To ensure the best waxing experience, proper preparation is key. Hair should be at least ¼ inch long (about the size of a grain of rice) for optimal removal. Avoid tanning, applying oils, or heavy creams to the area 24 hours before waxing, as this can create a barrier and affect wax adhesion. If you are using Accutane, you CANNOT receive waxing services, as it can cause severe skin lifting and irritation. Additionally, discontinue the use of retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and other exfoliating skincare products at least one week prior to prevent skin sensitivity. If you have a lower pain tolerance, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever 30-45 minutes before your appointment may help minimize discomfort. Lastly, please inform us of any skin sensitivities, allergies, medications, or recent cosmetic procedures to ensure a safe and effective service.

After your waxing session, your skin may be slightly sensitive, and proper aftercare is crucial for maintaining smooth, irritation-free results. Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, excessive sweating, and direct sun exposure for at least 24-48 hours, as your skin is more susceptible to irritation. Refrain from touching or scratching the waxed area to prevent bacteria from causing breakouts or ingrown hairs. Begin gentle exfoliation 48-72 hours after waxing, using a soft exfoliating glove or scrub 2-3 times per week to prevent ingrown hairs and keep the skin smooth. Moisturize daily with a lightweight, fragrance-free lotion to maintain hydration. If redness or irritation occurs, applying a soothing post-wax serum can help calm the skin. For the best long-term results, maintain a regular waxing schedule every 3-6 weeks, as consistent waxing leads to thinner, softer hair regrowth over time.
