The benefits of waxing over shaving
Waxing lasts longer than shaving because it pulls the hair from the roots. After several months of consistent waxing, the hair growth slows down tremendously, especially in the bikini and underarm areas. Waxing causes the hair to grow back softer, slower and finer than when one shaves, therefore eliminating itching and uncomfortable stubble. If you suffer from ingrown hairs, irritation, redness and bumps, waxing will greatly reduce these inconveniences! Please contact me for more information.
Tips on preparing for your waxing visit
If you shave your pubic area, you must have at least 1/4" outgrowth in order for a successful wax (2-3 weeks outgrowth). Before your wax session, you should take a shower and wash your pubic area. This will allow you to be more comfortable during the wax. A mild exfoliation of the pubic area with a loofa or a washcloth prior to your waxing session will lift the hair and prepare it to be waxed. Try to schedule your Brazilian wax session for a week after menstruation as the genital area is least sensitive at that time. To make you feel less sensitive during your Brazilian wax session, try to avoid caffeine, stress and nicotine. If you choose to take Tylenol or Ibuprofen one hour prior to your visit, it will help ease the discomfort.
Tips for after your waxing visit
Apply soothing lotion on your genital area if needed. You will leave my shop with soothing lotion on and generally that is all you will need. If you are feeling at all irritated or uncomfortable, aloe vera, chamomile and tea tree oil can be very soothing. To avoid irritation of the skin, avoid for at least 24 hours after your Brazilian wax session: heat sources, such as saunas, steam rooms, sun, heavy exercise, exfoliating products such as AHAs and scrubs, loofas and tight clothing. Try to avoid hot baths/showers or sexual activity for 10 hours after your waxing session as your pores are open and vulnerable to irritation and infection. Regular exfoliation (2x-3x per week) will help to remove dead skin and help prevent ingrown hairs. If you are experiencing ingrown hairs, product will be recommended to help heal them quickly.
