Waxing Tips

• Hair must be at least 1/8" long to be waxed.

• Avoid sun exposure 48 prior to appointment.

• Lightly exfoliate areas to be waxed several days prior to appointment.

• Advise your skin therapist if you:

                        - Are Diabetic

                        - Are taking antibiotics

                        - Are or have recently used products with Retin-A or Accutane

Will I get a smooth wax every time?

The best way to guarantee a smooth wax is to come in regularly. Our hair naturally grows in different cycles and by waxing every 4-6 weeks we are able to get all of the hair growing on the same cycle (after about 3 regular waxes) and then all the cycles are pulled out at the same time and grow back in at the same time.

How long will my wax last?

Once all of your hair is on the same growth cycle (after about 3 regular waxes) it is usually gone for about 3 weeks and starts to grow in and is ready to be waxed again on the 4th week.

What should I know AFTER my wax?

Most clients don’t experience any reactions beyond minor irritation and redness, although we cannot predict or guarantee who may react.

Please follow these guidelines to minimize irritation and possible breakouts:

• Avoid the sun immediately after waxing and please wear sun screen; recently waxed areas are prone to hyperpigmentation (permanent darkening of the skin) if exposed to the sun.

• Avoid heavy exercise for at least 24 hours after waxing. Sweating can cause irritation.

• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools and other heated sources for at least 48 hours.

• Excessive heat and chemicals can cause irritation.

• Do not use exfoliating products (AHAs, scrubs, etc) and loofas for at least 24 hours after waxing. After that time frame, regular exfoliation may be helpful especially on legs, arms and bikini area to ease ingrown hairs.

• Avoid tight clothing after waxing, especially in the waxed areas. Tight clothing may result in irritation and ingrown hairs.

• Avoid tanning or spray tanning the for 24 hours. Tanning beds may burn the waxed area. Your open follicles can absorb a spray tan and result in a blotchy or uneven tan.

• Avoid intercourse for 24 hours. 

• Routine waxing helps the skin get accustomed to the procedure and may minimize irritation.
