Benefits to Waxing
Long lasting results
- Waxing removes the hair from the root unlike other hair removal options that cut the hair at the surface. This means the hair takes longer (usually 3-6 weeks) to grow back.
Smoother skin
- Waxing also removes dead skin cells and goes beyond hair removal, it incorporates exfoliation, leaving your skin soft, smooth and hairless.
Reduced hair growth over time
- With regular waxing treatments, hair follicles weaken causing hair to grow back thinner, finer and more slowly.
Fewer ingrown hairs
- In the hands of our skilled technician and proper after care, waxing can reduce the frequency of ingrown hairs compared to other hair removal options.
Less irritation
- No harsh chemicals are used that could cause a skin reaction, and no razors that can cause razor burn or nicks. Occasionally slight redness may be present, but usually fades within a few hours.
Before Your Appointment
Skin preparation
- For best results, it's recommended using a mild scrub or exfoliating gloves to remove any dead skin 24-48 hours before your appointment. This will also help prevent ingrown hairs. Moisturize daily to keep skin hydrated, but avoid lotion and other oily products on the day of your appointment.
Hair length
- Hair should be about ¼ inch long (like a grain of rice). If it's too short, the wax may not grip; too long, and it could be more painful.
No retinoid, accutane or any other skin thinning agents
- It is recommended to stop the use of retinoids at least 2 weeks prior to your waxing service. Products like this can make skin more sensitive to pain and can increase the risk of suffering a burn from the wax or other skin irritations.
Loose clothing
- Wearing loose, comfortable clothing reduces friction and irritation after waxing.
Waxing Aftercare
First 24-48 Hours
Keep the area clean
- To prevent irritation or breakouts avoid touching freshly waxed skin and keep the area clean.
No hot water or sweating
- Stick to lukewarm showers to help prevent pores from opening too much. No heavy sweating, working out or saunas, this can cause breakouts and irritation.
No tanning or sun exposure
- Freshly waxed skin is more sensitive and prone to burning.
After 48 Hours
Exfoliate 2-3 times a week
- Using a mild scrub or exfoliating gloves will help prevent ingrown hairs and keep skin smooth.
Moisturize daily
- Use a light, fragrance-free lotion to keep skin hydrated.
Don't shave between appointments
- It disrupts the hair growth cycle and can cause more irritation and ingrown hairs.
Please do not book any waxing services if you are currently using retinoid, accutane or any other skin thinning agents. It's recommended to stop the use of retinoids at least 2 weeks prior to your waxing service. To help the waxing be more comfortable and effective, please make sure the majority of the hair is between 1/4 inch to 1 cm.
