Yes. Before your appointment, you’ll want to stay hydrated and keep your skin moisturized, this helps in avoiding redness and irritation.If it is your first time getting waxed, avoid doing so directly before a special occasion or event as you do not know how your body will react to the wax treatment. If you tend to experience pain while being waxed, it would be wise to take an over-the-counter pain reliever before your appointment. Avoid tanning 24 hours prior to your appointment. Avoid any sweat-inducing exercise directly before your appointment. After your appointment has concluded, avoid heavy direct sunlight on the waxed areas as sunburn on the freshly waxed skin can be very painful.For our female clients, avoid waxing when your skin is sensitive. We typically advise avoiding scheduling an appointment during your time of the month as your skin is incredibly sensitive at this time.
