Waxing DO's and DON'Ts

Here are a few ways to properly prepare for your Waxing treatment

Make sure your hair is at least 1/4 inch long. (12-14 days since your last shave)

Exfoliate a few days before to make sure as much of the hair is able to be removed as possible. If your hair is too long, no worries, We can trim for ya. We would rather it be too long than too short (we can't get all the hairs if it's too short).

Take 2 ibuprofen 30 min -1 hour prior to your appointment.

Please avoid caffeine and alcohol the day of your appointment.

BENEFITS OF WAXING:

1 SKIN HEALTH
Not only does waxing remove hair, it’s a physical exfoliation that removes lifeless surface skin cells, which means you’re receiving hair removal and skincare all in one.

2 SMOOTHER SKIN
Because you are removing hair from the root and exfoliating the skin, after a wax, you’ll probably find that your skin is now among the smoothest things in your life.

3 LONGER-LASTING RESULTS
Since your hair is being removed by the root, it will take much longer to grow back than with shaving.

4 THINNER AND FINER HAIR
When your hair does grow back after waxing, it will grow back weaker, making it finer, softer and more sparse.

5 MINIMAL IRRITATION
Many people find hair removal methods like epilation and hair removal creams irritating to the skin. However, waxing rarely causes this problem if it’s done by a licensed professional.

DISROBING:
Your Technician will ask you to remove your garments from the waist down before hopping on the bed. This allows the Technician to work without interruption and also prevents wax from getting on your undergarments or clothing. Don’t be shy – you look great.
We provide baby wipes to “freshen up” and a cloth to cover you while you lie on the table. We will step out of the room and give you a few minutes to get ready for your treatment.

That First Wax
Your first wax removes the majority of hair that has grown above the skin. Because hairs grow in different cycles, your subsequent waxes will remove the hairs that were still growing below the skin’s surface but have now sprouted above the skin. After three to four waxes, all of your hairs should be growing in the same cycle, resulting in longer lasting smooth skin.

AFTERCARE TIPS:
CONSISTENCY pays off. Once your first wax is out of the way, every wax gets easier and easier as long as you don’t shave. If you shave, the next wax will likely feel just like the first. Additionally, shaving between waxes can make you susceptible to itching, or worse… ingrown hairs. Plus, shaving is just irritating and time-consuming. So put the razor down!

EXFOLIATING
Who hates having to explain to me why they didn’t have time to exfoliate? I’m so persistent about it because you HAVE to do it. Wether it’s a Chemical Exfoliation (the PFB we have at the Studio) or a Manual exfoliation (Sugar or Salt scrub). The exfoliation process helps remove dead skin, leaving your skin GLOWING and feeling and looking fresh. It also decreases your chances of ingrown hairs greatly! If you exfoliate and remove the dead skin, it allows the hairs to come back in freely without getting trapped under the skin causing irritation and ingrown hairs. This is a essential part of your skin care regimen and a huge contributing factor in loving your WAX results! If you have any questions about exfoliation or how to properly apply or use a certain product, please feel free to ask...

FAQ’s :

SEX AFTER WAXING?
We recommend that you wait 24 to 48 hours to give your skin time to heal and allow hair follicles to close. This will prevent any further skin irritation.

TANNING AFTER WAXING?
Tan, beautiful skin looks amazing, but we recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours after a wax before tanning. The freshly waxed skin is susceptible to sun damage if exposed too soon. If you need to go in the sun, thoroughly apply sunscreen to the waxed area.

CAN I GET WAXED IF I HAVE A SUNBURN?
We will not perform services on sunburned skin or skin that is irritated or unhealthy. Believe us, you wouldn’t like it if we did. When your skin has healed, you can call to book your next appointment.

CAN I GET WAXED IF I’M HAVING MY PERIOD?
Sure, we can absolutely wax you when Aunt Flo’s in town. Just be aware that the area is often more sensitive during this time, so you may experience more discomfort than usual. In order to successfully complete the service, you will need to wear a tampon. Just “tuck in” the string.

CAN I GET WAXED IF I’M TAKING MEDICATION?
It's always best to refer to your doctor if you have any questions. For prescribed creams such as Retin-A or Differin, we advise that you stop use seven days prior to your appointment and do not resume use until seven days after your wax. We will not wax you if you are on Accutane or have been in the past 6 months. It's very dangerous to wax while on Accutane and a doctor's note will be needed to receive services. It's very important that you inform our Technician of what medications you may be taking so we can provide you with a safe waxing experience.

IS IT SAFE TO HAVE A BRAZILIAN WAX WHILE PREGNANT?
First, congratulations! Second, yes, you can still wax. However, you may experience more skin sensitivity due to the hormonal changes your body is going through. Our Technician will make you as comfortable as possible during the service. We recommend checking with your doctor during the last two months of pregnancy.

IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT FOR WAXING?
At The Wax Queen, we require guests under 16 to have parental consent for bikini services. We have Young Guest policy when it comes to providing bikini services on minors. (Oh, and just in case you were wondering…there’s no upper age limit, either. We welcome everyone!)

WHAT IF I HAVE PIERCINGS AND TATTOOS? WILL IT HINDER MY EXPERIENCE IN ANY WAY?
Waxing areas with tattoos will not cause any problems to your art, or your skin. In fact, waxing will help brighten your tattoo by removing the dead, surface cells on top of it. We recommend that you remove your piercing. If you cannot remove your piercing, the Technician will have to go around it and may leave a couple of hairs that are too close to touch. (Or if you prefer we can tweeze that area to ensure a smooth wax)
