Pre Care Instructions
Following are some really effective tips to follow before receiving your waxing service (for a more comfortable experience):
~Avoid direct exposure to sunlight within the previous 24 hours
~Sexual activity within 24 hours
~Excessive exfoliation or scrubs in the area within 48 hours
~Shaving the area or using hair removal products within the previous two weeks
~Applying lotion in the areas to be waxed
~If you are able (your doctor says it's okay), taking ibuprofen 30 - 60 minutes before your service tends to alleviate some of the discomfort associated with waxing
~Limit caffeine intake so you are not anxious or jittery. Remember caffeine stimulates the nervous system. Also avoid alcohol.
~Schedule your waxing service within the first 2 weeks after your cycle. You retain less fluid and are less sensitive to discomfort.
~ Don't worry, and don't be shy. We (Estheticians) are only concerned with safely and properly removing your unwanted hair as quickly and effectively as possible.
~If you are happy with the look and feel of the Brazilian or the Hollywood, we suggest you book your appointments every 3- 4 weeks, and not letting hair grow beyond 1/2 inch. Maintenance is key.
Lastly, don't try this at home. You may do more damage than manage to this (shall we say) very important area. Trust me.
