It is normal to experience slight soreness, small bumps and redness, particularly if it’s your first time waxing. These symptoms should become less intense over the next 24-48 hours. If you experience persistent redness or irritation, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Here are some tips to help you prepare your skin, prevent skin irritation and have the most comfortable waxing experience possible.
BEFORE TREATMENT
- Shower or bathe 3 hours before your wax treatment.
- Trim hair for bikini or Brazilian wax- it should be the length of an eye lash.
