer professional waxing services for the face and body, including brows, lips, underarms, legs and full bikini treatments - customized for all skin types and sensitivities.
At Ethos Med Spa, waxing is handled by non other than our aesthetic expert - Lakaecia - known for her precision, professionalism, and ability to make even the most intimidating wax feel like self - care. Whether you’re coming in for brows, bikini, or body, Lakaecia brings the perfect blend of clinical technique and calming energy to every appointment.
We use high-quality waxes and expert techniques to minimize irritation and maximize smoothness - because you deserve better than a strip-and-rip experience.
How does waxing work?
Waxing works by applying a thin layer of warm wax to the skin, which adheres to the hair. The wax is then quickly removed, pulling the hair out from the follicle, not just cutting it at the surface like shaving. This root-level removal helps reduce regrowth over time and results in softer, finer hair with consistent appointments.
We use premium-quality wax and expert techniques to minimize discomfort and irritation. Our experienced aesthetician, Lakaecia, is known for her precision, gentle approach, and ability to make waxing feel like part of your self-care routine, not a chore.
What to Expect During Your Waxing Appointment
Consultation: Your appointment starts with a quick chat to review your skincare routine,, hair growth patterns, and any sensitivities. We’ll make sure you’re prepped and ready.
Cleanse & Prep: The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed and prepped with a protective barrier if needed to help reduce irritation.
Wax Application: A thin layer of warm wax is applied in the direction of hair growth. Once it cools slightly, it’s removed in the opposite direction, takin hair with it at the root.
Soothe & Treat: After waxing, we apply a calming product to reduce redness, prevent ingrowns, and leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed.
Pro Aftercare Tips: You’ll leave with expert guidance (and product recs if needed) to maintain your results and avoid irritation.
Top Frequently Asked Waxing Questions

High quality wax that’s formulated to reduce inflammation

It’s not a spa nap - but it’s not as scary as TikTok makes it look, either. Our expert aesthetician Lakaecia uses fast, precise techniques and premium wax to keep discomfort minimal.
