Before your wax/sugar

Hair Growth

You need some hair growth for the wax to hold on to. Recommended length is about a 1/4 of an inch. Or a rice grain/eyelash for a visual. Usually about 2-3 weeks after shaving. 4-6 weeks after wax/sugar. Trimming yourself before service is NOT recommended, as it can cause hair to be shorter than the wax can hold on to. Trimming will be done for you if needed. 

Menstrual Cycle

You can still wax while on your period as long as you have a fresh tampon in before service. However, you might experience more pain since you’re more sensitive around this time (days leading up and few days after). 

Exfoliate

For a more precise wax, we recommend exfoliating 24 hours before your service. Exfoliated skin results in hair being removed, without the disturbance of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin; for a cleaner more precise wax. This applies mostly for body waxing. 

Pain Preventers

If you are worried about pain, you can take ibuprofen 30 minutes before service. You can also use a numbing solution of your choosing 10 mins prior to service. Or you can purchase some in studio. 

Reduce Acidity

It is best to avoid anything that causes too much acidity in the body’s system. That includes smoking, caffeine and alcohol. The stimulants in the system can cause the skin to be extra sensitive to waxing or sugaring. Taking Tums 20 minutes before service will aid in reducing acidity, resulting in less skin sensitivity. Always remember to drink lots of water!!

Regrowth

Be mindful that hair grows in different cycles. You may notice faster growth after your first wax vs your second or third. It‘s not the hair that’s just been waxed that‘s already growing, but hairs from a previous growth cycle. It’s recommended to do 2 or 3 waxes/sugars before any special events like wedding, travel etc.
