Waxing Protocol

If you're using topical meds or products on the desired wax area that contain: AHA, BHA’s or any resurfacing agents, please discontinue use for 5 to 7 days + prior to your wax appointment. Please consult with your doctor befor waxing
Waxing is not an option for those taking oral acne medication
Please consult your doctor about wax treatments if going through treatment for hormones or acne.
Do not work out or go into direct sun for an extended period of time. Wait until the next day. This is mainly for sensitive skin types but is encouraged for everyone. Take the extra precaution to avoid breakouts or irritation.

Please allow 4 to 8 weeks of hair growth after being waxed or threaded somewhere else. (This includes home maintenance)
Discontinue any & all use of razors, tweezers or any other form of hair removal methods 4 to 8 weeks prior to your appointment.

Do not wear makeup directly after receiving a wax. Wait 24 hours.
Be sure to wash your face the next morning & night. The pores are exposed after a fresh wax & are vulnerable to congestion.
Do not touch the skin or cover the waxed area with hair after waxing to avoid cross contamination.

Allow 3 to 4 weeks of hair growth before your first appointment. If there isn't enough hair the service can not be administered & will be rescheduled.
We do not administer waxes during a heavy cycle. With the exception of light spotting. In the case of light spotting. Wear a tampon to your appointment.
Exfoliate 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. This is VERY IMPORTANT. Gentle exfoliants only.
Wear breathable loose fitting clothing to your appointment. Such as: Joggers, skirts, dresses etc.
Please no topical lotions, creams or oils with the exception of fragrance free, talc free powder.

Cleanse the area with DOVE UNSCENTED SENSITIVE SKIN SOAP or any unscented sensitive skin wash. Use your hands only.
Sleep with 100% cotton underwear or w/o them at all.
Avoid steam, sun & tight fitting clothing. This includes: tanning beds, sunbathing, pools, steam rooms, saunas, jacuzzis, hot baths to avoid cross contamination, infection or irritation.
Please no shaving or depilatory treatments in between appointments. This will reverse the training process & interrupt the hairs growth cycle. This will cause the hair to grow back unruly & resistant.
Exfoliate the area twice a week to maintain smooth skin & to prevent ingrowns
