What to Know Before Booking a Waxing Appointment
Published on June 2, 2025
New to waxing? Here’s what to expect, how to prepare, and tips for getting the best results from your appointment.
If it's your first time booking a waxing appointment, it's normal to have questions. From prepping your skin to post-wax care, being informed helps ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.
Before Your Appointment
- Let hair grow to at least 1/4 inch — about the size of a grain of rice.
- Exfoliate 24-48 hours beforehand to remove dead skin cells.
- Avoid using lotions or oils on the day of your appointment.
- Take a deep breath — discomfort is minimal and quick!
Aftercare Basics
- Wear loose clothing and avoid friction in waxed areas.
- Stay out of saunas, pools, and gyms for 24 hours.
- Moisturize and exfoliate regularly to prevent ingrown hairs.
Waxing becomes easier and less painful the more consistently you do it. Our professional estheticians are here to walk you through every step!
