HOW LONG SHOULD MY HAIR BE BEFORE MY WAX?

If it is your first time waxing, it’s preferred for clients to stop shaving, trimming, or use of nair 4 weeks before a wax appointment. If you have waxed before, it’s reccomended to scheulde your waxes 4 weeks apart so the hair is long enough to wax and can insure all hair growths get on the same cycle for the best waxing results.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY BRAZILIAN/BIKINI WAX?

-Take a warm shower at least 2 hours before your wax. This will help your pores open up & soften your skin.

-Wear loose clothing or bottoms

WHAT DO I DO AFTER MY WAX?

-Some things to avoid for at least 24- 48 hours is working out, anything that causes excessive sweating, going to a sauna, going to the pool/beach, tanning booth, or sun exposure to area. After a wax, all your pores are open and your skin is sensitive. Sweat can sit in your pores and can cause breakouts or skin irritation.
