Care, Before & After
The right preparation and aftercare make all the difference.
We’ll guide you through exactly what your skin needs - before and after your appointment - for smoother, healthier results.
Healthy skin starts before your appointment and continues after it.
The best waxing results aren't just about the treatment itself. Preparation and aftercare play an important role in supporting skin health, reducing irritation, preventing ingrown hairs, and helping you get the most from every appointment.
That's why we take a skin-first approach before, during, and after every treatment.
WHY PRE & POST CARE MATTERS
- Allow at least 2–3 weeks of hair growth (about ¼ inch)
- Gently exfoliate the area 24–48 hours before your appointment
- Keep skin hydrated in the days leading up to your visit
- Avoid shaving between appointments
- Wear loose, breathable clothing to your appointment
A little preparation helps ensure a smoother, more comfortable experience and the best possible results. When hair is the correct length and skin is properly prepared, wax can adhere more effectively to the hair rather than the skin, helping reduce irritation and improve results.
- Avoid heat, sweating, and friction for the first 24–48 hours
- Skip hot showers, saunas, tanning, and swimming immediately after
- Keep the area clean and avoid heavy products
- Resume gentle exfoliation after 48 hours to help prevent ingrowns
- Stay consistent with your waxing schedule for best long-term results
Proper aftercare supports your skin as it settles and helps maintain smooth, healthy results. The first 24-48 hours are when your skin is most sensitive. Following these aftercare recommendations helps minimise irritation, support healthy healing, and reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs.
Consistent care creates healthier skin and better long-term results.
Consistent waxing combined with proper home care can help improve skin texture, reduce ingrown hairs, and support healthier regrowth over time.
Every client is different, which is why we're always happy to answer questions and provide personalised recommendations based on your skin and goals.
