Waxing in Ferndale

Let Your Hair Grow
Ensure your hair is at least a quarter-inch long (about the size of a grain of rice) before your waxing session. This length allows the wax to grip the hair effectively for optimal removal.

Exfoliate Gently
A day or two before your appointment, gently exfoliate the area you plan to have waxed. This helps remove dead skin cells and can prevent ingrown hairs, making the waxing process smoother.

Avoid Moisturizers and Oils
On the day of your waxing session, avoid applying moisturizers, oils, or lotions to the area being waxed. Clean, dry skin allows the wax to adhere better to the hair.

Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before your appointment. Well-hydrated skin can be more resilient and less sensitive to waxing.

Minimize Sun Exposure
Avoid sunbathing or using tanning beds at least 24 hours before your waxing session. Sunburned skin is more sensitive and can make the waxing process more uncomfortable.

Communicate with Your Technician
Let your waxing technician know if you are using any medications or products that could affect your skin’s sensitivity, such as retinoids or acne treatments.

Wear Comfortable Clothing
Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment to avoid irritation after your waxing session. Tight clothes can rub against freshly waxed skin and cause discomfort.

Plan for Aftercare
Avoid activities that may cause sweating, such as working out or hot baths, for at least 24 hours after your waxing session. Keep the waxed area clean and moisturized to soothe the skin.
