Before Your Appointment
For your first wax, allow your hair to grow AT LEAST three (3) weeks before your first appointment for the best results. Stay on this schedule until you are advised otherwise.
1. Never shave or tweeze between your waxing appointments. This throws off your hair growth pattern and you will never have the smooth skin you want.
2. Never use lotion, body oils on the day of your waxing. These products will interfere with your waxing service.
3. Exfoliate! Always exfoliate on the day of your waxing appointment. Do not exfoliate to point where your skin is sore. It is recommended that you use an exfoliating mitt in the shower on a daily basis to gently exfoliate the skin. Dead skin build-up will not allow the hair to pop through. Do not use a salt or sugar scrub. You will not be able to be waxed with the residue on your skin. If you have or have ever had a problem with bumping (looks like a breakout but what it actually is your follicles reacting to your waxing), bring a tube of Polysporin to your waxing appointment and apply immediately. Continue using as long as the bumps remain. If this happens, it can last up to 2 weeks. After a few waxings, this will stop happening.
4. If you are nervous about your waxing hurting, apply No-Scream Cream 45 minutes prior to your waxing appointment. This will numb your skin and take the discomfort down an average of 80%.
5. Don't wear tight clothes to your appointment. Tight clothes block the hair form getting to the surface and can cause ingrown hairs. Also ensure that your everyday underwear is not too tight so as to avoid ingrown hairs in the future.
