WAXING PREP & POST CHECKLIST

For a more safe and comfortable waxing experience, please follow these tips. 

Before Your Appointment

  • 2-3 weeks prior to your appointment discontinue shaving, tweezing or using cream hair removers to the area/areas you plan on having waxed. The hair needs to be AT Least 1/4 inch to wax (the length of a grain of rice).

  • 72 hours before your waxing appointment, discontinue use of ALL prescription Retin-a, Renova, Differin, Tazorac or over the counter retinols, alpha hydroxy or beta hydroxy products (please call or email if you have any questions regarding other medications or skin care that may not be listed)

  • If you are taking any prescriptions/medications please receive approval from your doctor before scheduling your waxing service

  • Discontinue use of indoor/outdoor tanning booths (3) days prior and (2) days after waxing

  • Don't drink alcohol or coffee before your waxing service. Alcohol/Coffee dilates the blood vessels and leads to poor circulation and makes the skin more sensitive.

  • Showering right before your appointment is NOT recommended. The goal is to preserve your skin's natural moisturizers for a more comfortable waxing experience.

  • Avoid tight fitting clothing. For Bikini/Brazilian, bring clean cotton panties to change into after the service. Disposable underwear/panty liners will be available if needed as well. Wear breathable clothing and panties during appointment to prevent excessive sweating.

  • For those that spray/self tan please note that waxing will remove sunless tanner. Its recommended to wax 48-24 hours prior to sunless tanning services.
