Pre-Waxing Care

Please take a bathe and or freshen up before your any wax treatment
Don’t take Ibuprofen, aspirin or any other blood thinner before waxing, you are more at risk for bruising
Do tell your esthetician if you are using a Retin-A, Tretinoin, Retinol, Salicylic Acid, Benzoyl Peroxide on your face or body
Don’t get wax on your face or body close to a big event
Do tell your esthetician if you have high levels of sugar
If you have been shaving, allow a minimum of 2-3 weeks. Waxing requires some regrowth in order to be effective, as the wax needs at least a quarter inch (2-5 mm) of stubble to adhere to
Do not apply any topical creams before your appointment
Schedule your wax 3-4 days before beach and poolside jaunts if you plan to sun bathe
No tanning beds, hot tubs and saunas before your appointment
Exfoliating the area gently 24 hours before your appointment will remove the dead skin cells
Keep Calm, you can to request a complimentary application of numbing cream before your Brazilian
Wear loose comfortable and clean clothing to prevent irritation after waxing
Don’t drink because alcohol tightens pores

Post-Waxing Care

Avoid the following:

For 48 hours

Fake tan
Sauna
Steam room
Jacuzzi
Hot baths & showers
Applying deodorant or anything perfumed
Massages/heat treatments
Swimming in public pools
Sun beds and sunbathing
Tight clothing that will irritate the area waxed
Exercise that causes sweating and a rise in body temperature

After facial waxing don’t apply make-up other than mineral for the remainder of the day.

Waxing removes dead skin so the skin may be slightly lighter after waxing but will return to normal within a few hours.

A heat reaction may be visible for several hours after and is quite normal, varying from person to person. In the unlikely event this persists beyond 24 hours it could indicate an allergic reaction to the wax and if it worsens then it is advisable to check with a pharmacist, GP or practice nurse.

Every day

Exfoliate gently when you take a bathe with cool water. Begin 24 hours after your treatment to help you maintain your wax and eliminate ingrown hairs. Apply natural oil (argan, coconut, sweet almond etc.) to your skin with clean wash cloth using circular motions.

Important tip

Take proper care of your skin following a wax treatment. If your skin is sensitive, waxing may result in minor breakouts or rashes. For avoid bacteria residing on the skin you can use benzoyl peroxide to help kill bacteria and an anti-bacterial wash with salicylic in it to help with the “post wax bumps.” Like SALICYLIC FACE AND BODY WASH - 6 FL. OZ., Gigi No Bump Solution 4 FL. OZ. or Tendskin 2.5 FL. OZ.

Note

Rest assured - We uphold the highest level of sanitation. We wear medical grade nitrile gloves during every waxing service and all tools are triple cleaned and sterilized and we enforce a strict “no double dipping” policy, meaning that we never dip the same applicator in the vat of wax once it has been used.
