BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT: WAXING

BODY WAXING

  • If you’ve been shaving or using hair removal cream, allow the hair to grow for a minimum of 3 weeks before your first wax.

  • Exfoliate the area 2-3 times a week (but not on the day of your appointment) and moisturise daily.

  • Stay out of the sun and use SPF. Sunburned skin cannot be waxed.

  • Avoid using sunbeds for 4 days before your wax.

  • Avoid alcohol in the 24 hours before and caffeine on the day of your appointment (you can grab a latte after, I promise!).

INTIMATE WAXING

  • If you’ve been shaving or using hair removal cream, allow the hair to grow for a minimum of 3 weeks before your first wax.

  • Exfoliate the area 2-3 times a week (but not on the day of your appointment) and moisturise daily.

  • Avoid alcohol in the 24 hours before and caffeine on the day of your appointment (as above, you can grab a cuppa after!)

  • Wear cotton underwear. Avoid lace and thongs - these will irritate the area after waxing. Even better, bring a fresh pair to change into after.

  • Wear something comfortable and loose-fitting to avoid friction and discomfort.

  • Take some paracetamol half an hour before your appointment if you’d like to.

  • On your period? Not a problem! Just pop a fresh tampon or clean cup in.

  • Allow the hair to grow for a minimum of 3 weeks before your first wax.

  • Avoid prolonged sun exposure/sunbeds for a minimum of 4 days before your appointment and be sure to use SPF.

  • Stop using Retinols/Retinoids/AHAs/BHAs a minimum of 7 days before your appointment. If in doubt, check the ingredients of your skincare or contact me.
