Hair should be at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch long (about the size of a grain of rice) for effective waxing.
After waxing, avoid hot baths, saunas, sun exposure, and tight clothing for 24-48 hours. Exfoliating regularly and moisturizing the skin will help prevent ingrown hairs.
Some skincare products containing ingredients like retinoids or alpha hydroxy acids can make the skin more sensitive, so it’s best to consult with the esthetician before waxing.
Before your appointment, make sure your hair is the right length, take a shower to clean the skin, and avoid using lotions or oils on the area to be waxed.
Taking an over-the-counter pain reliever 30 minutes before your appointment can help reduce discomfort.
