Waxing Do's

       

• DO exfoliate; gently exfoliate the skin prior to waxing.

• DO let your hair grow; For Waxing, the hair needs to be approximately ¼ inch long. Please allow about two weeks of hair growth before your visit. 

• DO use a sun block after waxing if exposing skin to the sun within 24 – 48 hours to avoid hyper-pigmentation.

• DO leave plenty of time for Special Events or Occasions to allow for any unforeseen circumstances, breakouts, illness, etc.

• DO make us aware if using Accutane, Retin-A, Differin, Glycolic Acid, Renova, Salicylic Acid, Avage, Apricot Scrub, Neutrogena Scrub, Avita, Strivectin, Tazorac, Pro-Active, Benzoyl Peroxide, or any other topical or oral medications that can affect the outcome of a waxing treatment.

• DO make us aware if you have experienced difficulties with your waxing treatments in the past.

• DO exfoliate; 24 – 48 hours after waxing, gently exfoliate the area again.  This helps prevent ingrown hairs. Apply an ingrown hair remover 48 hours after waxing to prevent the potential for ingrown hairs

• DO keep hands away from touching freshly waxed skin, as this can encourage irritation or small pimples
