Threading & Waxing Pre & Post Care🔥

For: Brow, Lip, Chin, Full Face Threading | Facial Waxing | Body Waxing (Arms, Underarms, Legs, etc.)

To avoid sensitivity and ensure a clean, smooth result:

Avoid retinol, AHAs/BHAs, or exfoliating acids for 3–5 days prior to facial waxing or threading.
Hair should be at least ¼ inch long (about the length of a grain of rice) for effective waxing.
Exfoliate the area gently 24–48 hours before body waxing (do not over-exfoliate).
Do not shave the area for at least 1–2 weeks before your appointment.
Avoid sun exposure, tanning, or heat on the area for 48 hours before.
Clean skin only—please avoid applying creams, oils, or deodorant on the area being treated.

Threading uses a twisted thread to remove hair at the follicle—perfect for brows and facial areas.
Waxing uses warm or hard wax to quickly and effectively remove hair on larger or more sensitive areas.
Some redness, sensitivity, or tingling is completely normal—especially on the face or underarms.
Your esthetician will apply a calming product after treatment and give you personalized aftercare tips.

Care for the treated area gently to prevent irritation or breakouts:

Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying makeup to facially waxed/threaded areas for 12–24 hours.
Do not exfoliate, shave, or use active skincare for 3–5 days post-treatment.
Avoid tight clothing or friction (especially for body waxing) for the first 24 hours.
Skip workouts, saunas, or hot showers for 24–48 hours to reduce inflammation.
Apply a soothing product like aloe vera or post-wax gel if needed.
For underarms: avoid deodorant for at least 24 hours.

Redness, slight swelling, or bumps may appear for up to 48 hours.
Mild itchiness or sensitivity is common (especially with coarse hair areas).
“Wax pimples” or post-wax folliculitis may occur—keep the area clean and avoid touching.
Threading can cause small pin-dot bleeding, especially if it’s your first time.

Please avoid this service if you:

Are currently using Accutane, retinoids, or strong exfoliating treatments
Have a sunburn, active acne, rash, or broken skin in the area to be treated
Have cold sores or active infection (especially for lip threading or waxing)
