PRE WAXING

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY WAXING SERVICE?
We recommend that you exfoliate the area several days prior to your appointment. Thoroughly clean the area keeping the skin moist, but not greasy from heavy lotions or oils.

HOW LONG DOES MY HAIR HAVE TO BE?
Hair needs to be at least ¼” to ½” for effective waxing. For most people this means waiting 2-4 weeks (minimum of 2 weeks) from the last time you shaved. The longer you wait, the better the results.

CAN I GET WAXED IF I’M ON MY PERIOD?
Yes. However, if you are concerned the increased hormone activity will make you more sensitive; avoid waxing 3 days before and the first 3 days of your cycle.

CAN I GET WAXED IF I’M PREGNANT?
Absolutely. We are used to making our pregnant clients feel as comfortable as possible during their waxing experience.

CAN I TAN BEFORE A WAX?
We recommend that you should avoid sun exposure for 48 hours prior to and after your wax.

 

POST WAXING

HOW DO I PREVENT INGROWN HAIRS?
Ingrown hairs are thin hairs that cannot push through the skin resulting in inflammation. The best way to prevent is to gently exfoliate 2-3 times a week.

WHAT SHOULD I DO FOR AFTERCARE?
Your skin may be sensitive following your wax. Any red bumps or irritation should subside within a few hours. Avoid sun exposure/tanning, hot baths/hot tubs, heavy lotions, and exfoliation for 48 hours following your service.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET WAXED?
This varies depending on area of body being waxed and individual hair growth, however, on average we recommend waxing every 4 weeks for best results.
