Waxing
SEMI-PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL
waxing
Waxing is a semi-permanent form of hair removal that pulls out the entire hair from the follicle. Warm wax is applied to the skin, adhering to the hair, and is then quickly removed, leaving your skin feeling softer and smoother. Over time, when done consistently, waxing reduces the amount of hair that grows back, making it finer and softer.
To get the most out of your wax, the following should be avoided. Seriously.
- Sun/Heat- no tanning (in a bed or in the sun), hot tubs, saunas, hot showers, hot yoga…Please, if hot precedes it, just don’t do it. A warm, reasonably temperature shower is fine after a wax, encouraged even, just use a gentle, mild cleanser to remove any remaining residue left behind from waxing.
- Sun Warning!! Yes, even in Washington these rules still apply. If you are going on vacation and plan on laying out in the sun, or you just got back from one, we strongly advise planning your wax at least 48 hours before going or when you come back. Also, please do no underestimate the power of or gawk at the thought of using sunscreen. Your skin will thank us later;)
- Friction- no running, jogging, cycling, hiking, canoodling, tight clothing, etc.
- Products- no oils, creams, lotions, or fragrances/perfumes immediately after the service. Give your skin some time to recover.
- If you are using any product containing Retinol, Retin-A, AHA/BHA, we recommend that you stop using it 3 days prior to and after waxing
- Absolutely no use of Accutane for a minimum of 6 months!
Your wax should last for at least 4 to 6 weeks. The more you get waxed, the less angry and irritated your skin becomes!

Lots of reasons! To start, waxing not only removes hair, it also exfoliates your skin. When the wax is pulled off the skin, it also removes dead skin cells and leaves a brand-new layer of skin. Waxing also weakens the hair follicles, making the hair grow back thinner, which also means it becomes less painful each time you wax! You will have smoother and much longer-lasting results than you would shaving.
Brazilian wax is all hair from front to back (you can leave a little in the front if you want), while bikini just removes the sides and front (what would be visible in a swimsuit).
Your hair should be at least ¼ inch. If you have coarse hair it should be closer to ½ inch for the first few waxes. After a few waxes, your hair becomes finer and can be waxed at a shorter length.
Depending on your own hair growth, you should wait 3-5 weeks between waxing. After your second wax your esthetician should be able to tell you how many weeks is best for you to wait.
Sugaring is a hair removal technique using a paste made only of sugar, water, and lemon juice. Opposite of waxing, it is applied against the hair growth and removed the other way around. Because of this it is a better option for sensitive skin, and some say it is less painful.
