BEFORE & AFTER CARE

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT...

RELAX! We are licensed skin care professionals and specialize in this type of hair removal.
Allow your hair to grow 1/8 (if sugaring) to 1/4 (if waxing) of an inch. The sugar/wax needs something to hold onto.
Gently exfoliate up until the day before your appointment. This helps prepare the skin for hair removal.
Shower the day of your appointment to help prevent infection.
Inform your esthetician of any changes to your skin care routine that may affect your service.
Do NOT apply any makeup, creams, deodorants, oils, or lotions beforehand; you’ll get better results if your skin is clean and dry.
Some clients prefer to take an ibuprofen 20 minutes prior to their appointment. It can help minimize pain felt during your service.

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT...

Once home, walk directly into your bathroom and THROW AWAY YOUR RAZOR! You'll achieve better results if you avoid shaving between your appointments.
Schedule your next service 4-6 weeks out from today's service. Routine sugaring/waxing helps the skin get accustomed to the procedure, minimizes irritation, and decreases hair re-growth.
Avoid the following activities to prevent additional irritation:
- Using moisturizers, makeup, gels, deodorant and perfumes for at least 12 hours
- Touching the serviced area with unclean hands for at least 12 hours
- Exposing the serviced area to direct sunlight or tanning beds for at least 24-48 hours
- Exercising for at least 12 hours
- Using saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools and other heated sources for at least 48 hours
- Wearing tight clothing for at least 24 hours
Begin an exfoliation routine 24 hours after your service. I recommend an all-natural and coarse sugar scrub, like my line of Sugar Lips Studio Sugar Scrubs; use in the shower 2-3 times per week.
For persistent issues with ingrown hair, I recommend using a serum like Vanish PFB with Chromabright. Use daily to minimize the occurrence of ingrown hairs and to decrease discoloration caused by ingrown hair scars.
