Waxing treatment advice

Before Waxing

  • First wax may take a little longer than subsequent waxes

  • Your hair should be the ideal length for waxing to work and to minimise any discomfort, leave it to grow 3 weeks before your wax appointment with us.

  • Exfoliating is recommended 3 times a week especially before waxing treatment.

  • Do not moisturise on the day of your appointment.

  • Let your wax technician know if you are taking any medication that can affect your waxing results, such as blood thinners, Retin-A or Accutane (or similar products).

  • Wear loose fitting clothes

  • Take a warm shower before waxing. This will help to open the pore for easy hair removal; you will be given wipes to freshen up with anyway.

  • You can be waxed during your period, although you may be a little more sensitive and a waxing could be more painful.

  • Relax during your waxing service, because tense muscles make the area more sensitive.

  • The results normally keep getting better at least until your 4th wax.

After Waxing (24-48 hours)

  • Avoid all heat treatments including sunbathing, sun beds, steam baths and saunas.

  • Avoid swimming in public pools as chlorine may irritate the area that has been waxed.

  • Do not apply perfumed soap, body lotion, talcum powder or deodorant to the treated areas.

  • Use only lukewarm water for a bath or shower.

  • Do not apply make-up to any treated area.

  • Try to avoid touching skin that has been waxed.

  • Wear loose-fitting clothes.

  • After waxing use any lotion in the first 24 hours.

  • Start to exfoliate and moisturise your skin 48 hours after you had the treatment done to prevent ingrowing hairs.

  • Use antiseptic cream on facial areas until redness subsides.
