Don’t shave for 2 to 3 weeks before your appointment. This is important for the next step!
Once your hair is at least ¼ of an inch long, (size of rice grain) you can come in for a wax. If it’s longer than ½ an inch, you may want to trim (not shave) the area for a more pleasant experience.
Avoid tanning within 24 hours of your appointment. Tanned skin will be more sensitive during the wax.
Exfoliate your skin with a body scrub (Twodays before your appointment.) This makes hair removal easier, and will prevent ingrown hairs from appearing)
Shower the day of your appointment is possible. Avoid using hot water as this can increase the sensitivity of your skin.
We also offer wipes you can use upon arrival so you can freshen up before your wax. Portable bidets are available for purchase.
We suggest skipping alcohol or coffee the day of your appointment.
While this is optional, you can choose to take an over-the-counter pain medication 30 minutes prior to ease the pain of your wax. Do what makes you feel best!
Wear loose fitting clothes to your appointment. Cotton fabric is the best material to reduce friction and sweat on freshly waxed skin.
