Pre-Waxing Instructions
Here are some helpful tips to ensure your appointment is a comfortable, thorough, and quality wax.
1. Exfoliate the area(s) you plan to have waxed the day of your appointment. This will help the short or stubborn hairs to pull with ease.
2. Avoid any blood thinners such as Asprin as (you may have guessed) it may cause bleeding.
3. Stay away from drinking alcohol and major pain killers such as Vicodin and Codeine as they usually cause bruising during or soon after appointments.
4. Showering right before your appointment would open up your pores allowing the hair to glide out easier than when your pores are closed.
4 Reasons to Wax All Year Long
1. Hair growth: The more you wax on a consistent basis the more you will begin to notice less hair growing back in between waxes. A lot of times this is the goal of waxing in the first place, to get rid of the hair and require less maintenance over time. If you wax regularly and then stop during the colder seasons you will undo everything you were working towards by waxing regularly in the first place!
2. Health of your skin: Waxing not only removes the hair, it also exfoliates your skin. This combined with the removal of the entire hair follicle is what gives you clear, smooth, healthy skin. If you want these results to continue you need to continue receiving regular waxes.
3. Time: Waxing allows you to cut your morning routine short. No more need to wake up at the crack of dawn to give yourself enough time to shave every day. This is especially important for those who are back at school or have kids going back to school as your schedule fills up quick. Waxing only requires a visit to your esthetician every few weeks. Talk about low maintenance!
4. Accident proof: Unlike shaving, when you wax you won’t be left with cuts, rashes, razor burn, red bumps, etc. You can say goodbye to legs covered in band aids or wearing sleeves and/or pants to cover up irritated skin.
