FAQ

Flamingo makes body care for women with hair. We’ve made a collection of high-quality, effective products that start with hair removal. We all have hair in places we want and in places we don’t. And removing it shouldn’t be complicated.

We’re taking a holistic approach to body care and body hair removal. We recognize there is more than one way women like to remove hair, so we’ve designed a collection of easy-to-use and effective products to make that process a little bit more enjoyable.

Our name is a nod to the one-legged pose you make in the shower when you’re shaving your legs.

While we don’t offer samples or trial packages, if you’re not satisfied with your purchase for any reason in the first 30 days, we’ll provide you with a full refund.

Not currently. We’re here to get you what you need, when you want it.

Most of our products are available in Target and Walmart Canada, both in stores and online. We are available in-store only at Walgreens, Duane Reade, Kroger, and Meijer. We recommend contacting your local store to make sure your product is in stock.

Flamingo is the first new brand to launch out of Harry’s parent company, Harry’s, Inc.

Everyone’s hair growth and shaving routines are different, but we suggest changing your blade cartridge every 6-8 uses.

Yes! Each blade cartridge includes a hydrating strip for a comfortable shave.

All of our razor blades are made in the Harry’s factory in Germany, an almost one hundred year old company comprised of engineers who have been manufacturing some of the world’s finest blades for almost a century. The steel comes from Sweden.

Flamingo razors are designed to give you a comfortable, smooth shave anywhere on your body. However, we don’t recommend that you use our blades for shaving your head.

Flamingo blades are compatible with Harry's handles, and vice-versa.

There are five blades in each cartridge.

It’s best to store your razor upright, preferably in a dry place (hard to do in the bathroom, we know!). Our shower hooks, which are included in our Shave Set, can help.

No, though we’re big fans of our Foaming Shave Gel. It helps to hydrate skin and soften hairs for a smoother shave. It also helps keep your blades sharp longer.

We’ve included full ingredient lists underneath each product description. If there’s anything you want to clarify, give us a call or shoot us a note and we’re happy to help.

Make sure that you choose a smooth, clean, dry surface. Glass and flat tiles work best. Rinse the cup with warm water, then shake off the excess and press the hook where you’d like your razor to live.

You sure can.

Hold the base of the handle with the Flamingo logo facing up. Pinch the left and right sides of the plastic, rigid connector below the handle with your thumb and forefinger. Slide that connector piece away from the handle. It should pop off easily.

Flamingo Wax Kits contain all the tools you need to wax at home, including soft-gel wax strips, and post-wax calming and soothing products.

We find our bathrooms to be a little more comfortable than a salon, plus you can wax when it’s convenient for you. Our soft gel formula grabs the shortest and spikiest of hairs, so you don’t have to wait to grow hair out before waxing.

Waxing lasts for up to four weeks, depending on your hair growth.

We’re the first to bring our formula to the US. Our strips are ready-to-use and don’t require any warming. We’ve also designed a custom wavy edge on both ends for an easy grip when you’re ready to pull.

Our wax strips have no added fragrance, parabens, or artificial colors, and contain the following ingredients: Glyceryl Rosinate, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Beeswax, Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate.

It can be! Everyone’s skin is different, so we recommend testing a small patch first to make sure you don’t experience irritation. Pro tips: avoid sunbathing for 24 hours before waxing, and wait 20 minutes after a hot shower.

Hair should be at least 1.5mm long. If you don’t happen to have a ruler around to measure your hair, that’s about the thickness of a quarter.

Take a break from creams with retinol (both over-the-counter and prescription), make sure your skin is clean and dry, and don’t exfoliate or sunbathe right before.

Pull in the opposite direction of hair growth. For legs, this is towards your chest. To minimize the amount of tension on the skin, pull the wax strip parallel to your skin, rather than up.

We don’t recommend it. Our wax is super soft and you’ll probably have a big mess on your hands (and scissors).

Our Body Wax strips are designed for larger surface areas, like legs, arms, and stomachs. We recommend using a Face Wax strip on your bikini line, for a more precise wax. *Remember, our wax strips are for external use only.

Each strip can be used for 2-4 pulls.

Our post-wax cloths are not resealable, so they’re designed for single use. Each can be used on multiple parts of your body if you’re waxing more than one area at a time.

For additional post-wax cloths, you can contact the Flamingo team at help@shopflamingo.com. Don’t want to wait? Use a product with an oily base such as baby oil or coconut oil to remove excess wax.

You don’t have to wait to put clothing back on, but we suggest taking a beat to let your skin breathe (or putting something loose and breathable on).
