Waxing can be a pain!! Heres a few pointers to help you through a Wax! HOW TO GET A GREAT WAX 1. For your first wax allow your hair to grow four (4) weeks before your first appointment. 2. Stay on this schedule until I advise you otherwise. 3. Never shave or tweeze between your waxing appointments. This throws off your hair growth pattern and you will never have the smooth skin you want. 4. Never use lotion, body oils on the day of your waxing. These products will interfere with your waxing service. 5. Exfoliate! Always exfoliate on the day of your waxing appointment. Do not exfoliate to point where your skin is sore. It’s recommended that you use an exfoliating mitt in the shower on a daily bases. Dead skin build up will not allow the hair to pop through. 6. If you have or have ever had a problem with bumping (looks like a break out but its actually your follicles reacting to the waxing) bring a tube of Polysporin to your waxing appointment and apply immediately. Continue using as long as the bumps remain. If this happens it can last up to 2 weeks. After a few waxings this will stop. 7. If you are nervous about your waxing hurting, apply No-Scream Cream 45 minutes prior to your waxing appointment. This will numb your skin and take the discomfort down an average of 80% 8. Above all, RELAX, I am a professional and have been well trained . DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT 1. Remember to breath. Holding your breath causes you to tense up. Exhaling during the pull relaxes you. 2. Depending on what you are getting waxed, you will be gently guided into positions that assure the best wax. I may even ask you to help hold the skin tight. The tighter the skin the less it hurts. 3. Inform me if the wax is to hot immediately. 4. Minor blood spotting is normal, especially if your hair has been shaved over a period of time or if your hair is coarse and thick. 5. I will apply a post waxing cleanse and a post waxing calming gel to you skin after waxing. HOME CARE Now you have smooth beautiful skin, you want to keep it that way! Home care is a must and it’s easy to follow. 1. Schedule your next appointment before you leave your appointment. Keeping on a schedule will help you to maintain smooth skin and will greatly decrease the hair that grows back. 2. Avoid the sun the day of your waxing and make sure you use sun block. 3. If your prone to ingrowns or at the first hint of one, do not wait until they become an issue to address them. Apply Get the Bump Outta Here! morning and night to keep them away. 4. Continue exfoliating daily to rid yourself of the dead skin build up that will trap the hairs and cause ingrowns. If you get an infected ingrown use a q-tip and apply hydrogen peroxide to the area. This will kill the infection. 5. Do not pick! Picking causes scars.
