Waxing is the safest and most effective way to remove hair at its root. Re-growth is finer; there isn't any stubble; and hair grows back much more slowly. If you shave before your initial treatment, allow your hair to grow for at least two (2) weeks, and repeat waxing every four (4) weeks.

Did You Know? Chemicals That Don't Mix

As you schedule your waxing appointment, bear in mind that it is always helpful to inform us if you are taking medication, including antibiotics. Please also tell your esthetician if you use Retin-A, glycolic acid, Acutane, Benzoyl Peroxide, tanning products, or acne creams. They can affect how the skin responds during waxing. In certain instances, we advise clients to postpone service.

After Waxing

After waxing, new growth begins in about one week. Sometimes after the third week, it is ready to wax again. Hair growth should be one-half or one-third less of its total volume. We recommend you wax at about the fourth week, at this stage in the growth cycle because the whole idea of waxing is to have as little hair as possible, right?

We DO NOT advise letting all your hair grow out before waxing again. This process could take up to three months. The benefit of regular waxing is that the follicle will eventually give up growing a replacement hair. Some people who have waxed for years experience only 20% hair re-growth.

Hair Breakage

Not every hair comes out by the root when waxing. In fact, most people experience hair breakage after waxing. A variety of factors cause hair breakage. Factors may include having thick or coarse hair and tight follicles, which are more resistant to coming out of the root, causing more breakage. As waxing is continued on a consistent basis, follicles usually begin to loosen and less hair will break. It only takes one waxing for the hair to grow thinner.

Skin

If your skin holds moisture, it is more likely that the top layer may peel. Skin may be overly moist after a recent shower or perspiration. If your skin is moist just before waxing, be aware that your skin may peel off from the waxing.

Face Waxing

This type of waxing is particularly vulnerable to skin peeling and a rash that may last up to a week. We highly recommend keeping the area moist with an antibiotic ointment (available at About Face and Body) for at least three days after the waxing is done. We do not recommend face waxing for those who use Retin-A, Accutane, high concentrations of Glycolic Acid or similar products. These types of products make the skin very thin and sensitive. Please notify your Esthetician if you are using any acne or exfoliating preparation on your face. About Face and Body is not responsible for any skin that may come off during waxing.

Important Skin Care for Waxing Clients

  • Wash with anti-bacterial soap before waxing and just after waxing.
  • Use a loofa daily to prevent ingrown hair.
  • We recommend MD Formulations Body Scrub and Body Wash. These products retard the hair re-growth, along with a consistent waxing regimen.

We encourage you to arrive a few minutes early to unwind before your appointment. If you are late we will make every effort to accommodate you, but we may not be able to provide all of your services. Please note that series cardholders must check with the front desk prior to leaving, in case services have run out.

Hot Stone Massage

Melt Away the Day...Discover the benefits of a Hot Stone Massage. The use of hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times. It melts away tension, eases muscle stiffness, and increases circulation and metabolism. A hot stone massage is a massage that uses smooth, flat, and heated rocks, placed at key points on the body. They can also be placed in other areas too such as between the toes, or in the palms of the hands. The heat of the rocks causes muscles to relax, which in turn allows more toxins to release and it improves circulation. The therapist is able to apply deeper, more precise pressure if desired or necessary. Our professional massage therapists then incorporate a customized massage, with the use of hot stones. This creates a healing and relaxing experience. The benefits of Hot Stone Massage have even been used in the treatment of insomnia, muscle aches, back pain, stress and anxiety, poor circulation, and arthritic conditions. People who tend to feel chilly and have cold feet love the massage. Experience the calming, and soothing benefits of Hot Stone Massage today.
