Waxing

What Clients Should Do Before Waxing

• Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the area to be waxed a day or two prior to your appointment. This helps prevent ingrown hairs. Also, refrain from applying lotions or deodorants on the day of your appointment.

• Hair Length: Ensure hair is at least 1/4 inch long (roughly the length of a grain of rice) for optimal results.

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of the sun for at least 24 hours before your waxing session to minimize skin sensitivity (not mandatory).

What to Expect During the Appointment

• Consultation: Your esthetician will discuss your preferences, assess your skin, and outline the process.

• Waxing Process: The esthetician will apply warm wax to the targeted areas then swiftly remove it. You may feel a brief sting (many describe the sensation manageable).

• Comfort Measures: Feel free to communicate with your esthetician if you experience any discomfort; they may adjust their technique.

Recovery After Waxing

• Aftercare: Apply a soothing lotion or aloe vera to the waxed area to calm the skin. Avoid hot showers, saunas, or strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours.

• Sun Exposure: Keep the area protected from sun exposure for a day or two to avoid irritation and pigmentation.

• Exfoliate Regularly: Begin gentle exfoliation about two to three days post-waxing to help prevent ingrown hairs.

Tips: Wear loose-fitting clothes for a day or so to minimize friction on the waxed area.

By following these guidelines, clients can enjoy a smoother skin experience and love their results!
