Waxing can be painful, but everyone’s pain tolerance is different! Waxing is a short, stinging sensation which will be gone by the end of your appointment. Remember to let your aesthetician know if the pain is to uncomfortable or you need to take a break. To ease the pain, try taking an ibuprofen before your appointment.
Waxing is a form of epilation which means we are removing hair directly from the root. When removing hair from the root the follicle will begin to weaken which will cause your hair to grow thinner, slower and patchier! When shaving, your hair grows back for most people almost instantly. With waxing you can expect your hair to grow much slower, and after your waxing appointment you should expect to be hair free for 1-2 weeks.
Waxing while using these products can be extremely harmful to your skin. This can cause lifting/removing of the skin and can cause permanent scarring. Please advise your doctor before your appointment to ensure waxing is right for you! Please be sure to let your aesthetician know if you are currently using these products or any other medications you are currently taking.
Absolutely! Hair maintenance while you’re pregnant can be difficult! Waxing is safe during your pregnancy, but it is important to understand that your skin is more sensitive especially for Brazilians during this time. Due to more blood flow waxing during your pregnancy waxing can cause excessive swelling and redness. It is recommended you book for a hard wax appointment during this time.
Hard wax has a thicker consistency and when applied to the skin it is left to dry for a couple seconds and then it is removed on it own without a strip. Hard wax has the tendency to grip on mainly to the hair rather than the skin making it an amazing option for clients who are prone to lifting or any skin conditions that may cause sensitivity. This makes waxing more comfortable for clients that have psoriasis, eczema and extremely coarse hair. Hard wax is available for genital waxing and facial waxing.
Soft wax is a thinner consistency that while applied to the skin is removed immediately with a strip. Soft wax works for all hair types is amazing at getting those stubborn, thinner hairs. Soft wax is great for waxing larger areas making your waxing appointment fast and as easy as possible! Soft wax is available for all waxing services.
Still not sure what wax is right for you? always talk to your aesthetician about your skin/hair and any issues your experiencing to find out what works best for you.
