Hair Removal
Don’t hide! We have the best hair removal services for men and women, which are designed for waxing away facial and body hair to instantly reveal that radiant skin.
Pre-Wax Prep
- Cleanse and gently exfoliate the area to be waxed the morning of the appointment.
- Use no products on the area to be waxed on the day of the appointment.
- Take a pain reliever 30 minutes before the time of the appointment.
- The hair length to be waxed should be at least ¼ of an inch long.
- Try not to wax three days before, during, and three days after your menstrual cycle.
Ensuring Maximum Comfort
To ensure maximum comfort, and benefit after the treatment, it is important to follow the steps below at home:
- Avoid applying heat to the waxed area for 12 to 24 hours. This includes hot baths, sauna, and steam.
- Use an anti-acne lotion for the face, back, and chest following the treatment and twice a day until breakouts are gone. Use only an anti-acne product recommended by your skin care professional.
- Avoid sun tanning for 12 to 24 hours. This includes any strong ultraviolet (UV) light exposure or tanning bed treatments.
- Avoid applying highly fragranced products to the waxed area. This includes perfume, scented body lotions, anti-perspirants, cosmetics, or feminine hygiene sprays. Only use professional products, recommended to you by the skin care therapist who performed the waxing service.
- Avoid using harsh abrasives or exfoliates in the waxed area. However, if you are prone to in-grown hairs, the day after your waxing treatment, exfoliate newly waxed area with a loofah to avoid future problems.
- Avoid applying high SPF sunblock to the waxed area for 12-24 hours after the waxing service. Sunscreen chemicals can be irritating to newly waxed skin. This includes self-tanning products and tan accelerators.
- Any pinking of the skin should disappear within 6 to 8 hours after the waxing treatment. Slight pinking is normal and indicates that the hair was removed from the root rather than superficially broken off, as in shaving. This is the reason that professional waxing lasts so much longer.
For best results, Repeat your professional waxing every four To six weeks, depending on the area and your individual hair growth rate.
