Before We WAX!
Once you feel ready to tackle waxing, we want to aim for a hair length of somewhere between half and a quarter of an inch. You can either trim the hair manually or shave to the skin and wait about 3 weeks for it to be the appropriate length.
Most waxing places choose to remove unwanted body hair with a warm strip of sticky honey wax. This style tends to take your skin off along with the hair. This wax has the ability to make even the toughest person wince. Here, we make a point of using the best waxes on the market, with high-quality care throughout your service to leave your sensitive areas less irritated!
Our waxes utilize the softening power of essential oils to soak into your skin, allowing the service to be much less painful- but still leaves the skin seriously smooth!
General guidelines
♡ It has been at least 4 weeks since your last wax or about 3 weeks since you last shaved.
♡ For best results, your hair must be at least ¼" long.
♡ You are not on any skin thinning medications or prescribed steroids! (ie: Accutane, Retin-A, AHA's)
♡ You have not engaged in sun tanning, heavy exercise or swimming, and have no plans to within 24 hours of the service.
♡ Try to have a warm shower & lightly exfoliate the skin. This will allow the hair to exit the follicle with less resistance which will cause less breakage- leading to smoother skin for much longer!
♡ Please do not apply any moisturizers your skin before coming for a wax. The hairs may not be able to stick to the wax due to the oils in the creams.
♡ If you find waxing to be extremely painful, take an ibuprofen 30-45 minutes prior to your appointment. If you're still nervous, feel free to reach out with questions.
♡ To keep the pain to a minimum, do not drink coffee/alcohol or smoke before any waxing service. Believe it or not, they are all considered to be stimulants! Stimulants in your system can cause the skin to be extra sensitive.
