Important Information to ensure you get the best results from your waxing.

Pre (before) wax care

• Exfoliate your skin with an exfoliating glove or scrub in-between appointments.

• Pre-book your waxing to ensure correct hair-growth time between appointments.

• Routine waxing helps the skin get accustomed to the procedure andminimize  irritation.

• Exfoliate and moisturize a day before you come in for your waxing. This will ensure the best result on the day.

• If you are sunburnt, wait at least 48 hours before getting waxed.

Post (after) wax care

• Avoid the sun immediately after waxing and wear sun screen.  Recently waxed areas are prone to hyperpigmentation if exposed to the sun or solarium.

• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools and other heated sources for at least 24 hours.

• Regular exfoliation is necessary to remove the superficial dead skin cells preventing ingrown hairs from occurring. We recommend exfoliating 2 to 3 times per week.

• Don’t swim in chlorine or salt water for 24 hours after waxing, as pores are open and susceptible to infection.

• It is advisable to avoid waxing 2 days before and after menstruation, as the body is more sensitive to pain.

• Regular exfoliation is necessary to remove the superficial dead skin cells preventing ingrown hairs from occurring. We recommend exfoliating 2 to 3 times per week.

• It is advisable to moisturize daily.  An AHA cream can be used if you suffer from ingrown hairs.
