Waxing

Whether you just want to clean up your brows or get rid of unwanted body hair, we have what you need. When it comes to waxing your brows I do all of the work for you. However, if you are wanting to remove body hair, there are some things you need to prepare for. See our pre and post wax lists below.

Prewax
  • Your hair must be at least 1/4" long
  • You should wait at least 4 weeks since your last wax or 3 weeks since you last shaved.
  • Do not engage in heavy exercise, swimming or sun tanning prior to service.
  • You should take a warm shower and lightly exfoliate the skin prior to your wax.
  • Do not apply heavy creams, gels, or oils that may prevent wax from adhering to the hair. We want the service area to be clean and dry. 
  • We do not recommend drinking alcohol or caffeine before the service. Stimulants in the system can make your skin extra sensitive when being waxed. 
  • You shouldn't wax if you are on any skin sensitive medication (Accutane, Retin-A, Hydroxy Acids, Renova, Differin, or antibiotics)

Postwax

Until Next Time
  • Your skin will be a little sensitive and red after the wax. 
  • To minimize irritation you should wear loose and comfy clothing that will allow your skin to breathe.
  • You should avoid hot showers or baths, heavy exercise, swimming, and sun-tanning and should not use heavy creams, gels, or oils.
  • For the first two days after your wax you should avoid exfoliates, scrubs, and loofahs. This includes products that contain acids such as glycolic, salicylic, and alpha-hydroxy. 
  • You can resume your exfoliation routine about three days after your wax. 
  • Feel free to use a clean wash cloth to clean the waxed area with a sea salt and distilled water mixture to reduce redness, bumps, or irritation. 
  • You can pull out ingrown hairs using sharp and clean tweezers. Make sure you pull the hair out in the direction it naturally grows.
  • Developing a regular exfoliation routine that you maintain 3 days after your wax will help prevent ingrown hairs.
  • Remember to book your next appointment in 4-6 weeks!
