Body Waxing Pre-Care & Aftercare Guide

We’re excited to help you achieve smooth, beautiful skin! Following these simple guidelines will help ensure the most comfortable wax possible and the best results.

Before Your Appointment (Pre-Care)

Let your hair grow.

Hair should be approximately ¼ inch long (about the length of a grain of rice), or about 2–3 weeks of growth after shaving. Hair that’s too short may not wax effectively, while hair that’s too long may cause additional discomfort.

Gently exfoliate.

Exfoliate the area 24–48 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and help prevent ingrown hairs.

Moisturize —but not on the day of your appointment.

Keep your skin hydrated leading up to your wax, but do not apply lotions, oils, creams, deodorant, or body butter on the day of your appointment, as they can interfere with the wax.

Avoid sun exposure.

Avoid sunburn or tanning for 24–48 hours before your appointment, as sun-sensitive skin is more prone to irritation.

Wear comfortable clothing.

Loose-fitting clothing helps reduce friction and keeps you comfortable after your service.

Consider your menstrual cycle.

If you’re menstruating, your skin may be more sensitive. You are still welcome to receive a wax—just wear a fresh tampon or menstrual cup if applicable.

Limit caffeine and alcohol.

If you’re concerned about discomfort, try to limit caffeine and alcohol for a few hours before your appointment, as they may increase skin sensitivity.

Tell us about your skin.

Please let us know if you are using:

• Retinol or prescription acne medications
• Accutane (current use or within the past 6 months)
• Chemical peels or recent laser treatments
• Any medications or medical conditions that may affect your skin

After Your Appointment (Aftercare)

For the first 24–48 hours, please avoid:

• Hot baths, hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms
• Intense exercise and excessive sweating
• Swimming pools, lakes, and the ocean
• Direct sun exposure and tanning beds
• Fragranced products, retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or exfoliating products on the waxed area
• Tight clothing that may rub or irritate the skin

Keep your skin clean.

Wash gently with mild soap and lukewarm water, then pat dry.

Moisturize daily.

After the first 24 hours, apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the skin healthy and hydrated.

Prevent ingrown hairs.

Starting 48 hours after your appointment, gently exfoliate 2–3 times per week and continue moisturizing regularly.
