To help you get the most out of your visit, we've put together this comprehensive guide to pre-wax preparation. Follow these steps, and you'll be well on your way to a flawless waxing session!

Grow Your Hair to the Right Length

For waxing to be effective, your hair needs to be at the right length. Ideally, it should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long. This length allows the wax to grip the hair properly and ensures a clean, efficient removal process. Avoid shaving for at least two weeks before your appointment to give your hair enough time to grow.

Exfoliate Gently

Exfoliation is key to preventing ingrown hairs and achieving a smoother waxing experience. A day or two before your appointment, use a gentle exfoliating scrub to remove dead skin cells. This helps the wax adhere better to the hair and reduces the likelihood of irritation.

Stay Hydrated

Proper hydration is essential for maintaining healthy, supple skin. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to keep your skin well-hydrated. Hydrated skin is more pliable, making the waxing process more comfortable and effective.

Avoid Sun Exposure

Sunburned or tanned skin is more sensitive, which can make waxing more uncomfortable. It's best to avoid prolonged sun exposure or tanning beds for at least 24-48 hours before your waxing appointment.

Skip the Lotions and Oils

On the day of your waxing appointment, avoid applying lotions, oils, or creams to the area you'll be waxing. These products can create a barrier that interferes with the wax's grip on the hair.

Take Over-the-Counter Pain Relief (Optional)

If you're concerned about pain or discomfort during the waxing process, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen about 30 minutes before your appointment. This can help reduce any discomfort.

Wear Comfortable Clothing

Choose loose-fitting, comfortable clothing for your appointment. Tight clothing can rub against freshly waxed skin and cause irritation.

Communicate with Your Esthetician

When you arrive at Bare Body District, don't hesitate to communicate your preferences and any concerns with your esthetician. They are here to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.
