FAQs

Lightly exfoliate the area 24-48 hours prior to your appointment to remove dead skin.

Moisturise your skin on the days before, but do not apply moisturiser on the day of your waxing as it will interfere with your results.

Hairs should be about ½ a centimetre long (about the length of a grain of rice). Do not shave before your appointment. You may trim the area carefully, but please make sure you don’t trim the hairs too short.

Avoid hot showers, saunas, swimming, strenuous exercise or lying in the sun for at least 24 hours after your wax.

Remember your follicles are open for up to 48 hours after waxing so keep the area clean! Avoid touching the area and wear loose clean clothing and clean any makeup brushes prior to use.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing after waxing to avoid irritation caused by rubbing.

Continue your regular moisturising routine a day or two after but avoid any exfoliation. Your exfoliation routine can begin again after one week, and make sure you continue to moisturise.

Usually appointments are 4-6 weekly as needed. Your therapist will help determine the time frame necessary. Regular appointments will help the hair follicle become less thick and slow your hair growth, thus causing less pain!

Not only will you maintain your great results from having regular waxes, but your hair will also grow back progressively finer and sparser. This is because the wax removes the hair from the root, causing the hair follicle to weaken each time. These finer hairs also mean there is no itchiness or prickliness as your hair is regrowing.

Waxing also gently exfoliates your skin, and while it will never take the place of regular exfoliation, it can help to brighten the surface of your skin and enhance smoothness.
