Waxing

Women and men today are looking for an effective , long lasting hair removal that leaves their skin soft and supple with a healthy glow. Waxing is still one of the most popular options of hair removal.

Benefits of waxing

- Hair takes longer to grow back.
- Area stays softer and smoother longer.
- Waxed hair becomes finer and sparser over time.
- Waxing pulls hair out at the root, or papilla.
- Consistent waxing may result in weakened hair follicles so that 
  many unwanted hairs no longer grow back.
- Hair grows back finer, NOT thick!

Q & A

Does waxing hurt?
Yes, it hurts - a quick pain though. Your Skin Care Therapist uses techniques and products that minimize your discomfort. Redness should be expected after most waxing and may last minutes or possibly several hours.

When should you wax?
Hair length should be a minimum of ¼ inch. Waxing is never done on clients taking Accutane, Retin A, Renova, Differin or other types of skin thinning or acne medications.

How long does waxing last?
Individual hair growth varies. Typically, clients wax every three to four weeks. Heat stimulates hair growth, therefore hair grows quicker in the summer than in the winter.

Caring for freshly waxed skin

-Avoid exposure to the sun, tanning bed, sauna, steam room or spa for at least 
 24 hours before and after waxing.
-Scrub skin with a loofah or other exfoliater every time you shower to remove the 
 dead skin layer and prevent ingrown hair.
-Avoid creams, oils or lotions on the area for three to four days to prevent pores 
 from clogging and break-outs.
