PRE-WAXING TIPS

What to do before your wax:

• Do not use Retin-A or Renova on your face at least 7 days prior to waxing. There is a risk of taking off skin if you use these products.

• If you are on Accutane it is best to speak with your Physician prior to waxing

• Do not use peels (glycolic, AHA, etc.) or dermabrasion on the waxing area up to 24 hours prior.

• Allow 3-4 weeks between waxing and/or shaving. A quarter of an inch outgrowth is required for bikini, legs and underarms.

• For bikini waxes, if your hair is long it is best to trim so that the waxing is more comfortable.

• Female clients may have heightened sensitivity during the week prior to or during menstruation.

• Although we do our best to remove residue after your wax, you may find spots that might be slightly sticky. Please mention it to your technician so she may assist with removal of the wax

 

POST-WAXING TIPS

 

What to do after your wax:

• You must exfoliate in between your wax. This is very important especially for bikini area as ingrown hairs may be an issue

• You must avoid hot showers, baths, saunas, steam rooms, and UV exposure for 24 hours after your wax

• You cannot apply self tan lotions or deodorant over the area for 12 to 24 hours

• Give the hair time to grow back. Let it grow at least a quarter of an inch for fine hair and half an inch for coarse hair before your next waxing appointment. If the hair is too short all the hair will not be removed and may break during treatment
