Hair in the area to be waxed needs to be at least a ¼ inch long (about the length of a grain of rice), which is about 2-3 weeks of growth. 24 hours before being waxed, gently exfoliate the area to remove dead skins cells, and allow for an even cleaner wax (this is especially necessary for leg waxing)
Waxing is not suitable for anyone that is currently on Accutane or that has been on it within the past year. Prescription and OTC retinols and Retin-A’s should be avoided for a minimum of two weeks before your waxing, and possibly longer depending on your skin type. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to send us an email at thelashdistrict317@gmail.com
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but we do everything possible to ensure the most pain-free experience possible. You may take an ibuprofen 30 minutes before your appointment to help alleviate pain. We recommend not consuming any alcohol or heavy amounts of caffeine before your appointment, as these can cause your pores to tighten (ouch!).
Sunburned skin should be completely healed before waxing and sun exposure should be kept to a minimum for at least 48 hours after waxing, and longer if possible.
Here are a few tips to help you prepare for your wax appointment:
-No hot baths or showers for 24 hours , OPT FOR COOL WATER
-No saunas, hot tubs, massage or steam treatments for 24 to 48 hours.
-Wait 24 hours before applying any tanning agents to the skin.
No sunbeds for 24 to 48 hours.
-Wear loose-fitting clothes immediately after to prevent friction and irritation.
-Avoid working out at the gym or other sorts for at least 24 hours.
-Avoid scratching or touching the treated area with unwashed hands.
-Avoid swimming, saunas, and steam rooms for a minimum of 36 to 48 hours.
-Avoid using fragranced or perfumed products on waxed areas.

Waxing offers numerous benefits, including long-lasting results and hair that grows back thinner and softer. Unlike shaving, waxing eliminates itchy stubble and provides an instant confidence boost by leaving your skin smooth and hair-free. It also eliminates razor burn and exfoliates the skin, helping to reduce ingrown hairs. By removing hair from the root, waxing decreases hair growth over time, ensuring you enjoy smoother skin for longer.
It's possible but not probable. Some clients are smooth as a baby's bottom after their first experience. However, it is common that after the first 2 or 3 waxings you may feel a wee bit of stubble. NO shaving, tweezing or waxing between visits. This will cause the hair growth to be in different cycles, we want to wax when all the hair is on the same cycle.

Yep! There is no need to be concerned about waxing while you are pregnant. We wax many of our clients up to the time that they are due to deliver. It is nice to be all cleaned up down there before the baby comes. Some are just a little more tender during the wax but not all.

If you are on or have been on Accutane in the last year then you should not be waxed! You need to wait 1 year before waxing. The skin is generally very sensitive during and after Accutane. If you use Retin-A, Glycolic, Salicylic, other acid treatments and certain medications you may not be able to be waxed for up to 2 weeks after you have stopped using them.
