How To Prepare For Your Waxing Appointment
One of the most important ways to prepare for your Ottawa waxing appointment is to exfoliate the night before or two days before. Gently exfoliating the surface you plan on getting waxed helps remove unwanted dead skin cells. Whether you are getting eyebrow waxing, bikini waxing, or leg waxing, this will make your hair easier to remove. You can effectively exfoliate your skin the night before using a gentle scrub and cloth or loofah. Although exfoliating is important, make sure to skip the lotions and creams on the day of your appointment to ensure the best possible hair removal results at Smudge Beauty Bar.
PREVENTING IRRITATION
Properly exfoliating your skin before your waxing Ottawa appointment is extremely important for optimal results and to help prevent irritation or ingrown hairs. When waxing is done properly with professionals like those at Smudge Beauty Bar, there should not be a significant amount of pain during your session. You can help avoid irritation during and after your hair removal appointment by wearing loose fitted clothing and avoiding perfumed products like lotions or creams. Some guests find that taking Tylenol or Ibuprofen thirty minutes to an hour before their visit helps with comfort, while avoiding excessive activity or using a cool compress for twenty four hours afterward ensures your skin stays calm and smooth.
Waxing FAQs
Do waxing treatments hurt?
Yes and no. If you’ve never had a waxing treatment, your first experience might be a bit more painful than for someone who regularly gets waxed. After several waxing appointments, you’ll start to experience less and less discomfort and the procedure will be much quicker and smoother.
What is a Brazilian Wax?
A Brazilian wax is the complete (and we mean complete) removal of hair around your most intimate areas – kind of like a bikini wax on steroids. This waxing method removes all of your pubic hair, behind, above, and around every corner.
What's the best way to get rid of post waxing skin irritation?
The most simple and yet the most effective way to calm down your skin after a waxing treatment is by properly moisturizing your skin.
Waxing removes the top layer of epidermis and also strips away the skins natural oils and moisture. Using the right type of moisturizer can help restore moisture and will also rejuvenate your skin.
I'm a Wax Virgin, What Should I Expect?
If you’ve never had a wax before, there’s no need to worry, there’s a first time for everything!
Simply let our team know that it’s your first time and we will gladly walk you through the entire process. Our experienced team of waxers can answer all your questions and help make your first experience as pleasant and pain free as possible!
Will my hairs grow back thicker or Stronger After a Wax?
No. This is a common myth and misconception – that hairs grow back thicker and stronger after a wax.
Waxing actually stops hair growth and results in finer hair growth. However, it’s important to keep in mind that waxing is a temporary hair removal solution and does not completely stop the growth of hair.
How Often Should You Get A Wax Done?
It varies from one person to their next based on how fast their hair grows and what their hair removal goals are. On average, we recommend getting waxed every 4 weeks for optimal results.
This timeframe allows for less skin sensitivity and also your hair will typically be at the right length for your next wax.
