Waxing Tips

Before

  • Be sure the area to be waxed is free from cuts, rashes and acne. It’s a good idea to check the list of contra-indications (reasons not to provide treatment) on this website. If you have any concerns before waxing, it may be a good idea to read over this list or call us.

  • Do not shave area prior to waxing

  • Hair should be at least 6-8mm long (shorter hair may not be able to be removed)

After

  • Do not exfoliate after treatment (wait until redness has disappeared)

  • Avoid touching the waxed area (to prevent dirt getting into pores & leading to pimples or irritations)

  • Avoid very hot showers immediately after treatment

  • Apply ingrown hair cream/gel to assist in reducing ingrown hairs

Specific Brazilian Waxing Tips

  • Perth Body & Beauty service women only for brazillian waxing

  • Please mention when booking if this is your first brazillian or whether it has been past 6 weeks since your last brazillian wax

  • Numbing spray can ease the discomfort of waxing – and can be applied 10 minutes prior to treatment. Please advice when booking if you require numbing spray.

  • Avoid shaving between brazillians (& waxing generally)

  • Maintaining regular brazillian visits (less than 6 weeks – ideally 4 or so weeks) leads to lesser pain & discomfort and helps regulate hair growth
