Book on Fresha
Getting waxed for the first time can feel daunting, but proper preparation makes all the difference. Here's your complete guide to getting ready for a smooth, successful waxing appointment.
Before Your Appointment
Hair Length Matters
Your hair should be about 1/4 inch long (roughly the length of a grain of rice). If it's too short, the wax won't grip properly. If it's too long, trimming may be needed.
Exfoliate Gently
Exfoliate the area 24-48 hours before your appointment. This removes dead skin cells and helps prevent ingrown hairs. Don't exfoliate on the day – your skin needs to be calm.
Skip the Moisturiser
On the day of your appointment, don't apply lotions, oils, or moisturisers to the area being waxed. These can create a barrier between the wax and your hair.
Wear Comfortable Clothing
Choose loose, breathable clothing – especially if you're having a bikini or leg wax. Tight clothing can irritate freshly waxed skin.
