What You Need to Know Before Waxing
Waxing removes hair by grasping it at the root, providing longer lasting smoothness compared to shaving. Prior to your first waxing service, allow the hair to grow out to 1/4 inch. This gives the wax adequate length to adhere to. Some clients choose to take an over-the-counter analgesic before waxing to minimize discomfort. Waxing works optimally on larger body areas. Estheticians usually recommend alternative hair removal methods for facial hair. Avoid sun exposure, irritation, cuts or infection on the area being waxed. Some redness is common post-waxing but typically resolves quickly.
Waxing Techniques and Benefits
There are various waxing techniques to suit different client needs: Hard wax is effective at removing short, coarse hairs. Soft wax is ideal for grasping longer hair. Sugar wax provides a more natural option made from sugar, lemon juice and water. Waxing results can last 3-6 weeks depending on individual hair growth. Over time, regular waxing can result in finer, slower regrowth. Waxing is safe on legs, arms, back, bikini area, brows and lips. For sensitive regions, visit us as we have licensed esthetician.
