Take a pain reliever an hour before waxing to temporarily reduce pain and sensitivity.

Allow 3-4 weeks between waxing and/or shaving. A quarter of an inch outgrowth is required for bikini, legs and underarms.

If your hair is long it is best to trim so that the waxing is more comfortable, if you’re unsure our technicians will trim the hair for you, better a bit longer than too short.

Do not use peels (glycolic, AHA, etc.) or dermabrasion on the waxing area up to 24 hours prior to receiving a skin wax and notify your technician if you are on any medication that may make your skin prone to sensitivity.

Try to avoid alcohol and caffeine before your wax.

If you suntan try to avoid waxing for 24 hours.

Tend Skin, PFB and manual exfoliation such as exfoliating gloves are recommended to avoid ingrown hairs. WAX Hair Removal Bar™ also offers exclusive body facials to treat your in-growns, this service is best booked in-between your waxes as a treatment.

Keep the waxed area clean, but do not use harsh cleansers or creams for 24 hours post wax.

Be sure to wash the skin thoroughly and dry it well beforehand to remove any lotions or oils which may prevent the wax from adhering closely to the skin.

No hot tubs, hot showers/baths, sunbathing, exercise or sex, yep that’s right we said it, no sex for 24 hours post wax.

Do not exfoliate the skin for 2-3 days post wax, and then exfoliate regularly to help prevent ingrown hairs.

Avoid shaving between waxes, shaving causes the hairs to become very coarse and can be difficult to wax.

Wear plain cotton underwear after your wax, lace or un-breathable materials can irritate the area.
