HAIR LENGTH
Your hair should be no longer than or no shorter than 1/2".  When these requirements are not met, there may be more discomfort during the hair removal process. If you just shaved, wait for two weeks before getting serviced. If your hair is too long, please trim down to the preferred length of 1/2".

 

SYSTEMIC MEDICATIONS
[Hormonal treatments, change in birth control, antibiotics, anti-acne drugs, etc.]
Make sure to check with your physician if it's okay to receive a waxing or sugaring service if you're taking a systemic medication. Sometimes certain medicines can cause the skin to have a longer recovery time (prolonged redness) or even lifting.

​

TRANSPARENCY DURING CONSULTATION Your visit is held at high regard in discretion. It is vital to disclose to the technician any autoimmune issues or other conditions which may become triggered by hair removal. Such conditions can be, but aren't limited to: herpes virus, HIV/AIDs, molluscum contagiosum, etcetera. If you experience an outbreak before your service, notify the technician as soon as possible so that you may reschedule accordingly. Getting a physician's approval to go forward with treatments my be required for your health and safety. Rest assured, there is absolutely no double-dipping of the spatulas in the hair removal medium as it is considered poor practice. Gloved hands always.  

 

TOPICAL TREATMENTS
Doctor-prescribed medicines such as retinols or any skin resurfacing ointments can cause sensitivity and/or lifting as they are considered to be a type of exfoliant or skin renewal medicine. Any waxing or sugaring during the use of these treatments is strongly discouraged. Double-check with your physician to make sure it's okay to get a wax or sugar if you're getting it done in an area that's being treated.

 

EXFOLIATION
[Chemical or Mechanical/Physical.]
The wax or sugar will naturally exfoliate the skin during the procedure, so please refrain from any form of exfoliation the day before, day of, and day after your service(s).

 

TANNING / SUN EXPOSURE

It's important to keep the area you intend to wax/sugar away from UV exposure the day before, of, and after. Again, waxing/sugaring involves some level of exfoliating and this will cause the skin to become photosensitive.

 

HYDRATION
Alcoholic beverages and caffeine can dehydrate the skin, causing more sensitivity. Be cautious of your consumption the day before and day of your appointment; too much can be detrimental to the health of your skin.

If you take these steps into consideration, you will be pleased with the results of your treatment.
There are no over-expectations and there are no dissatisfying surprises.
