Waxing Treatments

Tips for a successful
waxing treatment:

• Hair should be between 1/8” to 1/4” in length. Please grow or trim hair as needed  prior to your appointment.

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning booths for 48 hours before and after waxing.

• For safety reasons, no treatments will be performed on clients who have a sun burn or who are using, or have used, isotretinoin in the last 6-12 months.

• Waxing will remove self tanning lotions and spray tans! 

• I advise waiting a minimum of 48 hours after waxing before applying self-tanning lotion or getting a spray tan. 

• Most clients will experience some degree of mild folliculitis (post wax irritation) after their first several treatments on the body as the hair follicles have been “shocked.”

• To minimize folliculitis, please shower the day of your appointment and wear loose fitting clothes;

• 48 hours after your treatment, use an exfoliating cleanser, mitt, sponge as needed in the shower.

• Applying makeup to the face immediately after facial waxing may cause irritation.

• If you are brand new to body waxing, you should plan to start waxing 6-8 weeks prior to vacations/special occasions so you can see what kind of reaction you may or may not have to waxing. This will also help you to have the smoothest outcome as multiple waxing appointments may be necessary to get all of your hair.

• I highly recommend waxing a minimum of 3 days prior to departing for any special events or vacations.
