Pre & Post-Wax Care Tips for Smooth Results

When you choose a hard wax service, you’re opting for one of the gentlest, most effective methods for hair removal. But achieving flawless, long-lasting results requires a little help before and after your appointment. Here’s how to get the smoothest outcome possible!

Pre-Wax Tips:

1. Let it grow — just enough
   Hair should be about ¼ inch long (around the size of a grain of rice) for the wax to grip properly. Avoid shaving before your appointment!
2. Gently exfoliate
   Exfoliate your skin 24–48 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin buildup. This helps prevent ingrowns and allows the wax to adhere better.
3. Clean skin is key
   Come to your appointment with clean, dry skin — no lotions, oils, or deodorants, as they can interfere with the wax’s performance.
4. Stay hydrated
   Drinking plenty of water improves your skin’s elasticity, helping the wax process feel smoother.

Post-Wax Tips:

1. Calm and soothe
   After your wax, apply a cooling, fragrance-free aloe gel or calming lotion to soothe the skin and reduce redness.
2. Skip the heat
   No steam rooms or sweaty workouts for at least 24–48 hours post-wax. Freshly waxed skin is more prone to irritation!
3. Hands off
   Avoid touching or scratching the waxed area. Let your skin breathe and heal naturally.
4. Wear loose clothing
   Tight clothes can trap heat and cause friction. Soft, loose fabrics are best right after waxing.
5. Gently exfoliate after 48–72 hours
   Once any tenderness has calmed, exfoliate 2–3 times a week to prevent ingrown hairs and maintain soft skin.
6. Keep moisturizing
   Healthy, hydrated skin helps hair grow back softer and finer. Use a lightweight moisturizer daily.
