Pre Wax Advice
We need hair to be at least 2mm ( length of a grain of rice) for the wax to remove hair effectively, this is approximately 7-10 days growth.
It’s a good idea to gently exfoliate 24/48 hours prior to your wax appointment this will loosen any trapped hairs & prevent ingrowing hairs .
Take a warm( not too hot) shower on the day of your wax & do not apply any moisturiser.
Please trim hair to approximately half an inch prior to your appointment. If you can’t trim for any reason your waxing therapist will do this for you.
Avoid certain products, cease using retinol and prescription retinoids for 2–5 days before waxing. Some oral acne medications, like isotretinoin (Accutane), thin the skin, so you shouldn’t wax if you take them.
Antibiotics can also impact skin sensitivity, wait a week after you’ve finished your course to wax.
Avoid certain activities, please do not have a hot bath or shower, avoid direct sunlight or sunbathing, saunas or steam baths, and swimming before waxing.
