Pre-Wax Preparation
Exfoliation
Gently exfoliate the waxing area 24 hours before the appointment. This helps to release trapped hairs and helps to prevent ingrown hairs.
Check Hair Length
Hair should be 1/4 inch long — the length of a piece of rice. This will ensure the hair is long enough to be removed by the sugar wax during the service.
Shower
Ensure the waxing area is clean.
Wear Loose Clothing to Appointment
After waxing the skin will be sensitive and wearing loose clothing will help prevent ingrown hairs.
Things To Avoid
No Shaving
Avoid shaving the area 2 weeks before waxing.
Avoid Lotions, Deodorants, & Oils
Applying lotions, oils, or deodorants to the area to be waxed can interfere with the wax gripping the hair.
No Tanning or Excessive Sun
This can cause the skin to become extra sensitive.
