Wax Guide
How should I prep for a wax?
Pre-Waxing Tips
-  Do not shave or wax for at least 3 to 4 weeks before to your treatment.
- For Brazilian and bikini waxes, please trim any long hair to minimize discomfort. Hair should be no more than 1/2″ or less than 1/4″ of growth.
- Female clients may be 10x more sensitive during, before, and after 5-7 days of menstruation. Please schedule accordingly.
-  Limit your caffeine intake the day of your waxing service. Caffeine stimulates the nervous system and increases sensitivity.
- Alcohol intake actually makes you more sensitive rather than numbing any pain.
Please make sure you havent used Retin-A/Renova for at least 30 days. Use Accutane for at least one year. Use peels (glycolic, AHA, etcetera) or dermabrasion on the area for at least 24 hours. Consume excessive amounts of alcohol or sunbathe for at least 48 hours. Use self-tanners, exfoliants or moisturizers the day of the service – they can cause irritations to the sensitive hair follicles that are open after waxing.
 
Wax After care- 
- Minimize skin irritation by applying aloe vera or hydrocortisone cream to the treated area.
- You may wash the waxed area, but refrain from using harsh cleansers or creams for 24 – 48 hours.
- Stay away from hot tubs, hot showers, hot baths, sunbathing and tanning for at least 24 – 48 hours.
- Prevent ingrown hairs by avoiding exfoliation for 2 – 3 days and then exfoliating the area regularly.
- Avoid shaving in between waxing treatments.
- Pre book 4 weeks out for your next appointment so you don't miss the time period where the hair is perfectly long enough to wax. If too much time passes in between waxes, the longer hair can be more painful to wax and is likely to have hair breakage. We also cannot guarantee you the best appointment slots for last minute appointments.
