Before waxing

​

         Waxing removes hair from the follicle and removes the entire hair from the root, so preparing your skin is essential to avoid waxing bumps and irritated skin.

​

*Shower before your appointment but skip the lotion you'll get better results if your skin is less oily.

 

*Let your hair grow

For the best results, your hair should be at least 0.5 cm long before waxing so that the wax can grip and remove it easily. 

 

*Exfoliate your skin. Gently exfoliate your skin 48 hours before your appointment. This eliminates any dead skin cells that are clogging the pores. Exfoliation also helps to loosen any trapped hairs that could remain stubbornly attached during your treatment. We recommend Ruff Stuff Daily Scrub.

 

*Avoid excessive sun exposure

 

*Avoid coffee and alcohol

 

*Wear something comfortable

​

​After Waxing

​

          Some slight soreness, small bumps and redness are common and perfectly normal temporary reactions, especially if it is your first wax.

These symptoms usually subside over the 24 - 48 hours following your treatment, but please get in touch if you experience any persistent redness or irritation.

 

You should keep the waxed area clean, and avoid heat and friction during the next 24-48 hours. This means:

 

*No hot baths or showers(cool to lukewarm is ok)

 

*No saunas or hot tubs

*No running ( sunbathing, sunbeams or fake tans)

*No sport, gym or other vigorous exercise)

*No swimming in chlorinated pools

 

*Avoid touching or scratching the treated area

 

*Wear clean, loose-fitting clothes

 

You may notice a small amount of regrowth after a week or so. It can take up to 4 treatments for your hair to get on a cycle that gives the best results.

 

PLEASE DO NOT SHAVE, TWEEZE OR USE HAIR REMOVAL CREAMS BETWEEN APPOITMENTS    as this interrupts the hair's natural growth cycle.

 To maintain your smooth appearance we recommend regular waxing every 4-6 weeks.

​

To prevent ingrown hairs, starting a few days after your appointment, gently exfoliate the skin as much as you can and moisturise the area daily. Treating stubborn problem areas with Ingrown Hair Serum where necessary.
