Waxing Treatment Pre/Post care 
To achieve maximum results from your treatment, it’s essential to follow the pre and post care.

​

PRE CARE

​​​

  • 48 hours prior to the appointment gently exfoliate the area

  • Allow the hair to grow roughly to 0.5 - 1.0cm long. About 3 weeks growth

  • Freshly washed skin to remove any oil/sweat/products - this will help the wax adhere to the skin better.

​

​

POST CARE

​

Please note: some slight soreness, small bumps and redness are common and perfectly normal temporary reactions, particularly if this is your first wax. These symptoms should subside over the next 24 - 48 hours. If you experience persistent redness or irritation, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Keep the waxed area clean, and avoid heat and friction during the next 24 - 48 hours.


24 - 48 hours. Post any Waxing Services 

  • No hot baths or showers (cool to lukewarm water only)

  • No saunas, hot tubs, massage or steam treatments

  • No tanning (sunbathing, sun beds or fake tans)

  • No sport, gym work or other exercise

  • Avoid scratching or touching the treated area with unwashed hands

  • Wear clean, loose fitting clothes

  • Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools

  • Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions or other products to the area

  • Please try not to shave in between appointments 

​

WAXING MAINTENANCE CARE

​

  • To prevent ingrown hairs: starting a few days after your appointment and then continuing a couple of times every week, exfoliate the areas you get waxed using a dry brush or exfoliating mitt.

​

  • Moisturise every day to keep the skin supple and help new hairs to grow through normally. Don’t exfoliate too much or too rough as this can graze the skin and cause ingrown hairs.

​

  • You may notice a small amount of re growth after a week or so. It can take up to 4 treatments for your hair to get on a growth cycle that gives best results.

​

  • You will need at least 3-4 weeks growth of hair before it can be successfully removed by waxing;

​

  • Please try not to shave in between appointments - to maintain your smooth appearance, I recommend regular waxing every 4-6 weeks
