waxing in Buffalo

To prepare for your wax appointment, you should let your hair grow a bit. We recommend your hair be about 1/4” long (length of grain of rice). This is generally about 2-3 weeks of hair growth. You will be asked to reschedule if hair is too short.

Once your hair is long enough, gently exfoliate your skin a day or two before waxing appointment, but skip harsh scrubs the day you come in. Exfoliation helps wax grab hair and not skin, but it can also leave skin more sensitive to pain, so lighter is better. A rough washcloth is perfect for gentle exfoliation, but don't scrub too hard

Ibuprofen or Tylenol may be taken to help prior to appointment but please don’t take Aspirin as this may cause bleeding or bruising.

Here are our “ideal” after wax care instructions:

No sun for 12 hours following any waxing treatment.

No hot baths for 24 hours following a body waxing treatment.

No abrasive scrubs for 24 hours following a waxing treatment.

After a bikini wax wear cotton underwear for minimal irritation

Do not use any fragranced lotions.

We have researched the industry and found the gentlest waxing products possible. Our products are designed to bring you great results with minimal irritation to your skin. You will feel the difference in our wax! That said, if irritation should occur, it is recommended you use an antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin to keep the area continually moist to avoid infection and scabbing.

When hair is shaved, within a few days, the hair can be seen at the surface of the skin and coarse stubble can be felt. Shaving commonly results in ingrown hairs, bumps and ongoing skin irritation. When waxed, hair grows back slower, softer and without stubble. When appropriate post-waxing home care is followed, waxing leaves virtually no ingrown hairs, bumps or ongoing skin irritation. Waxing will, over time, make hair growth finer, and hair will become less in volume; but there will always be some re-growth.

This depends on the area being waxed and how fast your hair grows (which depends on the season, medication, hormonal changes, and medical conditions). On average, every four weeks is recommended for body waxing. For the most effective facial waxing service, the ¼ inch rule does not apply. On average, every two-three weeks is recommended for facial waxing.
