BODY WAXING FAQ
I'M USING RETIN-A, CAN I STILL GET BODY WAXING DONE?
You will need to wait until 6 months after your last dose of Retin-A before having any sort of waxing done, anywhere on the body or the face.
SO WHAT EXACTLY IS A BRAZILIAN WAX?
All of it. Front, back, and everything in between!
WHAT SHOULD I DO TO PREPARE FOR MY BODY OR BRAZILIAN WAXING SERVICE?
Your hair will need to be a quarter of an inch in length before your service. Well exfoliated skin is a must! And please, make sure you shower before coming in. We'll have some wipes ready for you too, just in case.
HOW LONG DO YOU SUGGEST WAITING BETWEEN MY LAST SHAVE AND MY FIRST WAX?
Usually about two weeks is perfect! It's better to be a little too long than a little too short. Three weeks would probably be fine, but don't wait much longer than that!
IF MY HAIR IS TOO LONG TO BE WAXED, CAN YOU TRIM IT FOR ME?
Unfortunately it is not within our legal scope of practice to trim body hair for any reason. If your hair is too long, or too short, we will need to reschedule your appointment.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO EXFOLIATE MY SKIN BEFORE AND BETWEEN WAXING SERVICES?
Sugar/Salt scrubs, body buffer and exfoliating mitts is recommended. I will gladly assist you on picking the right products for your skin during the appointment as well.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR AND BRING TO MY SERVICE?
Always wear clothes that are breathable and loose-fitting around the areas you're getting waxed. If you're coming for a Brazilian wax, either bring a fresh pair of loose cotton panties to wear after your service, or plan to go commando.
CAN I STILL GET MY BRAZILIAN WAX IF I'M ON MY PERIOD?
During that time of the month, your skin is likely to be more sensitive to pain, but we can still wax you if you're comfortable. We recommend taking Ibuprofen or Tylenol 30mins prior to your appointment. Wearing a tampon, menstrual cup, etc is required for a full Brazilian wax during that time of the month, but if you're not able to use products like that, we can switch to a bikini wax, or reschedule your appointment for a better time.
WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU USE DURING YOUR SERVICES?
I only use hard wax as it is best for sensitive skin. Cornstarch, organic oils and aloe vera.
I ALWAYS BREAK OUT AFTER WAXING, CAN YOU HELP?
Absolutely! We have a treatment that can help. Ask about our High Frequency treatment.
HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT BETWEEN SERVICES?
You will want to wait approx 4 weeks between body waxing services, or until the hair has re-grown to one quarter of an inch in length.
WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER MY WAX?
Don't tan for 48 hours. Make sure to keep the skin well exfoliated between appointments. And if you're getting a Brazilian, try to avoid sex, hot showers and the gym for 24 hours.
WHAT METHODS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
Cash and all major credit cards. No checks, please. Gift cards are also available.
