It is best to allow around 3-4 weeks between waxing and/or shaving.
Roughly a quarter of an inch of hair growth is required for bikini, legs and underarms. In cases where your body hair is very long, it is best to trim it down so that the waxing is more comfortable. If you are unsure about the length of hair, our technicians will trim it for you, but it is always better a bit longer than for it to be too short.
We suggest you avoid alcohol and caffeine 24 hours before your wax.
Do not use a suntanning bed or go suntanning 24 hours before a body wax.
Tend Skin, PFB and manual exfoliation such as exfoliating gloves are recommended. These types of products will help to avoid ingrown hairs.
Keep the waxed area clean, and try to avoid using harsh cleansers or creams for 24 hours after your body waxing treatment.
It is important to remove any perfumes or lotions from your skin prior to waxing.
It is best not to exfoliate the skin for 2-3 days after your wax.
Please ask one of our estheticians for it at the front desk.
Avoid shaving between your waxes, as shaving causes the hairs to become very coarse. Coarse hair can be difficult to wax.
Trust your waxer and relax. Tension can make the experience seem more painful.
