WAXING AFTER CARE

Although we can not predict or guarantee who may react, most clients do not experience reactions beyond redness and minor irritation. If hair is thin or weak it may break at the root during waxing, causing some hairs to grow out faster.

Please follow these guidelines to minimize irritation and possible break outs:-

PRIOR TO TREATMENT.

DO - Allow your hair to grow to a minimum length of 0.5cm before treatment. To minimise pain for intimate waxing please trim hair to approx 0.5cm in length prior to treatment (this can be done in salon by therapist if required).
DO - Exfoliate 24hrs prior to treatment (do not exfoliate after 24hrs prior to treatment)
