It's best to be well hydrated and use gentle exfoliation several days before your first appointment. If your skin is dehydrated, it tends to hold onto the hair which can result in breakage rather than complete removal from the root. Don't forget to chill out! The more tense you are, the more pain you experience. It has been our experience that taking an over the counter analgesic 45 minutes before your appointment will alleviate some pain.  Refraining from alcohol and caffeine is always a good idea as well. 

We do our best to make your experience as pain free as possible. Here are some tips to help minimize the pain:

Be consistent. This results in a less painful wax. 

Try to avoid caffeine before your appointment. 

Exfoliate before you come in.

Invest in a great numbing cream.

The second appointment is less painful than the first and gets easier each time you come in.

We also suggest not scheduling your first appointment right before your period. Your pain threshold is higher during that time.

Stop shaving! We like you to come to see us about two weeks after your last shave because shaving can make the hair more resistant to wax.

Avoid applying HEAT to the waxed area for 24 hours. This includes hot baths and sauna.

Avoid SUNTANNING for 24 hours. 

Avoid using HARSH ABRASIVES or exfoliators in the waxed area. If you are prone to in-grown hairs, loofah mittens or exfoliant scrubs can be used ONCE the hair has begun to grow back.

Avoid applying any products to the waxed area for 24 hours after the waxing service.

Any PINKING of the skin should disappear within 6 to 8 hours after the waxing treatment. 

For BEST RESULTS, repeat your professional waxing every 4 weeks.

Be prepared that waxing may be more painful if you're on your period. If you are not shy, we have no problem waxing you, providing proper hygiene has been exercised.
