We recommend not shaving for at least 2.5 to 3 weeks prior to your reservation. After your first wax, we suggest you wax every four to five weeks (This helps remove the hair that was growing underneath the skin at your last appointment).

After your first waxing, the results can last 2 to 3 weeks depending on the individual’s hair re-growth rate. In most cases, hair growth is minimal during the first week or two and noticeably increases in the third and fourth week.

Don’t schedule around that time of the month.

Don’t schedule a wax within three days prior to your period. Your skin tends to be extra sensitive during that time.

Take a shower and exfoliate beforehand.

This may seem obvious, but it’s worth a reminder. You’ll feel less self-conscious if you suds up at least 24 hours before your bikini waxing session. Even better, taking a warm shower (or bath!) right beforehand softens your pores, making the actual process less painful. In the days leading up to your appointment, give your body a good scrub with a mild exfoliant.

Plan your outfit (and day) accordingly.

Post-wax, your skin is often red and sensitive. Wear loose clothing to your appointment so you’ll be comfy afterwards. For the rest of the day, you should steer clear of applying too much friction from tight-fitting clothing or exercise, lest you may wind up with even more irritation or ingrown hair in the waxed area. The less heat you bring to the area, the better.
Good news: The redness should go away overnight.

Plan post-wax pain management.

The fastest way to soothe post-waxing irritation is to apply an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream.
It calms inflammation, quells itchiness and reduces redness.

Yes, the sun and heat do boost hair growth

The summer season has a beneficial impact on the growth of your hair due to extended periods of sun and higher temperatures. The warmer weather boosts the supply of nutrients needed for keratin production. The production of this protein (essential for hair growth ) is increased and your hair grows faster.

If you haven’t waxed or shaved for over 2 months we recommend to slight trim it so the wax can reach your skin. Trim it leaving around 1inch long as we will need a good length so the wax can stick on properly as the hair is mostly likely to be strong and will need a good grip to be able to remove it.

Yes you can. Please just use a fresh tampon, or menstrual cup if you are having your Intimate area treated

There is no link connecting Laser Hair Removal to negative effects on pregnant women or when breastfeeding. However, there is also no evidence to guarantee it is actually a safe treatment to have during this time either.

We would also always recommend a patch test post labour, even if you have had laser hair removal before. The body goes through so many changes, and we would want to be sure that you aren’t going to have any kind of reactions.
