Waxing Guidelines

Here are some hints on how to make this service as easy as possible:

• Do not tan 24-48 hours BEFORE OR AFTER Waxing.
• You should not wax any area if you have used ACCUTANE® in the last 12 months, 2 weeks after antibiotics or any area that you have applied Retin-A for 2 months.
• Do not wax if you have lesions or sores.
• Exfoliate the waxed area to prevent ingrown hairs.
• When having a Brazilian wax done, no extra curricular activities for 24 hours afterwards.
• With any waxing avoid hot tubs, soaking, or swimming for 24 hours.
• When waxing, your hair must be at least 1/2 inch long. If you are having your legs waxed you need to allow your hair to grow for 6 weeks before the first wax. Thereafter, every 4 weeks.

For a less painful waxing experience, I use a hard wax instead of a strip wax for all sensitive areas.

Strip Wax – This wax is generally is used to wax large areas like the legs, chest, back and arms. Wax is applied to the area, then a strip of non-woven fabric is placed over the wax and then the hair is removed.

Hard Wax – This wax is used in all sensitive areas, bikini, underarms and face. Wax is applied, hardens – shrink wrapping the hair – then the wax is removed.
