How to Make the Best of Your Waxing Appointment

Before Your Appointment

Before you go to your waxing appointment, there are a few things you can do to prepare and make the experience more comfortable.

First, make sure to exfoliate the area you will be waxing 24-48 hours before your appointment. This will help to remove dead skin cells and make it easier for the wax to grip the hair.

Second, avoid using any harsh soaps or body washes on the area you will be waxing. These products can irritate the skin and make it more sensitive to waxing.

During Your Appointment

When you arrive for your appointment, your esthetician will cleanse the area to be waxed and apply a pre-wax oil.

The esthetician will then apply the wax to the area and use a spatula or strips to remove the hair.

After the waxing, the esthetician will apply a post-wax lotion to help soothe the skin and reduce redness.

After Your Appointment

After your waxing appointment, it is important to take care of the waxed area to prevent irritation and ingrown hairs.

Here are a few tips:

• Avoid using hot water on the waxed area for 24 hours.
• Avoid using harsh soaps or body washes on the waxed area for 24 hours.
• Avoid sun exposure on the waxed area for 24 hours.
• Apply a cool compress to the waxed area to help reduce redness and swelling.
• Exfoliate the waxed area 2-3 days after waxing to help prevent ingrown hairs.
