Tips Before your Wax:

​

Preparing properly before a waxing session can help ensure a smoother experience and better results. Here are some essential tips to consider before your next wax appointment:

​

• Length of Hair: Ensure your hair is at least 1/4 inch long but no longer than 1/2 inch. This length is ideal because it allows the wax to grip the hair effectively without causing too much pain.

​

• Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the area to be waxed the day before your appointment. This removes dead skin cells and can help prevent ingrown hairs.

​

• Moisturize: Keep your skin hydrated in the days leading up to your wax, but avoid moisturizing on the day of your waxing session as it can interfere with hair removal.

​

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of the sun 24-48 hours before waxing to avoid sensitizing your skin, which can lead to excessive redness or irritation post-wax.

​

• Check for Skin Sensitivity: If you have sensitive skin, or are using products with retinoids or acne treatments, consult with your esthetician before your appointment as these products can affect skin sensitivity.

​

• Pain Relief: Consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen, about 30 minutes before your appointment to help minimize discomfort.

​

• Wear Comfortable Clothing: Choose loose, comfortable clothing on the day of your wax to avoid irritation on the waxed areas post-session.

​

• No Alcohol or Caffeine: Avoid consuming alcohol and caffeine before your waxing session, as they can increase skin sensitivity.

​

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water before your appointment to keep your skin hydrated, as hydrated skin tends to have a less painful waxing experience.

​

• Timing: Try to schedule your waxing session at least a few days before or after your menstrual cycle, as skin can be more sensitive during this time.By following these tips, you can help ensure a more effective and comfortable waxing session.

Tips After your Wax: 

​

Taking proper care of your skin after a waxing session is crucial for maintaining smooth and healthy skin. Here are some essential post-wax care tips:

 

• Avoid Heat: For the first 24-48 hours after waxing, avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and direct sunlight, as your pores are open and more susceptible to irritation and bacteria.

​

• Stay Cool: Apply a cold compress or aloe vera gel to soothe the skin if you experience redness or discomfort after waxing.

​

• Wear Loose Clothing: Choose loose, soft clothing to avoid friction and irritation on the waxed areas.

​

• No Swimming: Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools or the ocean immediately after waxing to prevent irritation and infection.

​

• Avoid Physical Exertion: Skip the gym or any activities that cause excessive sweating for at least 24 hours after waxing. Sweat can irritate freshly waxed skin.

​

• Moisturize: After the initial 24 hours, keep the waxed area moisturized with a fragrance-free, gentle lotion or cream to keep the skin smooth and prevent ingrown hairs.

​

• Exfoliate: About two to three days after waxing, gently exfoliate the waxed area to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs. Continue to exfoliate 2-3 times a week thereafter.

​

• No Touching: Avoid touching the waxed area with unwashed hands to prevent the spread of bacteria and possible infection.

​

• Avoid Tight Clothing: Tight clothing can cause irritation and ingrown hairs. Opt for looser fits to allow the skin to breathe.

​

• Check Product Ingredients: Avoid products containing acids, alcohol, and fragrances that can irritate the waxed area.

 

Following these tips can help you achieve the best results from your waxing session and keep your skin looking smooth and healthy.
