Waxing 101

Aftercare

As your waxer, I'll only see you about once a month. So it's important that you follow an aftercare regimen that is recommended to you at your time of service. You'll want to make sure you are hydrating yourself with drinking lots of water, exfoliating and moisturizing in order to give your skin that gorgeous silky smooth result. This will also help each wax session become easier for you in return. Hydrated, plump skin will have your hairs coming out easier and faster than dehydrated, dry skin. Use your products and follow the Do's and Don'ts below.

What To Do

Gently exfoliate the skin prior to waxing.
Come freshly washed, especially in the intimate areas.
Wear loose fit cotton panties to your appt for bikini/Brazilian waxing, or none at all.
48 hours after waxing, gently exfoliate the area again. This helps prevent ingrown hairs. Exfoliate 2-3 days a week for softer, healthier skin. This allows trapped hairs to come up to the surface to be waxed .
For facial waxing, change pillow case out same night of wax appt so bacteria doesn't go into open pores.
Let your hair grow; For Waxing, the hair needs to be approximately ¼ inch long, which is about the length of a grain of rice. Please allow about 2-3 weeks of hair growth before your visit.
Make us aware if using Accutane, Retin-A, Differin, Glycolic Acid, Renova, Salicylic Acid, Avage, Apricot Scrub, Neutrogena Scrub, Avita, Strivectin, Tazorac, Pro-Active, Benzoyl Peroxide, or any other topical or oral medications that can effect the outcome of a waxing treatment.
Be consistent with your waxing for faster and better results (it's more comfortable when you keep up with your services.)

What Not To Do

DON'T shave before waxing! (hair needs to be long enough for the wax to grab it)
DON'T shave between wax appts.
DON'T tan before waxing or immediately after.
DON'T have sex 24 hours after a bikini wax (plan wax ahead of time)
DON'T expose newly waxed areas to the sun, hot tubs, sauna, suntan booths or extreme heat for 24-48 hours; the areas that have been waxed are both sensitive and vulnerable.
DON'T get chemical peels and other strong facial services after waxing your face.
DON'T go to gym (pores need time to close before you start sweating excessively).
DON'T wear tight fitted panties/pants or leggings for up to 24 hours after your wax. In some cases, right around 2 weeks after a wax you'll also want to avoid tight clothing so hair can break through the surface and not irritate your skin.
DON'T apply deodorant to newly waxed underarms or use products containing alcohol after facial waxing.
DON'T touch a newly waxed area if hands are not clean. This could encourage skin irritation or pimples.
