Want the best results possible? Aftercare is just as important as the wax itself! ✨ A few simple steps can make a huge difference when it comes to smoother skin, fewer ingrown hairs, and getting the most out of your wax.
Before your wax 💕
✨ Let your hair grow to around the length of a grain of rice! This usually means at least 3 weeks after shaving or 4 weeks after your last wax.
✨ Exfoliate 2–3 days before your appointment to help remove dead skin and allow the hair to come out more easily.
✨ Avoid tanning, sunbeds and self-tan for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
✨ Come to your appointment with clean, product-free skin.
✨ Avoid exfoliating or using active skincare on the day of your wax.
✨ If you’re heading to the gym before your appointment, make sure you have a shower before coming in! Clean skin helps reduce the chance of bacteria entering freshly waxed follicles.
The first 24–48 hours ✨
Your skin is a little more sensitive after your wax, so give it a bit of extra love while it settles! 💖
💕 Avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms and swimming.
💕 Avoid the gym, heavy sweating and intercourse, as friction and bacteria can irritate freshly waxed skin.
💕 Wear loose, breathable underwear and clothing where possible to help minimise friction.
💕 Keep showers warm rather than very hot.
💕 Avoid perfumed products, deodorants, oils, active skincare and any type of exfoliation. This includes ingredients such as retinol, AHAs, BHAs and vitamin C.
💕 Try not to touch the area unnecessarily.
💕 Mild redness is completely normal and should settle quickly.
Between your waxes 🤍
This is where the magic happens! ✨ Consistent aftercare is one of the best ways to prevent ingrown hairs, reduce irritation and keep your skin smooth between appointments.
💖 Start exfoliating again 2–3 days after your wax, then continue 2–3 times a week. I usually reccomend Mon Wed Fri!
💖 Moisturise every day to keep your skin healthy, hydrated and happy.
💖 I always recommend using a chemical exfoliant rather than a scrub or exfoliating glove. It’s much gentler on the skin, doesn’t cause micro-tears, and works deeper into the pore to help prevent ingrown hairs.
💖 Try to avoid shaving between appointments where possible, as regular waxing gives the best long-term results.
💖 Keep up with your regular waxing appointments for smoother results over time.
My favourite aftercare products 💕
If you’re not sure where to start, I retail my two favourite aftercare products in the studio because they’re the ones I genuinely recommend to my clients! ✨
💖 Ingrown Hair Pads – My number one recommendation! They’re a gentle chemical exfoliant that helps prevent ingrown hairs, bumps and blocked follicles while keeping your skin smooth between appointments.
💖 Body Lotion – Daily moisturising is just as important as exfoliating! A lightweight body lotion helps keep your skin hydrated, supports your skin barrier and leaves your skin feeling soft and healthy.
A little reminder 🤍
Everybody’s skin is different, so healing can vary slightly from person to person.
If you ever have any questions about waxing, aftercare or products, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! I’m always more than happy to help and would much rather you ask than guess. 💖
Frequently Asked Questions 💖
💕 What if I’m nervous or it’s my first time?
Don’t worry—it’s completely normal! 💕
I’ll explain everything as we go, answer any questions you have, and make sure you feel as comfortable as possible throughout your appointment. There is absolutely no judgement here!
💕 Is waxing painful?
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but most clients are surprised by how manageable it is! One of the things I hear all the time is, “That was the quickest, easiest and most comfortable wax I’ve ever had!” 💖
💕 Do you do Hollywood waxes?
Yes! I combine Brazilian and Hollywood into one service. By default, everything is removed, but if you’d prefer to leave a landing strip or triangle, just let me know! ✨
💕 Is the full butt included?
The Brazilian includes the butt strip only. If you’d like the full butt waxed as well, you can either add it on when booking or let me know at your appointment. 💖
💕 Can I wax if I’m pregnant or plus size?
Absolutely! 💖
The positioning may be slightly different depending on your bump or what feels comfortable for you, but don’t worry—I’ll guide you through everything.
💕 Can I wax during my period?
Of course! I just ask that you wear a tampon or menstrual cup during your appointment. I also keep tampons at the studio if you need one. 💖
Just bear in mind that your skin is often a little more sensitive around your period, so it may feel a bit more uncomfortable than usual.
💕 What if I have sensitive skin?
That’s absolutely fine! I actually have really sensitive skin myself, which is one of the reasons I chose to specialise in hard wax. I’ll always adjust where needed and recommend the best aftercare for your skin. 💖
💕 How long does my hair need to be?
Your hair should be around the length of a grain of rice (about ¼ inch). This is usually at least 3 weeks after shaving or 4 weeks after your last wax so the wax can grip the hair properly and give you the best results! ✨
💕 What should I avoid before my appointment?
Avoid tanning, sunbeds, self-tan and active skincare on the area for at least 24 hours before your appointment.
Don’t forget to exfoliate 2–3 days before your wax rather than on the day! ✨
💕 What should I wear to my appointment?
Whatever you’re most comfortable in! After your appointment, I’d recommend wearing loose, breathable underwear and clothing if possible to help minimise friction while your skin settles. ✨
💕 How often should I wax?
Most clients book every 4–6 weeks. Keeping to a regular schedule usually means better results, more consistent hair growth and a more comfortable wax over time! ✨
💕 Can I shave between appointments?
I don’t recommend it where possible. Shaving can disrupt your hair growth cycle, whereas regular waxing helps you get the best long-term results. 💖
💕 What should I avoid after my wax?
For the first 24–48 hours, avoid hot baths, swimming, heavy sweating, tight clothing, perfumed products and intercourse.
You’ll find my full aftercare guide on the Aftercare page! 💖
💕 Will I get ingrown hairs?
Ingrown hairs can happen to anyone, and some people are naturally more prone to them than others. 💖
The good news is that following a good aftercare routine, exfoliating consistently and keeping your skin moisturised can make a huge difference. If you’re not sure what products to use, I’m always happy to recommend the products I use and stock in the studio! ✨
💕 Is waxing hygienic?
Absolutely! Hygiene is one of my biggest priorities. I use hard wax only, I never double dip, all my tools are thoroughly sanitised between every client, and every appointment is carried out using strict hygiene standards. 💖
💕 Still have questions?
If there’s anything you’re unsure about before booking, just send me a message! I’m always more than happy to help. 🤍
