TIPS

Pre Wax

  • To assure the best results from your waxing service, please do not shave prior or in between your appointments.
  • Exfoliating prior to your appointment is recommended.
  • Attend your service with clean skin (no moisturiser and preferably no makeup for facial waxing).
  • Hair should generally be at least 3-4mm and up to 10mm, to be waxed effectively. 
  • It is advisable to wait 2 weeks after any IPL or laser treatment before waxing. 

Post Wax

  • Redness is very normal as the skin needs time to settle after waxing (usually 48-72hours). A soothing gel can be applied to assist with this.  
  • Cotton, loose clothing are the best post-wax clothes to help avoid irritation and ingrown hairs. 
  • Avaid chemicals to the waxed region until your skin has settled (this includes perfume, antiperspirants and chlorine)
  • Avoid direct sunlight, hot water, saunas and vigorous exercise until your skin has settled.

Preventing Ingrown Hairs

The best way to discourage ingrown hairs is to honor the post-wax recommendations above as well as exfoliate regularly. Using an exfoliating mitt in conjunction with an ingrown hair serum is a great combination to combat unwanted ingrown hairs. Talk to your beautician about your aftercare and any concerns you may have. 

Do Not Get A Wax If...

Do not get a waxing service if you have used Alpha Hydroxy Acids or Glycolic products in the past 48-72 hours, or if you are using RetinA, Renova or Accutane in the past 4 weeks, or are sunburnt.
