How to Prepare for Your Waxing Appointment
1. Allow 5mm of Growth: Hair should be roughly the length of a grain of rice (about 2 to 3 weeks after your last shave) so the wax can grip cleanly from the root.
2. Gentle Exfoliation 24–48 Hours Prior: Lightly buff dry skin a day or two before your appointment (never scrub on the morning of your wax).
3. Skip Heavy Lotions on the Day: Arrive with clean, dry skin free of body oils or rich creams.
4. Wear Loose Cotton Clothing: Breathable underwear and loose trousers prevent friction after intimate or leg waxing.
5. Disclose Retinoids or Acne Medication: Let your therapist know if you use topical retinoids, AHA/BHAs, or oral isotretinoin before any facial or body waxing.
48-Hour Post-Wax Care to Prevent Ingrown Hairs
- For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, swimming pools, heavy gym friction, and scented body products on waxed zones.
- After 72 hours, begin gentle exfoliation 2 to 3 times a week alongside light, non-comedogenic hydration so fine new hairs emerge smoothly.
- Rebook every 4 to 5 weeks to keep follicles synchronised.
Waxing vs IPL Hair Reduction
- Waxing (R80–R644.41): Immediate smooth skin in one visit, works on all hair colours (including blonde, red, and grey), and requires no multi-session commitment.
- IPL Hair Reduction (R270–R2,555.41): Uses broad-spectrum light over a course of 6 to 10 sessions to progressively reduce dark hair growth long-term.
