how to prepare for your appointment
we recommend that you stop shaving or trimming the hair you want to remove at least two weeks prior to your appointment. it is super helpful if you exfoliate the area well in the days leading up to your appointment as well so that your hair is free of dead skin build up.
when it comes time to do the service you can take the recommended dosage of ibuprofen 30 minutes before your appointment to help with pain and inflammation.
for body waxing, wear loose fitting and breathable clothing and try not to have any big plans after your service that involve physical activity!

recommended aftercare
for 24-48 hours after a body waxing service, avoid the following:
sunlight: no exposure to uv rays, no tanning beds, always wear sunscreen on the area you received the waxing service.
soaking: warm water opens your pores and leaves them vulnerable to bacteria and irritation. no baths, swimming pools, hot tubs, or saunas.
scrubbing: no harsh exfoliating, physical or chemical, to the service area.
sweating: no immediate exercise. sweating, as well as the activities that cause it, can promote irritation and possible bacterial infection to your vulnerable hair follicles.
synthetic products: avoid lotions, body washes, or other products with synthetic ingredients. these are usually listed as “parfum / fragrance” on ingredient lists. wear breathable cotton fabrics to decrease irritation and sweating. avoid deodorant on your underarms for 24 hours as well.
recommended aftercare products
after the initial 24-48 hours is complete, you should begin the following aftercare routine:
exfoliate: exfoliating 2-3 times a week helps get rid of dead skin build-up and allows your hair to grow back without any impediment. use a gentle physical exfoliant such as a salux towel or a chemical exfoliant, such as pfb.
moisturize: fur oil or finipil post-waxing moisturizing cream helps keep the skin on the service area cool and calm, as well as having antibacterial properties. use daily after showering for best results.
both of these products are available for purchase at the studio.
recommended follow-up appointments
waxing is most successful when it is done consistently. maintaining a regular schedule of 4-6 weeks between waxes allows for a good amount of hair regrowth without breaking off and damaging your hair in between appointments. consistency is the key factor to getting your hair on the same growth schedule and maintaining a longer smooth time between services.

questions
can i wax while i’m pregnant?
Yes! You can wax right up until you give birth if you want to. Many clients choose to wax before having a baby for a variety of reasons - they are already in the habit, mobility gets more difficult, potential for unexpected surgical procedures, sometimes it’s just nice to have a self care moment during a fairly exhausting experience! No matter the reason, it’s perfectly safe to wax while you're pregnant. After you give birth I suggest you wait at least 4-8 weeks post-partum to get your next wax. As always with everything, taking the advice and direction of your doctor / obgyn is paramount!
can i wax on my period?
yes! you can wax while you are on your period as long as you are comfortable wearing a new tampon or a menstrual cup. if you are not comfortable with either of these methods then we can reschedule no problem! I have clients who are menstruating all the time and this is not an issue for me as your provider in the slightest. waxing while menstruating can sometimes make people slightly more sensitive to discomfort during services so If you are concerned you can take the appropriate amount of otc pain reliever 30 minutes before your appointment.
what if…?
…i’m scared / embarrassed / nervous / worried that my hair is too long / i just had a baby / i am a fat person / i am queer / i am trans / i am disabled / i feel like my body is weird etc etc?
