Shower before you come in. The cleaner you are, the more throrugh we can be.

If you are really anxious about the pain, pick up one of our numbing creams. Leave on for an hour before your service, its helps.

2 Advil seem to help some women. More than 2 can thin the blood and increase your risk of bleeding.

Getting high or drunk doesn't make it easier. Either condition lowers your resistance.

You tend to be more sensitive right before your period.

If you have your period, please put a fresh tampon in right before your service and you'll be fine.

Avoid a lot of alcohol the night before a wax. It can thin the blood and increase your risk of bruising.

If you want the hair to come out easier and more thorough, try our water based scrub in the shower before your appointment. Works great and loosens up those stubborn hairs that like to stick to your skin.

Don't fight me. It just makes the service take longer and will leave your sking more red and irritated.

Make sure you use enough oil to get rid of the wax residue while you are in the salon. Leftover wax can irritate the skin.

Thoroughly wipe your entire bikini area with a baby wipe so you get the oil out of your pores. Leftover oil can clog & cause bumps.

Use a hot soapy wask cloth in the shower at some point the same day after your wax. It finishes cleaning out the pores to reduce bumps.

Do Not use powders or lotions on the bikini area or your will increase your rish of ingrowns and irritation.

We do have several after wax roll on solutions that are made specifically for the bikini area if you are prone to ingrowns. They are not expensive, should last several months & are very effective.

If your stay red for more than one day, pick up some "No Trauma Momma." It is a cream that calms the redness.

If there are a few strays, just tweeze them in the direction of the hair growth.
