Before & After Waxing
A simple guide to helping your skin feel comfortable, calm and cared for around your waxing appointment.
Better waxing starts with better preparation.
A little preparation can make your appointment more comfortable and help your skin recover smoothly afterward. Follow the guidance provided by your esthetician and give your skin time to settle after each service.
Come prepared for your best experience.
Give your hair time to grow
Hair needs enough length for the wax to effectively grip it. Avoid shaving immediately before your appointment and follow the growth guidance provided for your specific service.
Protect your skin beforehand
Avoid activities that may leave your skin especially sensitive before your appointment. If your skin has been exposed to significant sun or irritation, contact the spa before arriving.
Keep clothing comfortable
Choose comfortable clothing for your appointment and afterward. Softer, looser fabrics can help minimize unnecessary rubbing against freshly waxed skin.
Arrive on time
Waxing appointments are scheduled individually, so arriving on time helps your esthetician provide the full service without rushing your experience.
Let your skin breathe.
Freshly waxed skin can be more sensitive than usual. Keep your routine gentle and give the area time to settle.
- Keep it gentle. Avoid unnecessary touching or friction immediately after your service.
- Skip intense heat for a while. Give freshly waxed skin time before returning to activities that create significant heat or perspiration.
- Choose comfortable clothing. Reduce rubbing against the freshly treated area.
- Follow your esthetician's advice. Your aftercare may vary depending on the service and your skin.
- Give your skin time. Temporary redness or sensitivity can happen after waxing. If you have concerns about how your skin is responding, contact the spa.
