The Waxarie
Before you scroll down to book your appointment, you should know:
- Timing: It's best to schedule your waxing appointments every 4–6 weeks. This gives hair enough time to grow back to an optimal length for waxing. Waxing works best when there’s sufficient hair growth (about 1/4 inch), so avoid booking too soon after their last session. After shaving, it's best to come in 2-3 weeks after your last shave.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid tanning or excessive sun exposure for 24–48 hours before the appointment to reduce irritation and prevent sensitivity.
- Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the area to be waxed a day or two before the appointment. This helps remove dead skin and allows for smoother results.
- No Lotions or Oils: Avoid using moisturizers, oils, or lotions on the day of their appointment to ensure the wax adheres properly.
- Avoid Caffeine or Alcohol: Avoid caffeine or alcohol at least 24 hours before waxing, as it can make the skin more sensitive.
- Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing after the waxing to avoid irritation.
- Notify for Medical Conditions: Notify us if you are on any medication (like Retin-A or Accutane) or have certain skin conditions (like eczema or psoriasis) that might affect waxing.
- Pregnancy: For clients who are pregnant, we provide extra support for you during your service.
- Avoid Heat: Avoid hot showers, saunas, or intense workouts for 24 hours after the wax to minimize irritation.
- Exfoliate & Moisturize: Exfoliate & moisturize regularly to prevent ingrown hairs and keep the skin smooth.
- No Tight Clothing: Tight clothing may irritate the freshly waxed skin, so it’s better to wear loose, breathable fabrics.
- 24-Hour Notice: Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule, to allow time for others to book the appointment slot. If you don't advise of your need to cancel or reschedule by the 12-hour mark, your card may be charged 50% of the cost of your service(s).
