Clients always ask me questions like… “Is my hair long enough?” “Did I wear the right pants?” “I always get ingrown’s, what I can do to stop them?” I decided to post these FAQ and answers 
Q: How long should my hair be before I have it waxed? A:The hair should be at least 14 of an inch long… also, make sure all of your hair is the same length and grown in where it should be – otherwise, you’ll end up with uneven hair growth!
Q:How do I stop all of the ingrown hairs!? A: Exfoliate! Exfoliate the area to be waxed (bikini, underarm, face) prior to your appointment. Hair absorbs water, and softened hair is more difficult to remove. It is best to shower and exfoliate a few hours in advance of your appointment, and exfoliate 24-72 hours after your wax too! (this stops dry dead skin from clogging up the recently open hair follicles)
Q: I am so sensitive in my bikini area, is there something I can do to ease the pain during waxing? A: If you are really sensitive to waxing, try taking advil or a mild dose of ibuprofen a few hours before your appointment. If you don’t want to use an internal pain reliever, try a topical gel or ointment (ask your pharmacist for a recommendation) within the hour before your appointment.
Q: Is it dangerous to expose the waxed area to the sun immediately after my wax? A: Yes it is! Don’t expose the newly waxed skin to the sun right away, wait at least 48 hours for sensitive area’s like your bikini… SUNBURN ALERT!
Q: Why does the area that has been waxed appear red and bumpy!? A:It is normal. Don’t worry! Some people have no redness or swelling and some have redness for a few days. Apply some Tea tree oil or witch hazel on the area – both known for their healing properties! Ice is an option too, and it can also reduce the pain and minor swelling post wax. If the swelling or redness gets worse… if you see any areas opening, or appear more like a wound than a swollen follicle – see your dr. The open wound could be the sign of a staph infection, and, open wounds are prone to infection and NOT normal.
Q: How long will it take for hair growth to show? A: The hair should begin to grow back between 3-6 weeks after the hair removal. Everyone is different and growth may vary due to hormones and individual circumstances.
