Gently exfoliate the area with an exfoliating glove or exfoliating bar two days before your service. (Do NOT exfoliate the day of your waxing)

Take a shower/bath with warm water to soften your hair and open up the pores. 

Avoid caffeine/alcohol 2-4 hours before your appointment. 

Wear loose clothing. 

You are most sensitive during your menstrual cycle and 2-3 days before so book your wax service accordingly if you are sensitive.  

Discontinue all use of retinoids and other chemical exfoliating agents for at least 72 hours. This is very important and failure to do so could result in lifting of the skin as these products compromise the integrity of the skin. This includes all topical prescription acne medication.

 If you are a sunbather, or frequent the tanning salon, it is important to stay out of the sun (artificial or not) for a minimum of 72 hours prior to your service. Waxing services will not be performed if any redness due to sun exposure is present on the skin. This measure is taken solely for our clients' safety and benefit.

If you enjoy exercising, please do so before your waxing appointment. Exercise directly after is not recommended due to the higher risk of causing breakout.

It is a good idea to have a small amount of calm serum (sold in our studio) on hand as this will ease any irritation that you may experience as a result of your service. Ask about our Calm serum at your next visit.
