PRE SUGARING / WAXING CARE

  • Length of hair must be at least ¼ inch long.

  • Do not shave or trim for at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment.

  • It is recommended to take a shower before your waxing appointment.

  • DO NOT use any oil, lotions or creams around the area which will be waxed.

  • We do not mind if you come to your appointment while menstruating, as long as you are using a fresh tampon or cup. If you are not comfortable with that, please take your cycle into consideration when booking the appointment.

  • A pain reliever/anti-inflammatory may be taken 30 minutes prior to your appointment.

  • Don’t use topical numbing gel as it can interfere with our ability to provide the best waxing results.

  • Let us know if you have been on any skin medications that could affect your waxing service. These include acne medications such as Accutane, Alpha or Beta Hydroxy Acids, Antibiotics, Benzoyl Peroxide, Differin, Retin-A/Retinol or any other skin thinning medication.

  • Reduce intake of caffeine on the day of your appointment as it can stimulate the nervous system, making you more sensitive to waxing.

  • Avoid sun bathing within 24 hours of waxing, before and after. DO NOT COME FROM THE BEACH AND DO NOT GO AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT NEITHER!

POST SUGARING / WAX CARE

  • Length Avoid exercise, hot bath/shower, sauna, steam, hot tub, pools and beaches 24 hours after waxing. Sweating can carry bacteria into the pores and can irritate the skin after waxing.

  • Keep hands from touching freshly waxed skin, minimizing chances of getting irritations or small pimples.

  • Daily exfoliation is recommended to prevent ingrowns. You can use gloves or facial scrubs to exfoliate the skin 48 hours after waxing.

  • Avoid tight clothing, especially in the waxed areas. Tight clothing may result in irritation and ingrown hairs.

  • Avoid the sun immediately after waxing and please wear sunscreen; recently waxed areas are prone to hyperpigmentation (permanent darkening of the skin) if exposed to the sun.
