Everything you need to know about my waxing and sugaring services
I use a professional soft wax that I apply to the hair and a strip to remove it quickly and efficiently. I use this for every service except for nostrils and ears. For these services, I use hard wax. Sugaring is a hair removal method that uses a paste made from sugar, lemon, and water that I mold around the hair and flick to remove as a more natural option.
Waxing, your hair needs to be at least 1/4 of an inch. (2–3 weeks of growth) Sugaring, your hair needs to have at least 10 days of growth.
There are 4 hair cycles, meaning that all your hair doesn't grow at once. Keeping your appointments scheduled every 4-6 weeks will keep your skin smooth and make the process easier overall. Hair cycle growth will vary from person to person. I will get a better feel for your hair cycles the more you come in.
Results typically last 3-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle, the area being treated, and individual differences. With regular appointments, hair often grows back finer and sparser over time, and you may be able to extend the time between appointments. Remember, no shaving or trimming in between appointments as this can mess up your hair cycles we've worked so hard to keep under control. If you feel the need to shave, we can get your appointments booked closer together.
I wax and sugar all ages. However, if you are under the age of 18, you must have a parent or guardian sign permission for you to get waxed or sugared. This same parent or guardian must be present inside the salon location in order for me to perform the service.
Yes! Your skin can be more sensitive and tender. However, it is still completely safe for you to receive services. Let me know if you are pregnant. That way, I can make sure you're as comfortable as possible.
Yes! Just wear a fresh tampon or menstrual cup to your appointment. You may be more sensitive during this time. However, the appointments are usually pretty quick, and most clients prefer to maintain their schedule regardless of their cycle.
I recommend coming in at least twice before the big day. This helps us both to see how your skin reacts to the waxing or sugaring.
You can take Tylenol 30 minutes before your appointment. Numbing creams are okay to use, but follow the instructions carefully, as they may cause irritation. Avoid NSAIDs like Aleve and Ibuprofen beforehand, as they can affect the way your blood clots and make you bruise more easily. Drinking plenty of water will keep your skin healthy, which can make hair removal easier.
