Know Before You Go!
BEFORE GETTING WAXED:
-
For body waxing, it is highly recommended that the hair be ¼ inch long (approximately the thickness of a #2 pencil). You will have the most effective wax if you wait this long because every hair is in a different growth stage. From there, depending on hair growth rate, 4–6 weeks is recommended for your following wax.
-
2–3 weeks is the most effective facial waxing span of time (but everyone is different).
-
Lightly exfoliate skin a day before waxing.
-
On day of waxing, refrain from using lotion or greasy oils from areas that you want waxed.
-
Some clients take ibuprofen to reduce sensitivity and inflammation 30 min before their appointment.
You should NOT wax or at the very least you need to let waxologist know, if you are taking medication orally or topically that will affect the skin.
Some in that list include Accutane, Retin-A, glycolic acid, alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), Tazorac, Avage, Differin, Strivectin, Renova, Proactive, Avita, benzyl peroxide and salicyclic acid.
This list contains just those we are aware of, so please let us know if you are taking any of these and if you are not sure, please check with your doctor.
