WAXING AFTERCARE

You Did It!

You’ve survived your waxing appointment! We’ve provided you with an AMAZING service, but it doesn’t end here; you MUST do your part at home for optimal results. Here are some guidelines for you to follow to avoid ingrown hair, infection, and discomfort!

  • Keep the waxed area clean for the next 24-48 hours, and try to avoid tight, restrictive clothing.

    Clean, breathable cotton garments are best (or none at all if possible). Avoid spandex, lace, nylon, etc. The more you can avoid these types of clothing in general, the better.

  • Avoid extremely hot baths, showers, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, gyms, exercise, sunbathing, or sun beds for the next 24-48 hours.

    Activities that will cause you to sweat a lot are not advised, as bacteria, oils, and dirt can irritate your freshly waxed area and increase the chance of ingrowns, infection, and discomfort. Sunbathing and tanning are not advised, as your freshly waxed skin is FAR more susceptible to burning.

  • Avoid wearing perfume, body spray, makeup, deodorant, etc., on any waxed area for at least 24 hours.

    These products can cause stinging, infection, and irritation.

  • Don't touch!

    We know it’s soft, but please try to avoid touching the freshly waxed area for at least 24 hours, especially with dirty hands.

  • No sexual contact.

    Sexual contact is not recommended in the first 8–24 hours, as many people find the friction irritating.

  • After the first 24-48 hours, you must begin some type of exfoliation routine.

    You will need to gently exfoliate the area 2-3 times a week and moisturize daily. We retail various exfoliation products formulated for our most sensitive and delicate areas. Depending on your needs, we will customize a home care routine just for you!

Pro-Tip

Properly exfoliating and moisturizing your skin will not only improve the tone and texture of your skin and prevent ingrown hairs, but it will also keep your skin in prime condition to be waxed and give you better results the next time you come in. Properly caring for skin results in less pain, less hair breakage, fewer ingrown hairs, and less irritation!

Waxing Tips for First-Timers

Please be advised that you may see growth within the first week. It takes a good 3–4 sessions to start seeing optimal results. For Brazilian waxes, you will need to come in every 4-6 weeks, avoid shaving in between appointments, and follow your home care instructions. Once you have been waxing for 2 months, you will see a noticeable difference in the amount of growth and texture of the hair. Most people experience 2-3 weeks of bare, smooth skin before any significant amount of hair is visible.
