FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is there anything I should do before my waxing appointment?
Yes.
- Refrain from taking a shower or bath immediately before the treatment. Soaking the hair will soften it, allowing it to break more easily and making waxing less effective.
- Make sure the hair is the appropriate length for waxing.
- Wear loose and comfortable clothing to your appointment.
- Make sure that the area(s) to be waxed are clean.
- There are certain medications and products that should not be taken or used if you plan to have a waxing treatment soon. Topical exfoliants used on the area to be waxed such as Retin-A, Renova, and hydroquinone, oral acne medications such as Accutane, blood-thinning medications, and topical/oral cortisone make the skin more sensitive and increase the likelihood of irritation or other complications. Please check with your doctor if you are unsure whether you should be waxed while on or using a medication.
When Shouldn't I Get Waxed?
•If you are taking Roaccutane (Acne Medication) now or within the last 6 months.
•If you have an active Herpes outbreak.
•If the area to be treated is sunburned.
•If you have had a chemical peel over the treatment area within the past 7 days.
•If you have used any type of Retinol within the past 36 hours over the treatment area
•Any area of the skin showing signs of trauma, varicose veins, open or active acne lesions, eczema, psoriasis or any type of dermatitis will not be waxed.
How long, or short, should my hair be for waxing?
The hair should be at least 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch for best results. If you have coarse hair it should be closer to 1/2-inch for the first few waxes. Once the hair becomes finer it can be waxed at a shorter length. If you shave please allow 7-10 days between shaving and waxing.
How often should I get my waxing treatment?
Every four to five weeks. Regular waxing is essential. The skin will be less sensitive if waxing is done regularly. Over time the hair follicle will have less and less of a grip on the hair to be pulled and the hairs will come out more easily.
Another reason to wax frequently is that you may even experience less hair growth over time.
What should I expect after my first waxing treatment?
Hairless skin! Also, everyone’s skin reacts differently to waxing treatments, but you can expect to have temporary redness and minor irritation for a day or two. Slight itchiness may be experienced as the hair grows out. Proper post-wax care will alleviate these symptoms quickly.
If you’re a bride,attending a special occasion or going on holiday, we recommend receiving waxing services a month before your special day or departure to see how your skin reacts. If everything is fine, reschedule another wax a few days before.
Does waxing hurt?
Your first time may be a bit uncomfortable because we are removing 100% of the hair. By your second visit, the hair has thinned out making it much easier to remove.
Taking painkillers can make the treatment less painful. Taking ibuprofen, in particular, can aid in reducing any swelling that comes about after the wax. Also, make sure to not go hungover. Alcohol is dehydrating and will tighten the pores making the waxing more painful in turn.
Will I get ingrown hairs?
It’s possible.
Waxing removes the entire hair, root and all, from the follicle. Your skin naturally hardens and thickens over the area that was waxed so it is important to keep that area gently exfoliated. Use a gentle scrub in that area about 2 days after waxing and continue to exfoliate 1 to 2 times a week thereafter. Remember, gentle!
Also, use a mixture of tea tree and lavender oil. Both are antimicrobial and antibacterial and will prevent irritation.
Try to wear loose-fitting clothes for a few days after to give your skin a chance to breathe and reduce moisture.
The bikini, lip and underarms are where we tend to perspire the most. Perspiration and moisture cause bacteria to grow. Once that area has been waxed, the follicle is wide open to this bacteria creeping in.
Try to avoid heavy exercise that will increase perspiration and chaffing for about 24-48 hours after waxing.
Will waxing make my hair grow back thicker/stronger/darker?
Absolutely not.
Waxing does not cause you to grow more hair follicles. In fact, if you become a regular waxer, you will notice that your hair will become quite sparse and not as coarse.
When hair is shaved, it is cut off at the thick part of the hair, which is why you can feel stubble the next day. A properly waxed hair is removed from the root, and when the hair starts to grow back it is a new hair, very fine at the tip, so no stubble.
The only things known to stimulate hair growth are hormones: natural or artificial.
How long do the results last for?
Unfortunately the hair does grow back.
This depends on your regrowth but on average hair will be ready to be waxed again in 4 weeks after your inital appointment.
Is waxing sanitary?
Wax in general is antibacterial, simply because there is zero water in our wax products. Bacteria needs moisture to grow. We perform all services using single use gloves, disposable single use wax sticks, disinfect and sterilize all tools between clients, use EPA hospital grade disinfectants, UV light and more.
What is a Hollywood or Brazilian wax?
A Brazilian wax is the removal of most hair growth, leaving only a central strip untouched. A Hollywood waxing treatment removes ALL hair growth in the Bikini area.
What should I do to prepare for a Brazilian or Hollywood waxing appointment?
If it’s your first treatment it’s a good idea to trim the hair to about 1/2 inch in length. This will make it easier to wax and be a little less uncomfortable for you.
CAN I STILL HAVE A BIKINI WAX WHEN I’M ON MY PERIOD?
Of course! You will need to wear a freshly changed tampon before treatment. Just be aware that your skin is at its most sensitive for 3 days before, during and 3 days after your period.
Can I get an intimate wax if I am pregnant?
Yes most certainly, just let your therapist know so that she is aware.
