Preparing for your service~
Are you currently shaving? Allowing three to four weeks for the hair to regrow before your appointment will help you have a more effective waxing. If you have been shaving the hair to be removed it may break off at the skin if it has not been given ample time to grow for good adherence to the wax. Preferred length of hair to be waxed is an inch to an inch and a half for a first service with us. Exfoliation and moisturizing the areas to be waxed also encourage an easier waxing service.
Maintaining a regular schedule may result in the regrowth of finer hair at the treated area. Waxing is not permanent hair removal. If your schedule is not maintained your hair will likely revert to its original, pre-wax thickness. Most clients have regular waxing services every 3-5 weeks. Brazilian waxing schedules are 3-5 weeks apart.
To prepare your BODY for a waxing service, please cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize the areas to be waxed daily up until the day of service. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and moisturizing helps soften the skin for an easier removal that can be more pain-free. (Exfoliation of facial skin daily is not required)
Drink plenty of water daily to help hydrate.
For the safety of your skin, do not have a service after a sunburn or 24 hours prior to use of a tanning bed or sunbathing. if you plan to work out or gardening/lawn mowing, and exercise that will cause overheating/sweating.
Some medications and health issues may make waxing uncomfortable or inadvisable.
If you are using products on your skin to treat acne or for resurfacing such as (but not limited to): Retin-A, Renova, Adapelene, Retinol, Hydroxylacid, Epiduo, please be advised that you may not be a viable candidate. Please note that some people who have had the COVID-19 vaccination report skin sensitivity from waxing. This typically lasts for up to 2 months post vaccination.
If you are using Accutane, or a generic version, or have been off this medication for less than 4 years, you may not be a viable candidate.
