Waxing Tips

Apply an ingrown hair remover 48 hours after waxing to prevent the potential for ingrown hairs.

Don’t wear tight pants or panties for the next few days.

Don't use heavily perfumed or thick lotions in bikini area may cause ingrown hairs or irritate skin.

Don't workout after waxing (unless prior positive experience).

Don't touch a newly waxed area if hands are not clean.

Don't wax after Tanning, Laser Resurfacing or Chemical Peel.

Don't apply deodorant to newly waxed underarms or use products containing alcohol after facial waxing.

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 apply moisturizer beforehand.

24 – 48 hours after waxing, gently exfoliate the area again.  This helps prevent ingrown hairs.

Do make us aware if you have experienced difficulties with your waxing treatments in the past.

Do leave plenty of time before Special Events or Occasions to allow for any unforeseen circumstances, breakouts, illness, etc.

Do use a sun block after waxing if exposing skin to sun within 24 – 48 hours to avoid hyper-pigmentation.
