Preparing is an important step to ensure a comfortable and effective experience. In this section, we’ll provide some helpful tips to help you prepare for your appointment and achieve the best results possible.  

Here are some tips to help you prepare: 

1. Let the hair grow out: For the best results, it’s important to let the hair in the area grow out to at least 1/4 inch. This allows the wax to grip the hair properly and remove it from the root.  
2. Exfoliate: The night before your appointment, gently exfoliate the area with a mild scrub or exfoliating mitt. This can help remove dead skin cells and prepare the skin for waxing.  
3. Wear comfortable clothing: On the day of your appointment, wear loose-fitting clothing that won’t rub against the waxed area. Tight clothing can cause discomfort or irritation after the wax.  
4. Take a pain reliever: If you’re concerned about pain during the waxing process, consider taking a pain reliever like ibuprofen or Panadol before your appointment. This can help reduce discomfort.
5. Communicate with your Beauty therapist. Before your appointment, feel free to ask your Beauty therapist any questions you have about the process. During the wax, communicate any discomfort or concerns you may have. Your beauty therapist can work with you to ensure a comfortable and effective experience.  

By following these preparation tips, you can set yourself up for a successful waxing appointment.

Please also ensure you are arriving to your appointment on time. Our Salons are very busy so we can only allow a grace period of no longer than 15 minutes. If you are more than 15 minutes late, we will have to cancel your appointment and you will have to reschedule.

Wax Aftercare

Aftercare is a crucial part of any waxing appointment. Taking care of your skin after your appointment is essential to ensure that you don’t experience any irritation, ingrown hairs or other issues. In this section, we’ll go over some important aftercare tips to keep your skin healthy and smooth after your waxing session. 

Here are some tips for aftercare:  

1. Avoid tight clothing: Tight clothing can rub against the skin and cause irritation. Wear loose-fitting clothing for at least 24 hours after your appointment.
2. Avoid hot baths and showers: Hot water can irritate the skin and cause inflammation. Stick to lukewarm water for at least 24 hours after your appointment.  
3. Moisturise regularly: Keeping the skin moisturised can help prevent dryness and irritation. Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser to soothe the skin.
4. Avoid touching the area: Touching the waxed area can introduce bacteria and cause irritation. Avoid touching the area for at least 24 hours after your appointment.  
5. Exfoliate gently: After a few days, you can start gently exfoliating the area to prevent ingrown hairs. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or a loofah sponge to help remove dead skin cells. 

By following these aftercare tips, you can help keep your skin healthy and smooth after your waxing appointment.  

After the Appointment

After your waxing appointment, your Beauty Therapist may apply a soothing cream or gel to the waxed area. This can help to calm any irritation or inflammation and promote healing. The cream or gel may contain ingredients like aloe vera, witch hazel, or chamomile, which are known for their soothing and healing properties. If your Beauty Therapist does apply a cream or gel, be sure to ask about any specific aftercare instructions and follow them carefully to ensure the best possible results. 

Minor Discomfort or Redness 

It’s normal to experience some minor discomfort or redness for a few hours after your waxing appointment. This is because the hair follicles have been removed, and the skin may be slightly inflamed. However, any discomfort or redness should go away within a day or two. If you experience any prolonged discomfort or excessive redness, be sure to contact your beauty therapist for further advice. It’s also important to avoid tight clothing or anything that may cause friction or irritation to the waxed area during this time. By following the aftercare tips and taking care of your skin, you can help minimise any discomfort and keep your skin looking and feeling great. 

Wax Discomfort

It’s important to remember that any discomfort or inconvenience you may experience during or after your Brazilian waxing appointment is temporary, and the results are well worth it. After your appointment, you’ll enjoy smooth, hair-free skin that lasts for several weeks. This can help boost your confidence and make you feel more comfortable in your own skin. By following the tips we’ve outlined in this post, you can help minimise any discomfort and enjoy the full benefits of your Brazilian waxing appointment.  

Don’t be afraid to ask questions and communicate with your Beauty Therapist during your appointment. They will help you feel comfortable and achieve the best possible results. If you have any concerns or questions about the process, be sure to ask before, during, or after the appointment. They can also provide you with valuable insights and tips to help you feel more at ease and get the results you want. Good communication can also help ensure that they understand your needs and preferences, to tailor the treatment to suit you. So, speak up and don’t hesitate to ask questions. Your Beauty Therapist is there to help.
