What to expect before, during & after your waxing appointment
Before your waxing appointment
- Stop using Retinols / Retinoids in the treatment area for at least a week before your appointment to prevent irritation
- We will have a quick consult to make sure we’re on the same page about your expected results
- Please arrive clean and showered, or if it’s the end of a day, freshened up before your appointment
- Avoid heavy lotions or creams in the treatment area
- If you are concerned about pain, take Tylenol or Ibuprofen an hour before your appointment. If you want more numbing, there is an over-the-counter lydocain cream which you can apply 45 min – 1 hour prior to your appointment. It is important to do these before you come in so the numbing is at its most effective point!
- For leg or bikini area waxing, exfoliate the area the day before your appointment
- For underarm waxing, remove all traces of deodorant for best results
- If you’re waxing your face, don’t do it the day of an event
During your waxing appointment
- Session duration depends on the treatment area. For example, a Brazilian or bikini wax takes 15–30 minutes
- For comfort, we apply post-treatment oil, serum and soothing cream to calm the skin and prevent ingrown hairs
A note on the wax: We use Berodin (hard wax) on sensitive areas like bikini, face and underarms. This wax shrink wraps around the hairs and doesn’t adhere to the skin so we’re not pulling needlessly on your skin. This is less painful than traditional soft waxes that pull on both skin and hair.
After your waxing appointment
- Wait at least 90 minutes before showering. You may use your normal lotions or creams after your shower
- Wait at least 3-5 days to use Retinols / Retinoids products
- Avoid friction on waxed areas for 24 hours (this causes ingrown hairs). For example, avoid exercises like running
- Avoid saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzis, swimming pools and beaches for 24 hours
- If ingrown hairs are a concern, we recommend Tend Skin serum to prevent ingrown hairs
