Summer waxing tips from Elevate

Memorial Day is just around the corner which means the beginning of summer and for most people, the start of making waxing a MUST in their self-care routine!!

At Elevate Salon Institute we train our future Estheticians to be the best at all services including waxing.

Our first recommendation is to regularly get waxing. The more you get it done, the finer the hair grows back. When there’s a big break between sessions it can be like starting over. Waxing is so much better than shaving because the result lasts longer, your skin is smoother and you don’t have to worry about those pesky razor bumps! We’re happy to help no matter how often you wax and we provide waxing services on not on the face but the body as well.

Here are some helpful tips so you can have the smoothest skin wherever you go:

1. Grow out your hair for about 2-4 weeks. You want to have at least ¼” long hair before waxing. If the hair is too short, the esthetician won’t be able pull the hair, causing extra irritation.
2. Lightly exfoliate the day before your appointment. It helps to get a clean wax and prevent ingrown hairs.
3. Do not get any harsh treatments such as a peel or a micro-dermabrasion before or directly after your waxing appointment. Avoid harsh chemicals or strong products as well for the next few days.
4. Continue to use an after-wax product to keep your skin protected and if you are going to be in the sun, make sure you have that SPF handy!

If you have any more questions about waxing feel free to give us a call and set up that appointment!!

Happy Summer, everyone!!!
