Waxing is the process of hair removal, using either strip wax or hard wax, to effectively remove the hair from its root.

Hair must be 1/4 inch in length (the length of a grain of rice) to ensure proper removal of the hair.

Your session will begin with a consultation with your skincare therapist to discuss the waxing procedure and to plan a safe and effective session.

The skin is then prepped by first cleaning the area and applying a talc-free powder.

After the session is complete the skin will then be cleansed to remove any wax residue. Next, aloe vera will be applied to calm and soothe the skin.

Your skincare therapist will provide you with thorough aftercare instructions.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of your service as they increase blood flow and sensitivity

Drink Plenty of water

Avoid exfoliating the skin 3 days before your appointment.

Avoid products with retinol for 3 days before your appointment

Come makeup free if you can

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 suntanning 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. 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 hair, the day after your waxing treatment, exfoliate the newly waxed area with a loofah to avoid future problems.

• Avoid applying high SPF sunblocks 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 4 to 6 weeks depending on the area and your individual hair growth rate.
