Getting the most out of your wax starts before you even walk through the door. Our specialists including experts like Corina, a dedicated waxing professional since 2009 are here to make sure every visit is as smooth and comfortable as possible. Follow these simple tips and you’ll be in great shape.
DOs
- First and foremost, your hair should be at least ¼ inch long, about two weeks of growth after shaving. This gives our proprietary custom-blended wax the best grip for a clean, complete result.
- If possible, take a shower just prior to your appointment. Hot water opens pores and allows hair to come out easy, making it less painful for you.
- Some clients experience a slight irritation after waxing, lasting a few minutes to a day, depending on skin sensitivity. We offer products to reduce or prevent these effects. We offer products specifically selected to reduce or prevent these effects, ask your specialist at your next visit.
- Take an aspirin or Tylenol 30 to 45 minutes before your appointment to minimize discomfort.
- Consider joining our Smooth Move Membership, clients who wax regularly on a consistent schedule experience less discomfort over time as hair grows back finer and sparser. At $49/month (women) or $59/month (men), it’s the easiest way to stay smooth year-round.
DON’Ts
- Users of Retin-A, Renova, Differin, or Accutane are advised not to wax, as these medications tend to weaken the skin and tearing may occur when wax is removed.
- Ladies: If you wax when you are on your period, not only you are more tender, hormones make your hair more coarse, causing the wax to break the hairs rather than pull them out. Avoid waxing within two days of the beginning or end of your period.
- Don’t apply lotions, oils, or skincare products to the area being waxed for at least several hours before your appointment. Clean, product-free skin helps our wax bond properly for the best result.
- If you bleed, bruise, or have skin that tears easily, waxing may not be the ideal form of hair removal for you. Some physicians do not recommend waxing for persons suffering from diabetes or who have varicose veins or poor circulation, as they are more susceptible to infections. Check with your doctor first if you have a health condition.
- Avoid hot tubs, pools, the ocean, or any body of water for at least 24 hours after waxing, especially after a bikini or Brazilian wax. Heat, chlorine, and salt can irritate freshly waxed skin and increase sensitivity.
After Your Wax
- Avoid tight clothing over waxed areas for the rest of the day, breathable fabric helps skin settle.
- Skip intense workouts for 24 hours. Sweat can irritate freshly waxed skin.
Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning beds on waxed areas for at least 24 hours. - Begin gentle exfoliation 48–72 hours after your wax to help prevent ingrown hairs. Ask your specialist for product recommendations.
- Your next appointment is typically 4–6 weeks out, your specialist can advise based on your hair growth pattern.
