FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Here at Waxology101, we prefer clients to stop shaving, trimming or the use of nair at least 3 weeks or more  before a wax appointment. 

• Take a warm shower/bath at least 2 hours before the appointment. This helps the skin to soften up and the pores to open 
• Wear loose clothing. (No jeans, tights, lace underwear, etc.)  
• Take an ibuprofen at least 30 mins prior to your wax appointment. 
• Avoid alcohol/caffeine at least 2-3 hours before the appointment. This can cause the skin to be more sensitive by in-taking alcohol/caffeine too close to your appointment. 
• Hydrate with lots of water. Waxing over dehydrated skin can cause sensitivity or waxing over dry skin which can cause discomfort. 

• Make sure you schedule your wax appointment on a day that you are not busy afterwards. In order to prevent any possible irritation, you do not want to do anything that will cause you to sweat excessively.
•  Wait at least 24-48 hours before you workout, sit in a sauna or go to the beach/pool. 
• Make sure to wear loose clothing only as stated above for the remainder of the day.  
• Follow your after-care instructions. Each client may have different after care steps depending on your hair and skin type.

• Absolutely! As long as you place in a new tampon right before your appointment starts or use a menstrual cup during. However, you are more sensitive during this time & at least 3 days before your cycle starts.
•  Schedule your wax appointment accordingly if you know you tend to be more sensitive or heavy during your cycle.
