Measure Up
The ideal length for hair is about 6mm and for all you shavers out there, make sure you give it at least three weeks before you visit after using a razor! Otherwise the hair will be too short to get waxed.
Clean House
Take a shower before your appointment to help open the pores and put the riffy mitt in play to help smooth and prevent ingrown hairs. Taking the time to exfoliate with one of our riffy mitts is a great way to keep skin smooth, soft and free from bumps and ingrown hairs post-wax – they are available in salon to ease your woes.
Go Au Natural
Skip the lotion, gel, oils and tanning pre-wax as it may interfere with hair removal and it may up the ouch factor. We advise keeping the freshly waxed area clean and free of products including lotion, gels, deodorant and perfumes until the following day.
Be Proactive
Some clients prefer to pop an aspirin before their wax to help minimise involuntary yips and yelps.
Cool Off
Steer clear of prolonged exposure to heat -including saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools, sun bathing and intense heated exercise for one to two days after a wax as you’ll be more prone to burning.
