Frequently Asked Questions:
What is waxing ?
Waxing is the most common form of hair removal techniques in day spas today. In this treatment warm or cool wax is applied to the hairs and is pulled off in strips.
Will it hurt?
Body waxing can be an uncomfortable process. However, a skilled professional can make all the difference in the world! I personally have 4 years experience in body waxing and my skill level, commitment to excellence, and high quality products, help ensure the most painless wax possible. If you are very nervous, taking 2 ibuprofen roughly half an hour before your scheduled appointment time can help.
How should I prepare for body and facial waxing ?
Different areas of the body grow at different rates! For bikini or Brazilian waxing 10-14 days is best, legs usually require 2 weeks of growth, and, Under arms are only about 5 days, while eyebrows will need waxed when ever their appearance starts bothering you. If hairs are left too short, the wax won't be able to adhere to them strongly enough to pull them out. Waxing should not be performed if you have extremely sensitive or fragile skin, or if you are taking Retin-A, or Accutane because the skin will be more susceptible to tears. For female clients, it is best to avoid getting waxed 3 days before and or after your menstrual cycle as the skin may be more sensitive due to hormones.
What can I expect during waxing?
Usually, a preconditioning lotion is first applied to the area to be waxed. Then warm wax is applied onto the skin and strips of special waxing cloth are pressed into it and is quickly removed. You may feel some discomfort when the wax is pulled off. The more you experience waxing the less the discomfort becomes.
What is Brazilian waxing?
Brazilian waxing got its start with the daring bathing suits worn by both sexes on Brazil's sunny beaches. The treatment involves waxing off all hairs from the genital area. Some clients request hair on the inner and outer buttocks be waxed off also, "the extreme Brazilian".
How should I prepare for a Brazilian wax?
The same as you would for a bikini. Be aware that there is no modest way to receive a Brazilian. However your esthetician is a professional and will do everything possible to make you feel comfortable.
Post Wax Care: It is important to care for the waxed area properly to prevent ingrown hairs, breakouts or other reactions. Exfoliation will help keep the skin clean and less prone to blemishes. Home care products may be recommended by your esthetician.
