WAXING PREPARATION

PLEASE READ ALL PREPARATION INFORMATION SO YOU KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DISCONTINUED OR DONE AT HOME BEFORE YOUR SERVICE

Prior to waxing services:

*Ensure your hair has 3-6 weeks of growth (must be about 1/4 inch long for waxing to have good results)

*Discontinue the use of chemical exfoliants such as BHAs, AHAs, glycolic or lactic acids, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, retinols and retin-a at least ONE WEEK prior to being waxed (these products can cause the skin to become dry or thinner and increase the chance of peeling or "lifting" with the wax

*Avoid sun or UV exposure, spray tanning or tanning lotion before your appointment

*Sunburned skin CANNOT be waxed, and waxing will remove color from your spray tan

*Exfoliating once a week, moisturizing daily, staying hydrated and exfoliating the day before your wax will help you achieve the best results!

Avoid chemical peels and other strong skincare treatments for ONE MONTH before your appointment

Limit your caffeine and alcohol consumption before your waxing service - these can increase your sensitivity and your skin's reaction to being waxed

*You MUST be off of Accutane, Tretinoin or other acne medications for 12 months prior to being waxed!
