Pre Wax Advice

• Don’t shave or remove the hair in any other way for 2-3 weeks before your appointment. The hair should be at least ¼ inch. Patience is a virtue – waxing will be painful and not as effective if you haven’t waited long enough!
• Waxing is not advisable if using Roaccutane or Retin-A products in the past 6 months. Threading would be an advisable alternative if on using either of these products.
• On the day of your appointment, exfoliate really well in the shower to loosen up dead skin and lift trapped hairs.
• Area to be waxed should not have been exposed to UV light in the last 24hours.

Post Wax Advice

• Please note that it is normal to experience redness following a waxing treatment
• Apply soothing after wax lotion or gel to calm areas of redness. Only apply aftercare lotions recommended by your therapist. If redness lasts more than 24hours contact the salon for advice
• Avoid sunbathing or using sunbeds for the following 48 hours
• Avoid hot temperatures, for example, steam room/sauna
• Avoid exercising or swimming for the following 24 hours
• Avoid using perfume, deodorants, talc, body sprays and false tan on waxed area(s) for at least 24 hours
• Avoid massage, applying friction to or touching the waxed area(s) for at least 24 hours or until area has calmed down
• Allow at least 4 weeks between appointments for waxing to be successful
