Hot Waxing:

Hot wax, also known as hard wax, is a hair removal method where a thick, honey-like wax is applied directly to the skin, allowed to cool and harden, and then removed without a strip, taking the hair with it.

PRIOR TO WAXING TREATMENT:

• Your hair should be the ideal length of between 1-2 cm long for waxing to work and to minimise any discomfort,
• Leave hairs to grow 3 -4 weeks before your wax appointment.
• Exfoliating is recommended 3 times a week especially 2-3 days before waxing treatment.
• 72 hours before treatment stop using any retinol, chemical peels, or products that may cause skin sensitivity (in the areas that are being treated). Let us know if you are taking any medication that can affect your waxing results, such as blood thinners, Retin-A or Accutane (or similar products).
• For 24 hours prior to treatment avoid any type of tanning, sun exposure, saunas, steam rooms or heat treatments.

ON THE DAY OF TREATMENT:

• Take a warm shower before waxing. This will help to open the pore for easy hair removal.
• Do not moisturise on the day of your appointment.
• Wear loose fitting clothes

AFTER TREATMENT:

• Avoid all heat treatments including sunbathing, sun beds, steam baths and saunas for 24 - 72 hours after treatment.
• Avoid swimming or exercise for 24 hours after treatment.
• Do not apply perfumed soap, body lotion, talcum powder or deodorant to the treated areas.
• Use only lukewarm water for a bath or shower.
• Do not apply make-up to any treated area.
• Try to avoid touching skin that has been waxed.
• Wear loose-fitting clothes.
• Start to exfoliate and moisturise your skin 48 hours after you had the treatment done to prevent ingrowing hairs.
• The results normally keep getting better at least until your 4th wax.

Leave a minimum of 4 weeks between waxing sessions.
