Before waxing, your waxing specialist will apply an antiseptic lotion to ensure cleanliness. If hard wax is used, the area will be dusted with powder to dry it out. For most clients, I use a soy-based botanical hair remover that contains a non-beeswax strip formula. This hair remover provides perfect moisturization for the skin and is made with a blend of soybean oil, palm oil, and tamanu oil. These ingredients have natural antimicrobial, antibacterial, and healing properties for the skin. My hair remover works effectively on fine to coarse hair and is ideal for sensitive skin. If the skin is very dry, then Pre & Post Depilatory Oil can be lightly applied.

For special events, it is recommended to come in 2-3 times before the event for the smoothest and most flawless skin. It's essential to relax your body, take deep breaths to clear your mind, and reduce any tension before the next strip. Rest assured, you're in good hands. My extensive experience with all types of hair and people of every size and ethnicity guarantees your satisfaction. I'll guide you through the entire process and ensure that you leave looking and feeling your best.

Get ready to experience the ultimate waxing session! We want you to have the smoothest, most flawless skin possible. To prepare for your appointment, gently exfoliate your skin 48 hours before your appointment but not the day of your appointment. This removes dead skin cells and opens up the hair follicles, allowing for a better waxing experience.

Before your appointment, please read the "CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR WAXING" section to ensure you are able to undergo the procedure. We want to make sure you're safe and comfortable throughout the process.

If you're getting waxed for a special event, you can achieve the smoothest skin by coming in 2 to 3 times prior to the event. 

Make sure to avoid using lotion or oil on the area you want to wax, and ensure that your skin is healthy without any sores, broken skin, or sunburn. Wear comfortable, loose, and breathable clothing.

Our experienced waxing specialists will guide you through the entire process, making sure you leave happy and satisfied. We handle all types of hair and people of every size and ethnicity. We want you to be comfortable and relaxed throughout the process, so take a deep breath and leave the rest to us.

To keep your skin healthy and allow for an easier waxing experience, be sure to moisturize your skin regularly. Avoid using heavily perfumed or thick lotion on the bikini area as it may cause ingrown hairs. 

Remember, the more consistent you are with waxing (every 3-5 weeks), the finer and softer your hair will grow back. Don't let the hair roots thicken back up, causing pain during hair removal.

Waxing can be a great way to get smooth and silky skin, but it's important to take good care of the waxed area afterwards to avoid any ingrown hairs, breakouts, or other reactions. Exfoliating the skin is key, and you can do this using an exfoliating glove with a pH balanced bath gel. It is recommended to avoid using bar soap as it can leave a film on the body, which might cause ingrown hairs. For your face, back, and chest, use a more gentle exfoliant and an anti-breakout lotion (you can ask your Aesthetician for recommended products).

It's important to remember that you may experience bumps after your waxing treatment. Don't worry, this is a common side effect of waxing and is a histamine reaction. You may even experience hives, tiny bumps, itching, or irritation, but these are all temporary and will fade within 72 hours. 

Moisturizing your skin after waxing is crucial. It helps keep the skin healthy and makes the waxing process easier. However, it is recommended to avoid using heavily perfumed or thick lotions on the bikini area, as it might cause ingrown hair.

After waxing, it is advisable to take certain precautions for the next 24-48 hours. Avoiding the sun, swimming, the sauna, hot yoga, and intense workouts are all recommended. Also, be selective with your skin care, take showers instead of baths, opt for loose clothing, and skip the hookups if you had an intimate area waxed. 

To see the best results, it is recommended to get waxed every 3-5 weeks. This will make your hair grow back finer, softer, and not as quickly. Also, having more time between appointments allows the hair roots to thicken back up, which is what causes pain when removing the hair. And, don't forget to moisturize your skin after every waxing session to keep it healthy and make the waxing process easier. So, book your next waxing appointment today and enjoy the smooth and silky results!

Do you want to have soft, smooth skin that's free from ingrown hairs and bumps? If so, exfoliating is a crucial step that you shouldn't skip. But what exactly is exfoliation, and how do you do it right?

First, it's important to understand that exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. This can be achieved by using a body scrub or polish that's formulated with a pH-balanced formula. By gently buffing away the dry and dead skin, you'll reveal fresh, healthy-looking skin that's ready to absorb moisturizing creams.

To get the best results, it's recommended that you exfoliate a day or two before hair removal. This will prepare your skin for the process and help prevent ingrown hairs and bumps that can result from regrowth. Additionally, you should exfoliate two or three times a week to maintain healthy skin.

Don't forget to moisturize your skin after exfoliating. This will help lock in moisture and maintain softness. With these tips, you'll be on your way to achieving the soft, smooth skin you desire.

Waxing is a great way to achieve smooth, hair-free skin, but we understand that it can be uncomfortable for some people. However, most people tend to tolerate it well, and after a few treatments, you will get used to the sensation. But, if you find waxing very uncomfortable, there's no need to worry. Many estheticians offer numbing creams that you can apply 45 minutes before the service to reduce any discomfort and ensure a pleasant experience.

It's important to note that scheduling your waxing services just before or during your period may lead to a more uncomfortable experience, as you are more sensitive to pain at this time. So, it's best to avoid scheduling services during this period.

You can trust that I am experienced in working with all types of hair and people of different sizes and ethnicities. I will guide you through the entire process and ensure that you leave happy with the service. There's no need to be nervous, as I will be with you every step of the way.

Are you new to waxing or an experienced pro? Regardless, there's one crucial step you don't want to forget - letting your hair grow out to at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the skin. It's essential to ensure the wax can grab onto the hair firmly without slipping.

While hair growth rates vary for everyone, it's generally recommended to wait around 3-4 weeks since your last wax or 2-3 weeks since your last shave before scheduling your appointment.

If your hairs are too short, the wax won't be able to grip them strongly enough to pull them out, and if they're too long, it may take a few attempts to remove them. So make sure to get the timing right!

To ensure the most effective waxing experience, avoid bathing or showering before your appointment. Wet hair is more prone to breaking, so it might not get removed as cleanly as you'd like. Also, remember not to apply lotion to your skin before the waxing session.

By following these simple tips, you can ensure a smooth and effective waxing experience. So what are you waiting for? Book your appointment today!

Waxing is a hair removal technique that involves applying hot wax to the skin and then pulling it off, along with the hair. However, this method may not be suitable for people with sensitive skin as it can strip away a few layers of the skin, leaving it vulnerable to tenderness and swelling. Additionally, if you are taking any medication, it's essential to check with your healthcare provider beforehand, as some medications can cause adverse reactions when combined with waxing. Therefore, it's important to be aware of the potential risks associated with waxing and take necessary precautions to avoid any discomfort or harm.

Don’t wax if you’re taking:

• Accutane (Acne medication)
• Adapalene (Acne medication)
• Alustra (Retin A)
• Avage (Acne medication)
• Avita (Retin A)
• Azelex (Peeling agent)
• Clindamycin
• Differin (Acne medication)
• Doxycycline
• Erythromycin
• Isotretinoin (like Accutane)
• Madifloxicine
• Metronidazole
• Prednisone
• Renova (Retin A)
• Retin A (Acne and Anti-aging medication)
• Tazarac (Acne medication)
• Tazarotene (Tazorac)
• Tetracycline
• Tretinoin (Retin A)

It is crucial to exercise great caution when using any products that can increase skin sensitivity. These products can leave thin and sensitive skin more vulnerable to lifting and irritation during the waxing process. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the potential risks before undergoing any waxing treatment, especially if you have delicate skin.

• Other acne medications not listed above
• Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Glycolic, Lactic)
• Oral Antibiotics
• Topical Antibiotics
• Retinol
• Salicylic Acids
• Any acid based products

To ensure your safety and avoid any potential harm, it is important to carefully follow these specific precautions and considerations when considering waxing:

· If you have undergone a light chemical peel or microdermabrasion, it is crucial to wait for at least seven (7) days before getting waxed.

· If you have had a laser skin resurfacing treatment within the past year, it is not advisable to get waxed.

· If you have had a physician-administered peel within the past two (2) years, it is best to avoid waxing.

· Women may experience heightened skin sensitivity up to one week prior to the start of their period, making it important to take extra care if considering waxing during this time.

· Do not attempt to wax if you have sunburn or irritated skin as this can cause further damage and pain.

THESE FACTORS ARE KNOWN TO MAKE WAXING MORE PRONE TO “SKIN LIFTING”:

• Taking blood-thinning medications
• Taking drugs for autoimmune disease
• Medications for Lupus
• Taking prednisone or steroids
• Psoriasis, eczema, or other chronic skin diseases
• Recent cosmetic or reconstructive surgery
• Recent laser skin treatment
• Severe varicose leg veins
• Rosacea or very sensitive skin
• History of cold sores or fever blisters (waxing can cause a flare-up)
• Using hydroquinone
• Recent surgical peel, microdermabrasion or chemical peel using glycolic, alpha hydroxy, or salicylic acid, or other acid-based products

I may ask you to help hold your skin in certain places—or, yes, your cheeks—so I am able to get every last inch of hair. 

It's really not as uncomfortable as it might sound, but it is certainly intimate.  

Don't hesitate to ask your me for a Vajacial which provides a cooling to soothe inflammation, especially if you have sensitive skin. 

You've made it through the tough part, it's all about taking extra care and caution for the next 48 hours:  Stay out of the sun, avoid swimming, be careful not to over-exfoliate, avoid the sauna and hot yoga, wait a little before getting a spray tan, be selective with your skin care, take showers instead of baths, no hookups, opt for loose clothing, and avoid intense workouts.

Come back every 3-5 weeks! Waxing consistently makes your hair grow back finer, softer, and not as quickly. Also, the more time between appointments will allow the hair roots time to thicken back up and this is what causes pain when removing the hair.  Be sure to moisturize your skin. This helps keep skin healthy and helps the wax remove the hair easier. Avoid using heavily perfumed or thick lotion on the bikini area as it might cause ingrown hair.
