My products are Vegan and Animal Friendly How long, or short, should my hair be for waxing? The hair should be at least 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch for best results. If you have coarse hair it should be closer to 1/2-inch for the first few waxes. Once the hair becomes finer it can be waxed at a shorter length. If your hair is longer, I recommend shaving the area and booking your waxing appointment for two to three weeks later. It may take up to three waxing treatments to achieve smooth skin due to the fact that hair grows in stages and all of your hair is never at the same stage. It is very important to avoid shaving between waxing appointments, as this will interrupt the process and stimulate the hair growth again. So if you’re going on holiday and want to be hair free while you’re away you need to plan your waxing treatments now, for the best results. How often should I get my waxing treatment? Every four to five weeks. Regular waxing is essential. The skin will be less sensitive if waxing is done regularly. Over time the hair follicle will have less and less of a grip on the hair to be pulled and the hairs will come out more easily. Another reason to wax frequently is that you may even experience less hair growth over time. I Is there anything I should do before my waxing appointment? Yes. ◾Refrain from taking a shower or bath immediately before the treatment. Soaking the hair will soften it, allowing it to break more easily and making waxing less effective. ◾Make sure the hair is the appropriate length for waxing. ◾Make sure that the area(s) to be waxed are clean. ◾There are certain medications and products that should not be taken or used if you plan to have a waxing treatment soon. Topical exfoliants used on the area to be waxed such as Retin-A, Renova, and hydroquinone, oral acne medications such as Accutane, blood-thinning medications, and topical/oral cortisone make the skin more sensitive and increase the likelihood of irritation or other complications. Please check with your doctor if you are unsure whether you should be waxed while on or using a medication. GP letter is required. Can I shave between waxing appointments? No. Please do not shave between waxing appointments! It disrupts the hair growth cycle resulting in more hair at your next appointment. Will waxing make my hair grow back thicker/stronger/darker? Absolutely not. Aftercare will be provided after treatment.
