Waxing Dos and Don'ts
- DO shower and clean your entire body thoroughly before a Brazilian or Man Wax appointment, as a courtesy to your esthetician. This service involves a certain amount of nudity and some very revealing positions.
- DO use a good body scrub or Vanish between wax treatments, to discourage in-grown hairs.
- DO NOT shave the treatment area for at least 10 to 14 days before you wax.
- DO NOT become overheated immediately after treatment. Avoid hot showers, baths or saunas.
- DO NOT expose the waxed area to the sun or use a tanning bed 72 hours prior to or after waxing service.
- DO take a non-aspirin, over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen one hour before your appointment if you desire.
If a burn or slight abrasion occurs DO apply a topical antibiotic such as Bacitracin.
PLEASE NOTE: Waxing services can not be performed on clients that are diabetic; have used Accutane in the last 6 months; are currently taking antibiotics (72 hours minimum discontinued use; or are taking Coumadin, Hydroquinone or other prescription or non-prescription blood thinners.
