Pre-Wax Care

Treatments last only 15-45 minutes, depending on the area you want to be waxed.
The hair should be at least 1/8” to 1/2 inch long for waxing to be effective.

To ensure our client's waxing experience is pleasant and successful, here are some tips:

• Exfoliate the area to be waxed the day before or the day of service
• Stop shaving the area 10 days prior to waxing.
• If pain tolerance is low, take ibuprofen 30 - 40 minutes before service
• Avoid exposure to ultraviolet rays (sun or tanning beds) for at least 24 to 48 hours after the service.
• Client's using the following medication should wait about 7-10 days before getting treatment: - Retin-A - Renova, or - Antibiotics
• Clients taking/using Accutane please consult with your medical provider.

Post Wax Care

Please wait 24 to 48 hours after getting wax to do the following:

• No tanning beds, saunas or steam rooms.
• Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools or the beach 
• Avoid heavy exercise
• Don’t use products with harsh chemicals perfumes, or dyes.
• You will want to exfoliate any area waxed after 48hours to prevent ingrown hairs and continue to do so at least 2 to 3 times a week.
  

If you still have some tenderness you can use a cold compress to soothe the area.

Once you start waxing, NO MORE SHAVING! It distorts the hair growth. Heavy lotions, creams aren't necessary in the brazilian area but if you want to apply something, it is best to use aloe vera or jojoba oil.
