Waxing

FACIAL & FULL BODY WAXING AVAILABLE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

Waxing is a safe and effective method of removing unwanted facial and body hair, using heated wax. The warm wax is applied to the desired area using a wooden applicator, and the wax is quickly removed, taking the unwanted hair with it.  We perform Brazilian waxing, facial waxing, as well as other areas.

No worries! Come see us to get your brows back in shape with a comprehensive analysis of shape, tint and wax service!


PRE CARE

  • If you are sensitive to waxing we advise you to avoid it a few days before, or the first day of your menstrual cycle as your pain threshold is reduced.

  • Trim your hair down to ¼ inch before you have a Brazilian treatment. This is very important as it will make your experience a lot more comfortable.

  • If you have been shaving we recommend that you allow 2-3 weeks growth before a wax to allow your hair follicles to reproduce.

  • Leave 4-6 weeks between waxes.

  • If you are going on vacation we recommend you have your treatment 2 or 3 days before you leave to ensure your skin has calmed down.

  • It is recommended to shower and exfoliate the chosen area 12-24 hours prior to waxing resulting in a smoother finish.

  • Do not use moisturizer prior to your treatment as the wax will not sit on your skin properly.

 

AFTERCARE

  • Avoid applying heat to the waxed area for 12 to 24 hours. This includes hot baths, sauna, and steam.

  • 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, antiperspirants, cosmetics, or feminine hygiene sprays.

  • Avoid using harsh abrasive or exfoliants in the waxed area. However, if you are prone to ingrown hairs, the day after your waxing treatment, exfoliate the 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 the 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 4 to 6 weeks depending on the area and your individual hair growth rate. If you have any questions about your waxing service or aftercare at home, please do not hesitate to call your wax technician.
