Waxing Do's & Dont's
Do's and Dont's Before an Appointment
Before a waxing appointment, there are some important do's and don'ts to keep in mind:
Do's:
- Let your hair grow out: Make sure your hair is at least 1/4 inch long for optimal waxing results.
- Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the area you plan to wax a day or two before your appointment to help remove any dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.
- Wear comfortable clothing: Wear loose and comfortable clothing to your appointment, especially if you're getting a bikini wax.
- Take a pain reliever: If you're sensitive to pain, consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen before your appointment.
Don'ts:
- Don't shave: Avoid shaving the area you plan to wax for at least two weeks before your appointment. Shaving can make hair shorter and thicker, making it harder to remove with wax.
- Don't use lotion: Avoid using lotion or moisturizer on the area you plan to wax on the day of your appointment. This can make it harder for the wax to stick to the hair.
- Don't use exfoliating products: Avoid using harsh exfoliating products or scrubs on the day of your appointment. This can irritate the skin and make it more sensitive to the wax.
- Don't schedule your appointment during your period: If you're getting a bikini wax, try to avoid scheduling your appointment during your period. Your skin may be more sensitive and prone to irritation during this time.
Do's and Dont's After an Appointment
After a waxing appointment, there are some important do's and don'ts to keep in mind to ensure that your skin remains healthy and smooth:
Do's:
- Keep the area clean: Gently clean the waxed area with a mild soap and water to prevent infection and irritation.
- Moisturize: Apply a soothing moisturizer or aloe vera gel to the waxed area to keep it hydrated and prevent dryness.
- Wear loose clothing: Wear loose and comfortable clothing to prevent friction and irritation on the waxed area.
- Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the waxed area a few days after the waxing session to prevent ingrown hairs.
Don'ts:
- Don't touch the area: Avoid touching or scratching the waxed area to prevent infection and irritation.
- Don't expose the area to heat or sunlight: Avoid sunbathing, using a hot tub, or taking a hot shower or bath for at least 24 hours after waxing as heat can irritate the skin.
- Don't use harsh products: Avoid using harsh products such as scrubs, exfoliants, or perfumed lotions on the waxed area for at least 24-48 hours after waxing.
- Don't shave: Avoid shaving the waxed area for at least two weeks to prevent skin irritation and ingrown hairs.

What sets waxing apart from other hair removal methods?
1. Precision & Smoothness: Waxing removes hair from the root, providing longer-lasting results compared to shaving or depilatory creams. Say hello to weeks of smooth skin!
2. Finer Regrowth: Unlike shaving which can result in coarse regrowth, waxing often leads to finer and softer hair as it grows back.
3. Delay in Regrowth: With waxing, the regrowth process is slowed down. Enjoy extended periods of hair-free bliss, allowing you to focus on the things you love without constant upkeep.
4. Reduced Ingrown Hairs: Waxing helps minimize ingrown hairs, contributing to a smoother and bump-free skin surface.
5. Exfoliation Benefits: The waxing process also acts as a natural exfoliant removing dead skin cells and leaving your skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated.
