Pre-Waxing & Aftercare Guidelines

Preparing for Your Wax

For best results your hair should be long enough for the wax to grip effectively. If you’ve recently shaved or used hair removal creams, allow at least 3 weeks of growth, ideally 4 weeks, or about the length of a grain of rice. This ensures a smooth, long-lasting finish.

I know letting hair grow out can be challenging, but it’s key to achieving the best results!

How Long Will It Last?
With proper hair length, you can expect smooth, hair-free skin for 2–3 weeks before regrowth becomes noticeable. After your first wax, regrowth may appear slightly sooner, but with regular treatments, hair gradually becomes finer and your waxing schedule will naturally extend.

Before Your First Treatment
To minimise ingrown hairs and encourage smooth regrowth, exfoliate the area every 2–3 days leading up to your appointment. And remember: no shaving or trimming - let your hair grow!

When Should I Get Waxed?
Schedule your wax 24–48 hours before sun exposure. For first-time clients, allow at least 48 hours before your skin meets the sun.

Aftercare Tips
For 12–24 hours post-wax, avoid:

• Heat treatments, saunas, hot baths, or sunbeds
• Intense gym sessions or activities causing heavy sweating

Wear loose, breathable clothing to prevent irritation, and avoid applying creams or products unless recommended. This helps your skin stay comfortable and keeps your results looking flawless.

Waxing Aftercare Guidelines

To keep your skin smooth, healthy, and comfortable after waxing, please follow these simple guidelines:

Common Reactions
Some redness, small bumps, or mild soreness is normal, especially if it’s your first wax. These usually disappear within a few hours. If needed, you can apply an antiseptic cream but always make sure to wash your hands first.

Post-Treatment Care

• Use cool to lukewarm water for baths or showers.
• Avoid saunas, hot tubs, steam treatments, and swimming in chlorinated pools.
• Avoid sunbathing, tanning beds, and fake tans.
• Refrain from exercise or strenuous activity.
• Do not touch or scratch the area with unwashed hands.
• Wear clean, loose-fitting clothing.
• Avoid applying deodorants, perfumes, powders, lotions, or sprays for 24 hours.

After 24 Hours

• Keep skin hydrated with a good quality moisturiser.

Additional Information

• Wait at least 48 hours before any other skincare treatments.
• For best results, schedule waxing every 4–6 weeks.
• Avoid shaving between treatments; hair should be at least ½ cm long for effective waxing.
• After several sessions, hair will align with its natural growth cycle for longer-lasting results.

For Ingrown Hairs

• Gently exfoliate the area to help prevent and treat ingrown hairs.

Following these steps ensures smooth, healthy skin and optimal results from your waxing.
