Waxing Advice
WAX FAX !!!
Why Wax?
Personal reasons, more hygienic, sports related benefits for athletes, improved appearance, eliminated stubble growth, enhanced muscle definition, smooth look & feel - to name a few.
Does it hurt?
Yes it does but then so does giving birth, but us women do it time and time again. Everyone’s pain threshold is different. Your first time will generally hurt the most then after that each subsequent wax will become easier as there will be less hair to remove so will not be as uncomfortable.
How long does hair have to be?
A minimum of 1cm/1/4” long – or make your appointment 3 weeks after your last shave. Please do not be tempted to trim yourself if your bush is overgrown, leave that all to me, we don’t want to be taking too much off and not getting the end result you want.
How long will the results last?
Each person varies some 3 weeks some longer, but we recommend regular waxing appointments every 4 weeks. It all depends on how smooth and hair free you want to be. It’s up to you.
Will I get any reactions?
The back and chest along with the upper lip are areas that commonly break out after waxing. If you have a tendency to have a reaction from shaving then you are more likely to have the same reactions waxing. Using the correct home care and having regular waxing on these areas will minimize reactions.
Is there any reason why I will not be able to be waxed?
If you have a contagious skin condition you will have to wait till it has completely cleared up. If you are using Roaccutane you must wait for 6 months after you have finished your medication. We cannot remove hair from areas that have been treated with steroid cream Retin-A, Differin or other retinoid acne products within the last 3 months.
Before your appointment
Please shower if possible, if you are coming straight from work, freshen up wipes are provided if needed.
