Measure Up!
The ideal length for hair is approx. ¼” or 6mm. Still unsure? No biggie, we’ll gladly trim you up before your wax. For all you shavers, make sure to come at least 3 weeks after breaking up with the razor.
Clean House
Take a warm shower before your appointment to help prep the skin, and put the loofah into play to help smooth your skin and prevent ingrown hairs. Don't have time to shower? We've got wipes in the wax rooms to help you freshen up.
Be Proactive
We aim for more of an “aw” than “ow” experience. Pop an aspirin 30 minutes before your wax to help minimize involuntary yips and yelps.
Body Scan
Give yourself a once over and check for any cuts, scrapes, moles, skin tags and cold sores, and be sure to let your Fuzzologist know of anything before the service starts.
Au Natural
Skip the lotion, gels and oils as it may interfere with hair removal. This also applies to tanning up to 24 hours before – best to avoid it as it may up the ouch-factor.
Steer clear of prolonged exposure of heat – including saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools, sun bathing, as well as intense exercise for 24 hours after your wax.
We recommend never shaving in between appointments. Razors will throw off your natural hair regrowth and cause the hair to grow back coarse.
We advise keeping your freshly waxed areas clean and free of products, including lotions, gels, deodorant and perfumes until the following day to avoid any irritation.
Taking the time to exfoliate and moisturize regularly is the key to keeping your skin smooth, soft and free of irritation. We carry some amazing products to ease all of your woes and worries.
