WAXING (BODY & FACE)

---

Waxing is the process of hair removal from the root by using a covering of a sticky substance, such as wax, to adhere to body hair, and then removing this covering and pulling out the hair from the follicle.

Waxing produces better results than shaving. The more you wax, the longer it takes for hair to grow. Waxing deadens the hair follicle. Hair regrowth is much slower post-wax. (Following one wax appointment you’ll need to schedule the next about four to six weeks out, so that should give you a better timeframe of how long a wax can last).

The Benefits of waxing   

• Smooth and even skin. One of the best benefits of waxing is that your skin will feel smooth and even. 
• When waxing, you not only remove unwanted hair—you also wax away any dry and dead skin cells in the process! 
• No cuts or bruises. With waxing, you aren’t at risk to any cuts or nicks that can leave you with scars. This is good news, especially for those who have skin that is susceptible to discoloration due to even the slightest cut. 
• Stubble free skin – Waxing removes unwanted hair completely, from its roots. Shaving, on the other hand, often results in stubbles, leaving your skin feeling rough and abrasive. 
• Irritation and allergies-free. There are minimal chemicals involved in the waxing process, so rarely does waxing cause any skin irritation or allergy. 
• Slow hair re-growth. After waxing, the regrowth of your hair is very slow, often taking 4 to 6 weeks. As well, many say that they have found their hair to be finer, after the regrowth. 

Quick before and after tips  

Keep these before and after tips in mind for the best waxing experience.  

Before and After Tips:  

• Exfoliate the day before your appointment. 
• Don’t apply body lotion on the day of your appointment. 
• Use a deodorant without antiperspirant if you will be getting an underarm wax. The hair comes off easier. 
• If you are really worried about pain, take one Advil an hour before your appointment. 
• Avoid any hot treatments for 24 hours post-waxing (bath, sauna, steamer, tanning bed).
