Waxing Advice
Before your appointment
In order for waxing to be effective the hair should be no shorter than a grain of rice. For most people this means around 7 -10 days worth of growth after you have last shaved.
Please do not use a sunbed or overexpose the area you are having waxed to the sun 24hours before your appointment.
Avoid very hot baths/steam room/sauna immediately before your appointment.
Please advise the beauty therapist if you are taking Roaccutane (a drug prescribed for acne) or are using steroid creams.
Please advise the beauty therapist if you have recently had any microdermabrasion/skin peels or use products containing AHAs on the area you are having waxed.
