⚠️ Allergy Notice
Please be advised that multiple products used during our waxing services contain lavender. If you have any sensitivities or allergies, be sure to indicate them clearly on your client intake form prior to your appointment. This helps us make any necessary product substitutions for your safety and comfort.
Failure to complete the required forms in advance may result in cancellation or rescheduling of your appointment.
✅ Pre-Waxing Instructions
Following these tips will help ensure a smooth, effective wax with minimal irritation:
- Avoid applying self-tanners, body sprays, deodorants, or other topical creams on the area to be waxed.
- Wait at least 2–3 weeks after shaving, or ensure hair is at least ¼ inch long (about the length of a grain of rice).
- Plan your waxing appointment 2–3 days before sun exposure or beach/pool activities to allow your skin time to recover.
- Avoid tanning beds, hot tubs, and saunas before your appointment to prevent skin sensitivity.
- Gently exfoliate the treatment area 24 hours prior to your wax to remove dead skin cells and allow for a cleaner removal.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment to reduce friction and irritation afterward.
✅ Post-Waxing Aftercare
Proper aftercare helps extend your results and prevents irritation or ingrown hairs. Here's how to care for your skin after waxing:
- It’s normal to experience mild redness or sensitivity for 24–48 hours after waxing.
- Avoid heat exposure, including tanning, sunbathing, saunas, and hot tubs, for at least 48 hours post-treatment. Waxing removes the top layer of dead skin cells, making your skin more susceptible to burns.
- Refrain from hot baths, showers, or intense exercise for 24 hours after your wax to minimize irritation.
- Apply a cold compress or hydro-cortisone cream if sensitivity or redness occurs.
- Moisturize daily to keep your skin hydrated. We recommend Just the Strip™ nourishing oil, specifically formulated for freshly waxed skin.
- Begin exfoliating gently 48 hours after waxing to prevent ingrown hairs. We offer a curated selection of exfoliating products for waxed skin—ask your esthetician for recommendations!
