Pre Waxing/Sugaring Appointment
Both sugaring and waxing do a good job of exfoliating the skin. Be sure to avoid exfoliating the skin the day of your appointment to prevent irritation. However, exfoliating regularly can help loosen the hairs from the skin allowing for easier extraction. Also, be sure to avoid any lotions or oils the day of your service to allow the sugar/wax to adhere to the hairs. Showering the morning of or right before the appointment helps to remove any natural oils and opens the pores allowing for easier and more gentle hair removal.
To guarantee the smoothest results make sure your hair is at least 1/4 inch long. This usually translates to 2-3 weeks without shaving, or every 4-5 weeks after your initial service with us. If you have not been regularly shaving or waxing the bikini area we ask that you please trim the hair before your appointment. Trim the hairs down to between 1/4-1/2 inch long. This way the hair will be long enough to be removed, while still being short enough not to cause pulling during application.
During your appointment
Your comfort and safety are our number one priority! As such we provide a complementary gentle cleansing wipe to use on the bikini/underarm area prior to the appointment. We also provide a clean hand towel on the bed to be used to cover the bikini area after getting undressed. During your appointment applicator sticks or gloves are only dipped once into the sugar paste or wax. This way there is never any concerns over cross-contamination between clients. Only soothing all-natural ingredients are used as pre and post care. After the appointment, witch hazel spray or jojoba oil may be used to remove any remaining residue. Tweezers, if used, are fully cleaned and sanitized after every service with a hospital grade disinfectant.
Post Appointment
Avoid touching the area which can transfer bacteria from your hands. No lotions, perfumes, deodorants, or exfoliating the area for the first 24hrs. Also be sure to avoid any friction or perspiration from activities like going to the gym or having sex during the first 24hrs following your appointment. Pools, hot tubs, tanning beds, and sunbathing should also be avoided. After the first 24hr period has passed, we suggest regular exfoliation and lotion application to keep the skin healthy and to avoid ingrown hairs.
Can I still get a Brazilian if I have my period?
Yes! Simply place in a clean tampon or Diva cup prior to the start of your appointment. We always have gentle cleansing wipes and tampons on hand should you need any. If using a tampon, we recommend placing the string towards your bum, tucking it in-between the cheeks so that it secured and out of the way.
