Can you give any advice for first time waxing client? Waxing is preferred for some over shaving because you have a longer time between services with smooth skin. For example, if you shave your legs, you are cutting the hair off at its surface and it is continuing to grow at the same rate. Therefore you may have to shave again the very next day. When you wax you are removing the hair from the follicle and this temporarily slows down the growth process. You then have to grow a new hair from the follicle out. Most people have about 2 weeks with smooth skin before they notice new hair. The hair will also seem softer growing back because the hair is new hair, not cut hair that can feel blunt to the touch.
What kind of commitment is it? Give yourself a commitment of at least 3-6 months. It takes at least 2-3 visits (one visit every 4 weeks) to get your hair growing on the same cycle. What does same cycle mean? Well, all body hair grows to a natural length and then falls off. That is the difference between scalp hair growth and body hair growth. However, to make our bodies look even in hair coverage all the time they fall out in different cycles. That is why we are not naturally completely smooth at certain times. So after your first waxing you may feel a little stubble of the next cycle growing in that is too short to be waxed off at that visit. After the second or third visit you should be forcing your hair into growing all at the same time. Does it hurt? You may feel some discomfort, however the more you have it done the more you get used to the discomfort. Your first time you are removing the most hair and it is a new sensation. It does get better if you are regular with your appointments and don’t let it grow completely back in. You can also take an ibuprofen type anti-inflammatory about 20 minutes prior to your visit which may minimize redness and /or discomfort. How long does my hair need to be? Your hair needs to be at least ¼ of an inch in order to be waxed. If the hair is too short it can’t be waxed and if it is too long it will be more uncomfortable. Will I get bumps? Exfoliating is important before your visit and in between visits as well. Exfoliating with either a body scrub or loofah keeps the new hair from growing under the skin and causing an ingrown hair bump. It is normal for the skin to react to waxing by breaking out at first, but they do fade away. Again, if you are regular about getting waxed your reaction will diminish. You can use plain alcohol or purchase any no bumps liquid to help reduce blemishes or ingrown hairs. What if I am on my menstrual cycle? We do not recommend you wax during your period due to increased sensitivity. However, we will not do Brazilian waxes at all if you are on your period. What exactly are the different types of bikini waxes? a. A regular bikini is just the outside of the underwear line. If you also have hair growth down your upper thigh, that is not considered part of the bikini line and would be an upper thigh add on. b. A high cut bikini is where you go outside the lines of a high cut thong or take the lines closer together. A Brazilian bikini is where all pubic hair is completely removed from the front to around the anus. You may leave a landing strip (rectangle) or triangle, but you are are perfectly smooth underneath. |
