Cleanse and avoid heavy moisturizers. Ensure hair is about a quarter inch long. Discontinue exfoliating acids, retinols, or tretinoin several days before waxing and always inform your esthetician about any skincare products for safety and optimal results.

Mild redness or sensitivity is normal for a few hours to a day; we use soothing techniques and calming products to reduce discomfort. Avoid sun exposure, exfoliants, and intense heat for 24-48 hours. Contact us if irritation persists or severe reactions occur.

Most clients enjoy smooth, hair-free cheeks for three to six weeks, depending on hair growth cycles and individual hormones. With regular waxing, regrowth often becomes finer and sparser. We recommend scheduling repeat appointments to maintain consistent, polished results.

If you use retinols, glycolic or salicylic acids, or tretinoin, inform your esthetician before your appointment. We may recommend pausing these products several days prior to waxing to avoid excessive irritation and adjust your treatment plan for safe, comfortable results.

Some tugging and brief discomfort is normal, but our estheticians use quick, precise techniques and calming pre and post-wax care. Numbing creams may be discussed if necessary. Avoid caffeine and alcohol before your appointment to reduce sensitivity and communicate any concerns.

Apply a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer and avoid hot showers, steam, or heavy exercise for 24 hours. Skip exfoliants, retinoids, or strong acids for several days. Use SPF and gentle cleansing; contact us if you notice prolonged redness, bumps, or signs of infection.
