Pre & Post Wax Information

PRE WAX

  • Drink plenty of water!
  • Exfoliate the day of appointment. 
  • Take a pain reliever one hour before your appointment.
  • Avoid caffeine the day of your waxing treatment.
  • Wearing tight clothing or non-breathable clothing to an appointment is not recommended because it can cause chafing and delay the healing process on freshly waxed skin. 
  • Do not apply moisturizer prior to your waxing treatment.
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds 48 hours before your appointment.
  • For facial waxing, avoid chemical peels one week prior to any waxing treatment.
  • Hair should be at least ¼ -  ½ of an inch long before waxing.
  • Please trim the bikini area if you have not shaved/waxed in a while, but make sure the hair is at least ¼ of an inch. If you trim too short, you may have to wait for the hair to grow longer to be serviced.
