We just want you to be aware that your skin is more sensitive when you are menstruating, and your pain tolerance is lower.

Just make sure you wear a tampon, tuck the string in and make your Waxologist aware.

If you are getting your brows waxed, you must tell us of any medications you’re taking.

We request you arrive 10 minutes early for your appointment.

For those going for their very first wax, you need to be aware of some possible side effects. They are totally normal and are no cause for concern.

If any side effects last longer than 24 to 48 hours, contact your esthetician for guidance on how to proceed.

In addition to your normal skincare routine, there are a few extra products you should use after a waxing appointment to slow hair growth, reduce ingrown hairs, and keep your skin soft and smooth.

EXFOLIATION IS KEY

One of the most important aspects of aftercare is exfoliation. Proper exfoliation reduces the probability of whiteheads, blackheads, and ingrown hairs. It’s best to start a couple days after your appointment, once any irritation and redness has subsided. (ASK US ABOUT BUSHBALM)

If you’re exfoliating in the shower, use a proper exfoliating mitt. For dry brushes, use just before getting in the shower to maximize effectiveness.

Once a day is plenty! Exfoliate too much, and you actually risk irritating skin and causing ingrown hairs.

MOISTURIZE FOR SMOOTH, HEALTHY SKIN

In addition to exfoliation, moisturizers help to keep skin feeling and looking healthy and soft.

Apply your recommended moisturizer after exfoliation for best absorption into your skin.

Avoid perfumed or scented products, or ingredients that dry out skin and leave a barrier on the top layer. (ASK US ABOUT BUSHBALM)

INGROWN HAIR PREVENTION PRODUCTS

For those clients that really struggle with ingrown hairs, there are specific products that help eliminate them.

Some include ingredients that even slow down the hair growth process. Your esthetician can guide you through picking out the right combination of products that best complement your skin type and what it needs! (ASK US ABOUT BUSHBALM)

If you want to get a wax for a special event, plan ahead of time to allow your skin time to heal after your appointment.

AVOID HEAT AND FRICTION ON WAXED AREAS

Your skin will already be slightly sensitized and irritated, and friction amplifies discomfort.

Additionally, your skin is more susceptible to UV rays for a couple days after a wax, so you should avoid lengthy outdoor activities. A good list of activities to avoid for 48 hours is:

No beach days or tanning after a waxing session.

No sports, gym, or other exercise activities.

Avoid leggings and other tight-fitting clothing; do wear clean, loose clothing.

Don’t swim in chlorinated pools.

Postpone sexual activity after a Brazilian or bikini waxing appointment.

KEEP IT CLEAN!

Take extra precaution to ensure that your freshly waxed skin stays clean.

Sweat and dirt trigger skin problems, especially so on newly waxed skin.

Avoid hot showers and baths, and instead use lukewarm or cold water to safely wash.

Contrary to what you would assume, hair grows in multiple cycles.

To get on a good schedule, give at least four appointments for lasting results.

Until then, expect some hair regrowth after a week or so. You probably already know from your first appointment, but hair will have to be at least ¼ of an inch long before your next wax.

Please, tempting as it might be, don’t shave between appointments!
