what to know before getting waxed…
Before you book a brazilian…
Put the razor down!
Make sure that you have at least THREE weeks worth of hair growth BEFORE the date of your appointment. Simply put, if your hair is not long enough…we can’t wax it (and we REALLY want to wax it).
That means no shaving, no trimming and no tweezing three weeks before your waxing appointment.
We recommend that you exfoliate leading up to any bikini, brazilian or body waxing appointment. Proper exfoliation helps to prevent hair breakage, minimizes pain when getting waxed and produces a much better result.
The day of your appointment you should…
Shower before arrival
Wear loose fitting clothing (avoid lace underwear or denim pants)
Exfoliate the area to be waxed 12-24 hours beforehand
Do not trim the hair in the area to be waxed
Avoid caffeine right before your appointment. Caffeine can increase waxing sensitivity by 50%!
BEFORE YOU BOOK A BROW WAX…
For facial waxing including brows, make sure to discontinue the use of any products containing AHA’s, BHA’s, or retinols (glycolic acid, retin-a, tretinoin, differin, etc.) for at least seven days prior to your appointment. The use of products containing these ingredients can cause skin lifting, burning, scarring, hyperpigmentation, redness, swelling, and other adverse reactions.
Your health and maintaining the integrity of your skin is very important to us. The use of these products will prevent us from being able to provide your service.
