Some things to be aware of before your hair removal appointment:
Hair should be about the length of your eyelashes or roughly 1/4". It is outside the scope of an estheticians practice to cut or trim hair, so arriving with your hair at the proper length will make for the best hair removal experience. This is especially important for intimate hair removal.
Topicals such as Retin-A, Differin, or Tazorac, as well as any products containing retinol, alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), beta hydroxy acids (BHA), or benzoyl peroxide can cause adverse reactions and results with waxing or sugaring. If you have used any of these medications within the last week, we will unfortunately not be able to see you for hair removal services.
It can help to gently exfoliate the area to be waxed or sugared in the few days leading up to your service. Hair removal opens up your hair follicles and any excess dead skin can enter the now empty follicle, increasing the risk for ingrown hairs and irritation.
The day of your appointment, increase your post-service comfort by wearing loose-fitting clothing. Tight clothing will likely irritate a freshly-waxed or sugared area.
