PREP + AFTERCARE

Wax Prep + Aftercare

A few grounded notes to help your wax feel smoother before, during, and after your appointment

Before Your Wax
  • Grow your hair out: Aim for at least 1/4 inch (about the size of a grain of rice) for optimal grip and less discomfort.
  • Prep your skin: Regularly exfoliate with a gentle scrub to prevent ingrown hairs.
  • Manage pain: Consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever or applying a numbing cream 30 minutes before your appointment.
  • Communicate openly: Inform your wax specialist about any allergies, medications, or skin conditions you have.
  • Plan for consistency: Schedule appointments every 4-5 weeks to maintain smooth results and minimize pain.
  • Wear breathable underwear: Opt for cotton underwear on the day of your wax to avoid irritation.
After Your Wax
  • Fuel up on stimulants: Avoid caffeine and alcohol before your appointment, as they can increase sensitivity.
  • Heat things up: Skip saunas, steam rooms, intense workouts, sun exposure, and tanning beds for 24 hours after waxing.
  • Wax during "that time of the month": Your skin is already more sensitive during your period, so consider scheduling your wax for another time.
  • Tamper with ingrowns: Resist the urge to pick at ingrown hairs! Instead, address them with regular exfoliation and topical treatments.
  • Thin the skin: Avoid waxing if you're on medications that thin the skin, like Accutane or Retinoids, as they can increase tear risk.
  • Over-exfoliate: Wait 24-48 hours after waxing before exfoliating again to avoid irritating your freshly-treated skin.
  • Clog your pores: Steer clear of lotions and oils for 24 hours after your wax to prevent breakouts.
  • Shave between waxes: Stick to waxing for the best results and to avoid the regrowth cycle that comes with shaving.
