Waxing is one of the most efficient methods of hair removal
When waxing, we are removing the hair from its root, which means it has to start an entirely new hair cycle. This is how the hair begins to grow back more sparse and fine over time
Waxing is less irritating to the skin than shaving
Lasts longer than other hair removal methods
Less susceptible to ingrown hairs
Waxing always leaves a smoother, clean result as we are sure not to leave strays or broken hairs behind

Depending on the area being waxed, you will need to have about 3 weeks or longer of hair growth from the last time you have shaved. If you have already been getting waxed, then you already know to come in every 4-6 weeks (ideally). If you are prone to being more sensitive, you can always take a couple ibuprofen 15-20min prior to service.

I suggest wearing breathable clothing. I use both hard and soft wax and will customize what is used more depending on your skin which helps to ease reactive skin and/or decrease sensitivity. My recommended product of choice for aftercare is, Fur Oil ( an organic blend of essential oils ), which will be applied after your wax service. Before you know it, you will be leaving hairless and smooth in no time!

Avoid any soaps or lotions with synthetic fragrances
Using a post care oil or serum such as Fur Oil can also help to heal and condition the skin
Reduce any sunbathing directly after
No chlorinated pools directly after

It’s recommended to wait at least 24 hours after your appointment. After waxing hair follicles can feel sensitive and can be easily susceptible to bacteria from sweat or others. This is why it is also not recommended to be intimate directly after getting waxed

For all body waxing I recommend pairing a post care product along with exfoliating consistently in between waxes. In the studio we carry a variety of options that will calm irritation and help prevent/ treat ingrown hairs. I am always happy to go over these options during appointments.
