Other concerning factors for waxing:

• Menstrual Cycle- You can still get waxed while on your period, but you may be more sensitive especially in the pelvic region. Please have a clean tampon, cup or disc in place for a bikini/brazilian wax 

• Cancer- You can usually be waxed if you are in remission or not being treated with chemotherapy or radiation, and if your skin is well hydrated and in good condition. Medical approval may be needed 

• Diabetes- You can still get waxed, but there is a higher risk of reactions. Healing may be slower

• High blood pressure/Heart conditions- May be more sensitive 

• Thyroid disorders/medication- May be more sensitive. Skin can be more dry so be extra aware of home care routine. Discoloration after waxing can occur 

• Hormone issues- May be more sensitive and dry. Waxing may not thin hair growth that is caused by uncontrolled hormone imbalance

​

Waxing Preparation

Prior to waxing services: 

• Ensure your hair has 3-6 weeks of growth (must be about 1/4 inch long for waxing to have good results) 

• Discontinue the use of chemical exfoliants such as BHAs, AHAs, glycolic or lactic acids, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, retinols and retin-a at least ONE WEEK prior to being waxed. These products can cause the skin to become dry or thinner and increase the chance of skin peeling or "lifting" with the wax ​ 

• Avoid sun or UV exposure, spray tanning or tanning lotion before your appointment. Sunburned skin CANNOT be waxed, and waxing will remove color from your spray tan ​ 

• Exfoliating once a week, moisturizing daily, staying hydrated, and exfoliating the day before your wax will help you achieve the best results! 

• Avoid chemical peels and other strong skincare treatments for one month before your appointment. 

• Limit your caffeine and alcohol consumption before your waxing service- these can increase your sensitivity and your skin's reaction to being waxed 

• You must be off of Accutane or any other acne medication for 12 months prior to being waxed.

• Come in with a clean face free of makeup.

​
 

Lash Extensions Preparation

• Please arrive without any eye makeup. 

• Please avoid caffeine or stimulants before your appointment. This helps to reduce eye twitching and restlessness. You will be lying still for multiple hours (it's okay to fall asleep!)

• Wear comfortable clothing  

• Avoid using waterproof mascara for a couple days prior as it can leave a residue that may prevent lashes from adhering properly.

• Avoid using sunscreens or moisturizers around your eyes prior to your appointment.

• Don’t curl your lashes prior to your appointment

• Wear your glasses or remove your contacts prior to your appointment.

 

We recommend that you get your full set of lash extensions 2-4 weeks before any big event, such as your wedding. Then, schedule a fill as close as possible to the event date. This ensures time for any design changes and to monitor for adverse reactions and gives you the best looking results for the big day!

 

RESTRICTIONS: Extensions should not be done on weak, damaged lashes or if you have had a lash lift in the past 4-6 weeks. Extensions should not be done if you have any symptoms of eye infection, irritation, history of lash adhesive allergy or any present trauma to the eyelid skin/lash line.
