Myth # 4 - IT WILL MAKE MY SKIN SAG

Waxing won’t cause wrinkles or sagging skin since the skin is held tight, you can get a wax if pregnant or on your period, and waxing will keep the skin hair-free for weeks at a time. Any other questions? Feel free to contact us

Myth # 3 - YOU CAN WAX WHENEVER YOU WANT.

This is absolutely false. The key to a successful (and less painful) wax experience is regular appointments every four weeks. A good rule of thumb for clients is for you to let your hair grow for three weeks after shaving and then four weeks after waxing before a service. This hair growth, while it can feel uncomfortable (but it’s ok, it’s worth it), allows the growth on the outside to mirror the growth under the skin, creating a smoother, less breakout prone wax.

Myth # 2 IT WILL IT GROW BACK THICKER, STRONGER, DARKER?

Well if this was true, every bald man on the planet would be doing it right? We know it seems like waxing would cause hair to grow back thicker, stronger, and darker, but the reality is it’s just not true. While shaving breaks off the hair at the surface, waxing pulls it from the root, progressively debilitating the follicle. Truth? The more you wax, the sparser your hair will grow.

Myth #1 - DOES IT HURT?

The first time, yes. While everyone has a different level of pain tolerance, the first time is always the worst. Why? Well for starters it’s shocking to have previously unwaxed hair pulled out by the root. But the fact is if you come in every four weeks (and we mean every four weeks), that first time is the most hair per square inch you will ever have pulled out. So, if you are concerned about pain, make waxing a regular part of your routine…a consistent four week schedule is the key to a less painful experience.

TOP WAXING MYTHS DEBUNKED
Stay tuned as over the next 4 days for biggest myths where waxing is concerned and
so let’s just get right to the point tell it like it is yes, there are a lot of opinions, rumours, and myths out there that can make the decision to start waxing…or keep waxing…a difficult one. But as passionate a believer in the benefits of regular waxing, I am here to debunk all those myths and set the record straight. Here are a few that as a waxer I get asked all the time and are on most of my customer’s minds.

Tip #3 - WHAT TO DO AFTER YOUR WAX
Post wax care is a crucial step in the overall wax experience. Your professional waxer will want you to follow a few simple steps post-wax to ensure a smooth outcome. Waiting 24-hours is the magic number for most things post-wax such as working out and staying away from tight-fitting clothes. Also avoid direct heat, sun, and heavy lotions for maximum results. If you are prone to breakouts, be sure to apply something for blemish control. This will go a long way in keeping the hair follicle clear, suppress bacteria, and jump-start the healing process. Continue to use it several days post-wax for the best results. And finally, be sure to start exfoliating and moisturizing the skin 24-hours after your appointment. Using the same body wash and exfoliating gloves, focus on areas just waxed to clean and moisturise.

Tip #2 - WHAT TO WEAR
Might as well dress comfortably especially when you might not be feeling comfortable, right? But by comfortable, we don’t mean leggings. Stay away from anything tight-fitting, and instead think maxi dress, loose pants, and anything that is made from breathable cotton. And you don’t need to wear your bikini bottoms or bathing suit; your underwear is fine.

Tip 1 - HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR BIKINI WAX

First (and this is very important) resist the urge to shave, tweeze or have any hair removed before your appointment. Your wax professional does not care what it looks like down there, we promise. Doing any sort of tidy up prior to your appointment can affect your overall results. A good rule to follow is to wait at least three whole weeks after you’ve shaved for your next appointment. Be sure to come to your wax appointment clean and definitely not post-workout. Anything you are waxing should be freshly washed to help keep any post-wax issues at bay. The warmer and sweatier your skin, the harder it is to wax. Don’t underestimate the benefits of exfoliating when it comes to waxing. Nothing prepares your skin better than ensuring it is free of dead skin cells, and that your skin and hair are soft prior to waxing. Regular exfoliating also helps with proper hair growth and can keep ingrown hairs from being an issue post-wax. Try using a soothing liquid body wash and exfoliating gloves daily a few weeks prior to your appointment.

Waxing Facts and Myths

#1 waxing makes hair grow thicker - False

When hair is waxed correctly it is removed from the root so that when it grows back the tip is finer. With regular waxing hair becomes finer and sparser 😉
