Waxing Appointment Tips

Hair should be at least 1/4-1/2 inch in length and that should take about a week after shaving to get to that point.
Don't drink caffeine or alcohol at least 4 hours before your appointment.
Users of Retin-A, Renova, Differin or Accutane are advised not to have waxing performed in the areas that they are using these medications tend to weaken the skin and tearing may occur when wax is removed.
If you wax before your period; not only you are more tender, hormones make hair more coarse, making it possible to break rather than pull out. Waxing is better if not within 2 days before or after your period.
Don’t apply any products to skin for several hours before waxing, if possible.
Take a shower if possible, just prior to your appointment. Hot water opens pores and allows hair to
come out easy, making it less painful for you.
Do not go tanning 24 hours before or after waxing.
Take an aspirin or Tylenol 30- 45 minutes before your appointment to minimize discomfort.
Wear loose clothing and avoid sweating for at least 24 hours post body wax.
Do not go into a hot tub or swimming right after waxing, especially bikini. Heat, chlorine and salt may irritate, sting and feel uncomfortable.
Some clients experience a slight irritation after waxing lasting a few minutes to a day, depending on skin sensitivity. We recommend the use of a 1% Hydrocortisone cream. We also recommend this for the treatment for any post waxing bumps or hives.
Exfoliate gently with a gentle, non-oil based scrub 2 days after and 1-2 times per week after to help prevent ingrown hairs.
Skin is sun sensitive after waxing, avoid tanning 24 hours after waxing.
If you bleed, bruise or have skin that tears easily, waxing may not be the ideal form of hair removal for you. Some physicians do not recommend waxing for persons suffering from diabetes or who have varicose veins or poor circulation as they are more susceptible to infections. Check with your Doctor.
Repeated waxing also often times shows softer regrowth versus other methods. Waxing should be repeated every 4-6 weeks dependant on clients hair growth.

Tinting Appointment Tips

Katt is phenomenal when it comes to skincare and overall people-care. She nourishes your skin and soul. I'm guessing myself and my teenage daughter have gone to her for ~7 years and she leaves us feeling physically and mentally better after every visit.
We moved out of state 3.5 years ago and we make every effort to see her for waxes and facials whenever we return to IL.
I was lost when I had a severe allergic reaction over the summer and she guided me back to a stable complexion by remote rescue. 🙂 She's hands down the best in the biz.
