WAXING 101
FAQ
What kind of wax do we use?
We use a hard wax, that is custom blended for effective hair removal with minimal skin irritation. I use the same wax for all areas of the body. It is exclusive to Agave Glow.
Can I wax when I am pregnant, or on my period?
Yes you can! I only ask that you wear a tampon or cup if you are on your period. Please note that while pregnant or on your period you may be more sensitive, and may experience more discomfort.
What reaction/downtime should I expect?
Everyone reacts differently, but most commonly you will be irritated for a couple of hours, up to 24 hours. After skin has normalized all regular activities are fine. I recommend not working out, or getting in hot tubs/saunas, or tanning until skin has normalized.
How often should I come in to get my wax?
I recommend waxing about every 4 weeks.
How long does the hair need to be to be waxed?
The hair needs to be about a 1/4 of an inch, like a grain of rice or longer. As a general rule of thumb it can only be too short, not too long.
How can I prevent Ingrown hairs?
A good exfoliation routine is essential, but I can help with some ingrown specific products such as Serious Serum to make exfoliation more effective.
How long does waxing last?
Ideally you are smooth for 2-2.5 weeks, and then you have a week to 1.5 weeks of regrowth before your next wax. Sometimes this takes a couple waxes to get all the hair on the same growth cycle.
What should I do and not do before my wax?
If possible you can exfoliate 24 hours or more before your appointment, however this is not required. You may chose to take an ibuprofen 30 minutes before to help with inflammation and pain. You should avoid caffeine if possible 4 hours before as it may cause more sensitivity.
