How should I prepare for a wax?
Do Not shave the area. Refrain from shaving the area for 2-3 weeks before service. The hair should be no shorter than 1/4” long in order to obtain a clean wax.
Do not drink caffeine. Caffeine stimulates the nervous system and sensitivity.
Ladies will have a significant increase to sensitivity the week prior to menstruation and during their menstrual cycle.
Before a wax?
Please do not use any topical medication including but not limited to:
Retin-A, Retinol with in 30 days to service
Chemical peels, microdermabrasion 7 days before service.
Self tanners, spray tan, or moisturizers 24hrs before service
After care….
Minimize friction and sun to the area for 24hrs or until the irritation has subsided.
Do not use heavy creams to soothe the area. You can test a small area with aloe vera gel to ensure you will not have a reaction.
Do not submerge area in non sterile water like pools, lakes and or hot tubs 24hrs after waxing.
Showering is recommended but not required directly after waxing. Please use mild soap without harsh exfoliants up to 48hrs after.
