Waxing FAQ

THE BRAZILIAN & BIKINI WAX brazilian wax

The "Brazilian" differs from a regular bikini wax because hair is removed in the front, back and everything in between. Sometimes a "landing strip" is left in the front.

The Bikini wax basically only removes the hair that extends outside the elastic line of your underwear or swimsuit.

PREPARATION FOR ALL BODY WAXING
If time allows, please exfoliate lightly 24 hours before coming. This helps ward off ingrown hairs and speeds up your waxing visit. 

FIRST TIME WAXERS
If you are nervous about your waxing visit, rest assured I have a breathing technique to help ease your nerves. I want your visit to be as comfortable as possible. Take an Asprin or Ibuprofen 1 hour prior to your visit and avoid caffeine to help reduce the pain factor. It is not necessary, but for very sensitive people, I do carry a topical anesthetic that you may purchase. It should be applied 10-15 minutes prior to your visit. It’s a fast acting topical anesthetic gel that takes the “sting” out of hair removal.

Any discomfort is brief, and totally worth the end result. And remember, if you wax consistently (every 4-6 weeks), the hair growth is reduced and the hair texture becomes finer and softer with each waxing session, making the next appointment easier than the last. 

HEALTH CONCERNS
Please know that I DO NOT DOUBLE DIP when performing waxing services. To prevent the harmful spread of bacteria, a new disposable spatula is used each and every time more wax is needed.

Tanning FAQ

BEFORE TANNING

Shave and exfoliate thoroughly. Pay special attention to your legs, knees, ankles, feet, elbows and knuckles. This will eliminate dead skin cells and prepare you skin for a flawless tan.
Make sure your skin is free of lotions, oils, prior sunless tanning product and deodorant.

CLOTHING

It is recommended that you wear dark, loose fitting attire after being sprayed to avoid rubbing off areas of your tan.
• Most minor rub off will easily wash out of most fabrics, but some lighter colored materials, including leather and silk may stain. Dark cotton works best.
• Wear an old, dark colored bathing suit or undergarments to be sprayed in. 

AFTER TANNING

• Do not shower or wet your skin for 4-6 hours after being sprayed.
• Avoid activities that would cause you to perspire between the tanning session and showering phase.
• Avoid extremely hot showers, long exposure to chlorinated pools or hot tubs.
• Do not use any loofah or washcloth when showering (avoid exfoliation). This will cause the color to come off sooner.
• Liquid soaps applied by hand are ok. After you shower for the first time and every time after that, moisturize your entire body and face.
• Avoid any products designed to exfoliate. This will help extend the life of your tan.

MOISTURIZE

The more you moisturize the longer it lasts! It also determines how it fades. It is recommended to moisturize 2-3 times a day. The face and hands usually fade first because we wash our face and hands more often. You may also purchase post tanning lotion. This is great for touch-ups in between tans.
