Bella Skin Tips + do's and dont's

¼ of an inch or this long __ This will ensure the wax adheres to the hair. If you normally shave, 2 weeks after your last shave should be okay to wax. If you have hair longer than ¼ inch, please trim or when you come to your appointment we will trim it for you, having longer hair can be painful. If you have more course thick hair it will be more effective if the hair is ½ inch long. As you begin making waxing part of your routine, you can go shorter.

Take a warm shower (not hot – this can be worse) before waxing. The warm shower helps open your pores and will remove the hair faster.

Exfoliate, exfoliate, and exfoliate more! Exfoliating with a body scrub will ensure the wax goes straight to the hair and not have to cut through dead skin cells and oils.

If you are sensitive to pain, take an ibuprofen or aspirin 30 minutes before to help with pain. You can also arrive 15 minutes before your appointment and ask for numbing spray for your brazilian wax.

Shower immediately after exercise to keep follicles clear and bacteria free. Avoid sweating and always keep that area clean for the first few hours. Don't add any lotion or oils because that will irritate it more. Do not apply ice or anything cold to the surface being waxed.

Wait 2-4 weeks between waxing appointments for anything other than brows. This will allow your hair follicles to cycle and weaken each state by removing new growth as it comes in.

Wait one week after your menstrual cycle to schedule your Bikini Area wax service.

Avoid Caffeinated drinks or alcohol before waxing, this makes skin more sensitive.

Do not pick at ingrown hairs, this will cause inflammation and weakens the pore lining. Let it do it's thing, it will come out and if not we can extract it.

To gain the most from waxing, avoid shaving and schedule your appointments regularly. If you shave, it throws off your growth pattern.
