Waxing Do's and Dont's | What You Need to Know

Thank you for considering Bare Me Waxing! If you are looking for a 10 min Brazilian wax, this isn't the studio. We take our time to properly educate you on what to expect during a wax, answer any questions, and explain proper aftercare tips. 

Hairs need to be long enough for wax to adhere to area being waxed. The Brazilian area requires 2 weeks growth after a shave. Face and underarms grow in faster, so one week after a shave is long enough growth. 

Tight clothes are a no no after a wax. Even wearing underwear after is sometimes not best. Wear loose clothing during a Brazilian wax (e.g., loose dress, tights, sweats) Trust me, it will feel better and allows the area to breathe.  (It's also easier to do cartwheels of joy back to your car)

*Please bring a towel if you sweat when nervous*

It is crucial not to trim before a waxing. We seem to think longer hairs hurt more. Guess what? . . . It's the short hairs that hurt the most! The shorter the hair, the thicker it is. Hair grown over 2 weeks are in there shedding phase and ready to fall out on their own. So, leave it alone and let me trim if necessary. 

 Exfoliate gently after the recommended waiting period and keep skin moisturized. Regular exfoliation and hydration help reduce the risk of ingrown hairs and improve future waxing results. 

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize. Yes, you heard it here. Moisturizing the area needing to be waxed nourishes your skin and hair for an easier & faster waxing experience. This also assists in preventing ingrown hairs after a waxing treatment. Oils to use: Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil, and more.

- No hot shower before a body waxing. Hot skin with hot wax does not go well together.

- No exfoliating 5 days prior to a waxing. 

- No gym or any kind of exercise that requires sweating as this could cause irritation &/or ingrown hairs.

- No toilet paper use after a wax. This can irritate the skin after a wax. Baby wipes only.
