Ensure you are not on any prescription medications that will interfere with your waxing service.
Accutane and Retinol are both well known contraindications to waxing.

Try to come in with loose or comfortable clothing! This will reduce the risk of unwanted friction after your service.
Q.

A.
The hair needs to be about 1/4 of an inch long. Typically two weeks of growth from being shaved.
Q.
Timing issue, can I wax during that time of the month?
A.
Absolutely! However you may be a little more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
Q.
Whats the difference between all your bikini services?
A.
Bikini Line: is a basic tidy; anything that can be seen outside of a swimsuit. Top and sides.
Bikini Full: is as much or as little taken off as you’d like! This service does not include the butt strip.
Brazilian: is everything taken off as much or as little as you’d like, with the added butt strip.
Q.
How old do you have to be to receive a bikini service?
A.
If under 18, we must have parental consent.
Q.
What type of wax do you use?
A.
We use a gentle hard wax! Hard wax is a type of wax that only attaches to the hair, and not to the skin.
Hard wax does not use any cloth or paper strips.It is more gentle and is great for sensitive areas!
Q.
Do I need to trim up beforehand?
A.
If you have more than 1/4 of an inch of hair, no need to worry, we take care of everything for you!
After Bikini Service Instructions
Wear loose clothing after your wax as much as possible until redness or irritation has subsided.
Use aloe in the area if the area feels tender after your service
Keep skin as clean as possible, use an anti-bacterial wash or tea tree oil on the area.
Do not pick at any bumps you may have, instead, cleanse and soothe skin with aloe to encourage the skin to return to normal
Gently exfoliate the area 1-2 weeks after your service. Do this 2-3 times a week. This will help clear dead skin and allow the hair to come in without getting trapped or becoming an ingrown hair.
If redness or irritation is not gone within 24-72 hours from appointment, please contact us to give you further treatment.
Return for your next wax at recommended time (4 weeks)
