After Care Waxing
Not often do we think about treating our bikini like the diamond that it really is so here we go. Just a few tips on how to have a great bikini wax last.
After waxing no creams or oil should be applied. Your pores are opened and easily to get clogged. If you do this it can result in you getting ingrown’s.
Don’t exfoliate immediately after but be sure to do so within 24 hours.
If you have thick and curly hair you can possibly be prone to ingrown hairs. That’s why I can not express enough how much exfoliating is important. Your hair grows back in a hook curled under state which makes it harder to break through. Please, do not pick this area it will cause discoloration and scars. Make sure that you contact us we have treatments that will help to correct this matter.
It can not be said too much. No tight clothing after your wax. It can irritate your skin. If you also work out after your service be sure to shower immediately remember watch out not to clog your pores.Hair has recently been removed from the follicle and can be easily clogged.
Your bikini area is delicate and should be treated like a precious jewel. Again, we can not express enough how important it is to take careful care of this area. Light exfoliation with your skin dry ( use a loofah,mitts, or mild scrub) should help maintain a bump free bikini line. Along with using a body wash with benzyl peroxide or salicylic acid.
If you have redness or bumps after your wax this is natural. Use 1% hydrocortisone cream along with polysporin or bacitracin. Do not use neosporin it has been known to cause allergic reactions due to the neomycin.
Before Care Waxing
Hair must be a quarter of an inch ( 10-14 days of growth) to adhere correctly to the wax.
Gently exfoliate in circular motions dry ( before you shower standing in the shower) the night before and several times after is also good. This will help keep ingrown hairs at bay.
Please DO NOT trim or clip your hair before your service. To often you make it too short. The more the better. Any trimming that need to be done is also included in the service.
Yes, there will be some pain so please take an advil 30 minutes before your appointment.

How bad does the first time hurt? Seriously.
The first time, depending on how thick your hair is, it can be uncomfortable but not unbearable. The typical “pain” of a brazilian is largely overhyped and when performed by a skilled esthetician, it will be thorough and as pain free as possible. Most first time clients simply “psyche” themselves out before their appointment due to false information that was given to them or bad experiences in the past. We are highly trained experts and make the experience last only about 10-20 minutes.
Will I be completely smooth the very first time?
Waxing is a “work in progress”, not a quick fix. So the first time, you might notice a few extra hairs that are too short to be removed, or notice a small amount of growth the first couple of weeks. This is simply due to the different growth cycles. After a few regular waxing appointments, your hair will all get on the same “removal page”, resulting in a smooth wax everytime you visit! You will start noticing weaker, finer hair growth!
How long does waxing take?
The answer depends on your esthetician’s experience, the area you having waxed and how much hair you have. In general, a Brazilian wax can take as little as 15-20 minutes and a full body wax can take 45 minutes to an hour. That said, waxing is not a competition and a quality esthetician will take as long as is required to leave you feeling smooth and clean!
How long will my wax last?
Depending on hair growth, the average you should be “hair free” for at least 2-3 weeks. Maintenance appointments should be made every 4-6 weeks. Facial waxing every 3 weeks.
What are the benefits of waxing?
Everyone waxes for their own reasons, but overall there are 3 main reasons we believe waxing is a superior hair removal method.
1. Better Results: Most of our clients would list this as their primary reason for waxing. Once a waxing regemine is established, hair growth is retarded and that “baby smooth” feeling everyone is after is longer lasting when compared with other methods. Over time, your hair will grow back finer and more sparsely.
2. 2 Services in 1: A lot of our clients believe in waxing but don’t realize that they’re actually getting two services for the price of one! Waxing not only removes unwanted hair, but also performs an exfoliation treatment by removing the top layer of dead skin. Clients often comment how soft and smooth their skin feels after waxing. It’s because they just had an exfoliation treatment!
3. Less Stress on Skin: Some clients choose waxing as a way to reduce the amount of harsh chemicals they put on their skin. Waxing uses natural ingredients that are not harmful to the skin. In addition, other forms of hair removal can permanently damage the skin’s surface! Waxing when properly applied to healthy skin is comparatively non-invasive.
How long should I let my hair grow?
The answer depends on which area of your body you are having waxed. Generally speaking most experts recommend that hair be from 1/4″-1/2″ inch in length for best results. Most of our clients schedule visits on a 4-6 week rotation depending on how quickly their hair grows.
