Mens Spa Treatment
Just like women, men also deserve a customized spa treatment. Getting regular pampering sessions is an amazing way of detoxing, cleansing your skin, and making you feel relaxed. There are various spa treatments that will put a smile on your face that you should indulge in as many times as possible. Here are some of these spa treatments:
Massage
A massage is one of the most effective ways to get rid of muscle tension, relieve pain, and prevent injuries. After spending the entire week carrying out strenuous tasks, your muscles are most likely in pain and your energy levels are at their lowest. A deep tissue massage is a great way to get rid of the tension, stress, soreness of muscles, and stress. You can also opt to get an aromatherapy massage or any other gentle massage if you feel that a deep tissue massage is too much.
Body Scrub
Exfoliating your skin aids in removing dead cells and renewing of your body. This will make your body soft to touch and with a glow that everyone you interact with will notice. If you mostly commute to the gym and back almost every day, you may have some acne on your back, neck or arm. Getting a professional scrub will help in getting rid of all the residue in your skin, making it more youthful, radiant, and to top it all, fresh!
Waxing
Are you struggling with excessive weight in your body and are looking for the best way to get rid of it? Get in touch with a waxing specialist in a spa. Whether you need waxing for your eyebrows, back region, chest or stomach among other regions, he can handle it. The process will allow you to stay for longer without having to worry about unwanted hair and this will boost your self-esteem.
If you have sensitive skin, you can go for laser hair removal which is friendlier though the cost is higher. The professionals at the spa will go out of their way to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible during the hair removal. For instance, they will apply a numbing cream before the treatment or ask you to take some pain medications to make the process less painful.
Manicure and Pedicure
You don’t have to get ashamed every time a lady takes a look at your hand when all you need is a manicure or a pedicure package. After your appointment, you will look forward to shaking the hands of your business associates, significant other or even your family. A smooth and well-manicured hand will boost your confidence and as a result, you will be more productive in your place of work.
Facial
Just like women, you can also suffer from aging effects, dry skin, oily skin or even flare-ups. It is a fact that men do not take as much time as women do to moisturize and cleanse their skin which could lead to bacteria or gunk buildup. Getting a facial will restore your outer glow and, in turn, your inner shine will manifest.

Types of Wax that can be Used for Waxing Hair Removal

8/27/2019

Wax Types in Hair Removal
Waxing hair removal is a simple process of hair removal that will take a few hours but the results will last for a longer time compared to shaving. There are different types of wax that can be used in a professional waxing hair removal spa in Farr West. The right choice will depend on the sensitivity of the client’s skin, the part of the body that requires waxing, the client’s preference, and the preference of the aesthetician as well.
Below are the different types of wax that can be used in a professional spa:
  • Soft Wax: This type of wax is used on a large part of the body like the arms, legs, chest, or the back. An applicator will be used to spread a thin layer of the wax on the part of the body where the hair removal is taking place. Once this is done, a strip will be applied on the waxed part and then pulled off using some force to ensure that the hair is removed from the roots.
Once you have applied soft wax on a specific part of the body, the process should not be repeated as this could lead to severe bruising and irritation as well.
  • Hard Wax: This wax is used for waxing small and sensitive parts of the body like the armpits, the bikini area, and the facial region as well.  The wax is preheated and then cooled off before the application before being applied on the skin. The main benefit of hard wax is that it never sticks to the skin but only on the hair being removed.
The wax can be applied several times on one part of the body without causing any severe rashes or irritation.
  • Fruit Wax: This type of wax is also used in the same way as the hard wax and is more preferred for those who have sensitive skin. It contains fruit extracts that will help in nourishing the skin and make the process less painful. This type of wax is more expensive as a result of the added benefits.
  • Chocolate Wax: This wax contains chocolate which is an antioxidant. Using this type of wax will lead to less pain and reddening of the skin after the waxing hair removal procedure. It is also an expensive type of wax due to the many benefits that will proceed out of its use.
  • Sugar Wax: This type of wax is made using sugar, lemon, and water that have been pre-heated. The use of this type of wax is best suited for those with sensitive skin since the ingredients used in making it are natural. It can be applied to one part of the body several times without causing any bruises or reddening.
Now that you know the different types of was that can be used in a professional waxing hair removal spa, you can make an informed choice depending on the part of the body where the waxing will be carried out. Your aesthetician will help you in making the right choice that will be efficient for the waxing.

Waxing Myths You Should Let Go

7/19/2019

0 Comments

 
Waxing in Clearfield Utah USA
​There is a lot of misinformation in regards to waxing that makes people stay away from it. Some think that the process is too painful or that the hair will be thicker or darker when it grows back. Here are some of the misconceptions about waxing that will help you make an informed decision when going for a waxing hair removal appointment:
Myth 1: Your Hair Has to be Long to Wax
Though you will need some hair for the wax to grip on, it does not have to be very long. If it is too long, the aesthetician will not be able to remove it from the roots and you will need to go for another appointment sooner. Long hair will also make the process more painful as the wax specialist will have to repeat the same sport at least twice before the hair is removed.
If you have been going for waxing hair removal when your hair is too long, it could be the reason why you feel too much pain and you fail to get good results every time. The recommended hair length when going for waxing is a ¼ inch and if the aesthetician will be working on your eyebrows, they should be 1/8 inch long.
When starting, you will find it difficult to measure the length of your hair but this will get easier with time. You will be able to feel the length of your hair and trim it to the right length every time you need to go for waxing.
Myth 2: Waxing is Very Painful
Though waxing hair removal is associated with some pain, it is not as painful as some people put it. The amount of pain varies from one person to the other and will depend on your level of tolerance. The stress level, gender, the time of the month if you are a woman, and whether you are relaxed or not will affect the amount of pain you will feel.
If your tolerance to pain is low, you should ensure that you do not go for waxing hair removal when you are on your menstrual periods as you will feel more pain. If you were not able to go for waxing before menstruation, wait until this period is over.
There are those that have a low tolerance to pain and if you are among them, you can take some pain relieving medications before the waxing. You can also use a numbing cream before your waxing appointment as it will make the waxing process more comfortable.
Another way to make waxing less painful is by exfoliating before your waxing appointment. You can use homemade scrubs for exfoliating as they have not chemical and will be very friendly on your skin. If you don’t have the time to do this, you can purchase a good scrub from a local store. You have to be very careful when buying a scrub so that you don’t end up buying a scrub with harmful chemicals or one that you can only use on the face.
After the waxing, you can apply a cold compress to ease the irritation and follow other aftercare procedures given by the aesthetician.
Myth 3: Waxing May Cause Wrinkles
Some people think that due to the constant pulling of the skin when removing unwanted hair on the face, it will cause wrinkles. This is not true. In most cases, wrinkles are as a result of exposure to the sun, stress or even genetic for some people.
When the aesthetician is removing your hair, he will stick the waxing strip on your hair and not on the skin. This means that there will be no direct impact on your skin except for some irritation when the hair is being pulled out.
It is important, however, to ensure that you get the guidance of a professional regarding the frequency of waxing. Based on the results of your first waxing, he will know the right time to go for another appointment. As long as you follow this schedule, your skin is safe and you will not be at risk of damaging your beautiful skin.
Myth 4: Waxing is Very Expensive
Though you will pay a higher price for waxing hair removal compared to shaving, the cost long term is very low. You will stay for up to 6 weeks before going for another waxing appointment and within this time, you would have spent a lot on buying razors.
Waxing does not require daily maintenance but for shaving, you will have to work on your skin daily to sustain the good look. Another benefit of waxing is that your hair will thin out with time and you will stay for longer before going for another waxing appointment. This will make waxing even cheaper, unlike other methods where you have to go for a retouch every other day.
Myth 5: Waxing is Embarrassing
When you go to the spa for your waxing appointment, you don’t have a reason to be embarrassed. The aesthetician who will be working on your hair is a professional and has handled hundreds of hair removal clients. He will go out of his way to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible even when you need bikini waxing or for any other sensitive part of your body. He will keep whatever happens during the process in confidence and will not even discuss it with his colleagues at the spa.
Myth 6: Waxing is for the Younger Ones
This is not true as you can go for waxing hair removal regardless of your age or gender. Waxing is an effective hair removal method that is not influenced by your age, gender, skin tone or even body type. Get in touch with the aesthetician today and book your hair removal appointment. You will be amazed at how smooth and beautiful your skin will be after your waxing appointment.
Waxing is a safe and effective hair removal method that will be right for you, whether young or old. It is cheap long term though you will pay a higher price to start with. You should ensure that the aesthetician who will be removing your hair is not only trained but has vast experience in waxing. this way, you will have the assurance that nothing will go wrong in the hair removal process.

Why is Laser Hair Removal Better than Waxing?

7/17/2019

0 Comments

 
Laser Hair Removal V. Waxing
Laser hair removal is a reliable hair removal method that is trusted by many for removing unwanted hair from the body. The fact that the results last longer and are permanent for some makes more people prefer to use the laser method instead of waxing. Here are some of the reasons why you need to book your laser hair removal and forgo waxing today:
The Results are Permanent
Unlike waxing where you have to repeat the process after every three weeks, laser hair removal is a permanent method. You will go through several treatments and with each treatment; the hair on your body will grow thinner. With time, you’ll be completely free from all unwanted hair which will save you a lot of money.
When removing unwanted hair through waxing, the aesthetician will remove unwanted hair from the roots. After a few weeks, the hair will start growing again and you have to repeat the process again. For laser hair removal, the laser beams will destroy the hair follicles and this means that the hair will not grow back again.
There are no Risks of Getting Ingrown Hair
When you remove hair through waxing, there are high chances that you’ll get ingrown hair which is very painful and unpleasant. With laser treatment, there are no chances of getting ingrown hair after your hair removal. Your skin will be smooth just like it was before the growth of the unwanted hair.
Laser Hair Removal is Fast Compared to Waxing
When you go to the spa for a waxing procedure, the aesthetician may take up to one hour to complete the treatment. For laser hair removal, however, the process is fast and may take between 5 and 40 minutes.
Level of Pain
Waxing hair removal is associated with a lot of pain as the aesthetician tries to pull out unwanted hair from the roots. If your pain tolerance is low or you have sensitive skin, you may not be able to withstand the process.
During a laser hair removal, you’ll not feel as much pain as that of waxing. All you’ll feel is as if your skin is being scrapped using a rubber band. Though you’ll feel a little discomfort, it is nothing compared to the pain of waxing hair removal.
Cost
Though you’ll pay a high cost for laser hair removal, the results of the treatment will be permanent. This means you’ll stop spending money on hair removal with time which makes the process more economical long-term.
Waxing hair removal costs less compared to laser hair removal for each session. However, after every three weeks, you’ll have to book another waxing appointment to get rid of the hair that is growing back. This will make the process more expensive as you’ll keep spending money for as long as you want to keep your body free from unwanted hair.
Side Effects
Here are the side effects of waxing hair removal
  • Ingrown hair
  • Redness or irritation of the skin
  • Pain on the treated area
  • Bruises or blisters
  • Bumps or rashes
  • Skin infections
There are other rare side effects of waxing such as wrinkled skin especially if you undergo waxing for a prolonged period. You may also suffer from allergic reactions if the aesthetician did not carry out a patch test to know how your body will react.
Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal
  • Redness or irritation of your skin
  • Scarring
  • Change in skin color
If you go to a substandard spa where they don’t have the right laser machine, you can suffer from more severe side effects.  You can get burns or blisters, scars or your skin can suffer from hyperpigmentation. It is possible to avoid these side effects by going to a professional spa where they have the right tool and the aesthetician has adequate training.
Cost
Most spas will offer waxing hair removal method which makes it possible for more people to access the services. Some can even go as far as carrying out the waxing process in the comfort of their homes. For laser hair removal, however, you have to go to a professional spa. If you live far from places where professional spas are located, you will have a difficult time accessing the service. Despite this, laser hair removal is the better option and your efforts of getting the service from a professional spa will not be in vain.
There are some parts of your body that are too sensitive to be subjected to the pain of waxing. For these, you’ll need to undergo a laser hair removal process which is less painful and safer. You will pay more for the service but the amount will guarantee a safe hair removal for the sensitive parts of your body.
The Bottom Line…
Laser hair removal will penetrate the skin surface to destroy all the hair follicles and prevent future growth of the hair. You will stay for a long time without hair on the treated area and if there will be any growth in the future, the hair will be hardly noticeable. When booking your first laser hair removal appointment, remember that your hair will not disappear with the first treatment. You’ll undergo a series of treatments through which the hair follicles will be destroyed. If you don’t turn up for these appointments, you cannot blame the aesthetician for poor results.
Though laser hair removal is a less painful process, it does not mean it is a smooth sail. You should be prepared for a little discomfort as the aesthetician works on your hair. You can take some pain relieving tablets; apply numbing cream or some ice on the part being treated to reduce the intensity of pain. With this, you’ll be comfortable throughout the treatment process and this will, in turn, make the process faster.
Get in touch with your aesthetician today and book an appointment for effective and less painful hair removal. Within a few months, you’ll be all smiles as your body will be free from any unwanted hair.

What is the Best Way to Exfoliate Before Waxing

7/14/2019

0 Comments

 
Waxing the Skin is a great way to exfoliate
For a successful waxing procedure, there is a need to exfoliate your skin. This will help in removing dead skin so that the wax will stick on your hair and not your skin. Exfoliating will also make the waxing process less painful and fast as well.
If this will be your first waxing procedure, you may not know the best way to exfoliate. Here is a guide on the best exfoliating methods before your waxing.
Rough Cloth
If you want to keep your exfoliating process simple, you can use a rough cloth. All you need is to take the cloth, soak it in warm water, and then use it to rub your skin. To make the process more effective, make small circles as you and ensure that you don’t leave any part of the skin untouched. You should use the pressure that is most comfortable for your skin to avoid suffering from skin irritation before the waxing.
The greatest benefit of using a rough cloth is that you will not suffer from the side effects of using chemicals on your face. If your skin is sensitive, this is the best method for you and will also be affordable if you are working on a budget.
Exfoliating Bar Soap
There are some exfoliating soaps that are made from textured products such as oats, sugar or microbeads, among other products that you can use to scrub your body. The bar soaps have a rough texture and will be very effective in removing dead skin, dirt, and debris that would have made waxing difficult.
You can purchase an exfoliating soap that has moisturizing ingredient as it will be more beneficial to your skin. If you are looking for an exfoliating process that is fast and effective, exfoliating soaps are the way to go.
Gentle Sugar Scrub
You will need half cup sugar, half cup olive oil, and some few drops of essential oils to make the sugar scrub. Once you mix all the ingredients together, you should store the mixture in an air-tight jar and only use a small amount that will be enough for the exfoliation. You should rinse off the skin after using the sugar scrub to get your skin ready for the waxing process.
There are various types of essential oils and you can choose the one that works perfectly for your skin. If you will be waxing often, you should experiment on different types and settle for the one that works best for you.
Citrus Salt Scrub
To make a citrus salt scrub, you will need 1 cup of sea salt, one cup olive oil, four orange slices, and four lemon slices. Put the above slices in your blender and turn it on for about 5 minutes and your scrub will be ready!
When taking your shower, you will use your citrus scrub just the way you use other scrubs. It is important to note that this scrub can make your skin sensitive which will not be very good for the waxing process. For best results, use it one week before going for your waxing appointment.
Oat Scrub
To make an oat scrub, you will need one cup fine oatmeal, half cup olive oil, and a quarter cup of brown sugar. For best results, you should grind your oats using a food processor at home instead of buying already ground oatmeal. When mixing the ingredients, ensure that it is not too dry for ease of applying on your skin. Massage the skin using the mixture for best results and then rinse it off.
Oatmeal scrub is perfect for you if you have sensitive skin but still wants to exfoliate.
If you have no time to make your own exfoliating scrub, you can purchase one at your local store. You should look out for the brand that you can use on the entire body and not for the face only. It is also important to consider the nature of your skin especially if you have sensitive skin.
Exfoliating is important when waxing as it will make the process much easier and less painful. It will ensure that wax will stick onto the hair and not on the skin.
Benefits of Exfoliating Before Waxing
  • Better Waxing Results: when wax sticks to your unwanted hair and not on your skin, it will be possible to remove the hair from the roots. Going to the spa with dead skin will not only get in the way of the waxing process but will also make the process more painful.
  • Enhanced Flow of Blood: Exfoliation will help in cleansing your skin and in return, the flow of blood will be better. The skin will be able to easily get rid of toxins and enhance the regeneration of cells.
  • Less Re-growth of Hair Between Waxing: when you exfoliate your skin before waxing, it will be possible to remove unwanted hair from the roots. This will help to keep your skin smoother for longer as the hair will take longer to grow back. The more you wax, the sparser your hair will become which will make the process more comfortable.
  • Less Pain: exfoliating before a waxing procedure will help in getting rid of dead skin, dirt, and excessive oils on the skin. This will make it easier for the wax to stick to the hair during waxing and not on the skin and as a result, you will feel less pain. If you previously felt a lot of pain when waxing, you should try to exfoliate before going to the spa as this will make the process more comfortable.
Regardless of the multiple benefits of exfoliating your skin before waxing, it is important to go easy on the process. Use products that do not have harsh chemicals as these can easily make your skin extra-sensitive to the wax. As you saw earlier, there are various homemade scrubs that will be very gentle on your skin and still serve the purpose. You can experiment with the several options and settle for the one that works best for you. If you cannot make a choice on your own, you can ask the wax specialist at the spa to recommend the best homemade exfoliating products.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Waxing Your Armpits

7/13/2019

0 Comments

 
Waxing Under Arms Clearfield Utah
Having hair-free armpits is one way you can have the confidence to lift your arms in public. You will be able to go out for swimming in public without getting embarrassed about how your armpits look. To achieve this, however, it is important to observe the following precautions:
Do Make the Necessary Preparations Before Waxing
Here are some of the preparations you need to undertake before going for your waxing appointment:
Take a Shower
It would be wrong to go for waxing when your armpits are full of dirt and sweat as these would make the hair removal less effective. For best results, you need to ensure that your armpits are clean before going to the spa. If possible use hot water as it will make the hair on your armpits softer, making it easier for the aesthetician to remove it.
There are times when you book your waxing appointment after work and in such instances, you will not be able to take a shower. However, this does not mean you will go into the waxing room full of dirt and sweat as it will make you uncomfortable. You can use the washrooms at the spa to freshen up as you wait for your turn.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating is important as it will help in getting rid of dead skin cells and stubborn dirt on your armpits. This way, the wax will be able to grip onto the hair and not on the skin which will make the process faster and effective. Exfoliation will also help in reducing the chances of getting ingrown hair after the waxing process.
Trim your Hair if it is Too Long
The recommended hair length when going for waxing hair removal is a ¼ inch. If your hair is longer than this, trip it using a pair of scissors before going to the spa. It will make hair removal faster and less painful.
Apply a Numbing Cream or Take Some Pain Medications
If your level of tolerance to pain is very low, it would be advisable to take some pain relieving tablets or apply a numbing cream under your armpits. This will make the process more tolerable and before you know it, your armpits will be free from unwanted hair.
It is important to avoid taking alcohol before waxing as this will interfere with your sense of judgment. For instance, if the aesthetician will be using hot wax, you will not be in a position to know if the wax is too hot which could lead to burns.
Do Wear Loose Fitting Clothes
After a waxing hair removal procedure, your skin will be sensitive and you will be uncomfortable in tight clothes. To make it easier for you, wear loose clothes that will not cling to your armpits when going to the spa. This way, you will be comfortable and recover faster from your hair removal.
Don’t Double Dip
Before you confirm your appointment at the hair removal spa, you need to visit the spa and see how the aesthetician works. Ensure that he does not dip the wax strip into the wax twice when working on a client as this would contaminate the wax leading to infections.
It is also important to ensure that the aesthetician cleans up the working area every time she finishes with a client. You wouldn’t want to go to the spa and lie on a sheet that was used by another client. If the condition of the spa is not satisfactory, the best decision would be to look for a better waxing spa.
Don’t Hit the Gym After Waxing
After getting rid of hair on your armpits, it is important to take a rest and give your armpits time to recover. Going to the gym after waxing will irritate your skin further, lead to reddening, and ingrown hair as well. The sweat may also lead to bacterial infections on your armpits which will ruin the benefits of the waxing process.
It is also important to stay away from hot baths and saunas as these will irritate your already irritated skin. Any public waters including the swimming pool should be a no go zone after waxing as you stand a higher chance of getting infections on the waxed area.
Do Choose a Trained and Experienced Aesthetician
However careful you are with the preparations for the waxing process, it will be of no benefit if you go to a substandard spa. You need to a person who has been trained and one that has spent years working as a hair removal specialist. He will know the right wax to use, the right temperature for the wax, and the right procedure to follow when removing hair under your armpits. With him, you will not only have a successful hair removal but will also ensure that you do not suffer from intense pain from the process.
By following the right preparations and aftercare for your waxing hair removal, you can be assured of having better results that will last for up to six weeks. The initial cost of your hair removal may be higher compared to other hair removal methods but the results are worth the additional cost.
To sustain the gains for your first waxing appointment, it is important to ensure that you go for all your appointments. The aesthetician knows the schedule that will work best for you without leading to any adverse side effects. You also need to follow all the aftercare procedures given after the waxing especially within the first 24 hours after waxing. It will be possible to continue with your life as usual after this without the fear of having hair all over your armpits.

How To Prevent Rashes Before, During, and After Waxing

7/11/2019

0 Comments

 
Waxing in Clearfield Utah
Waxing is among the most effective methods of getting rid of unwanted hair. You will be able to stay without hair for up to six weeks without hair unlike other methods such as shaving where you have to repeat the process after every few days. However, the fear of getting rashes before, during or after the waxing is a huge put off for most people. They are afraid that the waxing process will ruin their smooth and beautiful skin.
Here are some of the ways you can avoid getting rashes on your skin in the process of waxing:
Before Waxing
Before confirming your waxing appointment, it is important to ensure that your hair is of the right length which is at least ¼ inch long. To achieve this length, you should avoid shaving for at least 2 weeks before your waxing appointment. If your hair is longer than the recommended length, it would be right to trim it to the right length.
Your hair should not be too short as it will be harder for the wax to grab on or too long as the waxing specialist will need to make several attempts on one spot. Having too long or too short hair will interfere with the waxing process and you will end up using your hard earned money for an ineffective hair removal process.
Another effective way of preventing rashes before you go for a waxing hair removal appointment is by exfoliating before going to the spa. It will not only make the waxing process more comfortable but will also make it more effective. Exfoliating is also known to prevent ingrown hair.
It is important to notify the aesthetician if you are using any medications before the waxing begins. This is because there are medications that would make your skin more sensitive which is not very good for waxing.
On the day of your appointment, you should avoid applying lotions or any other moisturizers as it will get in the way of the wax. It will be harder for the wax to stick onto the hair if you apply a moisturizer on your hair removal day.
When Waxing
Though there are people that would carry out the waxing at home, it would be more convenient if you look for a good hair removal spa. Doing it at home may be cheaper and convenient since you will do it at your own time but you will be exposing yourself to a lot of risks.
Here are some precautions you need to observe when waxing:
  • Inform the aesthetician if you are using any medications before the waxing process are there are some medications that are contraindicated with waxing. For instance, if you are using retinol, Accutane or any antibiotic medications, let the waxing specialist know. He will decide if it is right to proceed with the hair removal or you should postpone it until you finish your medications.
  • Avoid double dipping at all cost: Before confirming your appointment at the hair removal spa, it is important to pay the spa a visit. You will be able to gauge the level of hygiene and how the aesthetician conducts hair removal. If you notice that he double dips when working on a client, look for another spa as this can easily lead to infections.
  • Do not apply wax on the same area more than twice: the maximum number of times the aesthetician can apply wax on the same place is twice. If he applies more than twice, you will at a higher chance of getting rashes or severe irritation from the waxing.
  • Ensure that the aesthetician uses high-quality products: when choosing a hair removal spa, ask about the products that the wax specialist will use to remove your hair. A good spa will use the best products that will not have a negative impact on the clients.
It is important to note that a spa that uses high-quality products will charge a higher price compared to spas that use substandard products. You should, therefore, be prepared to pay more for your waxing if you choose to go to a good spa.
  • Know When to Wax: waxing is a slightly painful process and you need to prepare well before going to the spa. Ensure that your hair is of the right length and that your skin does not have any sunburns or skin infections. After going for your pre-waxing appointment, the aesthetician will decide whether you can proceed with the hair removal or wait a little longer.
After Waxing
After a waxing hair removal process, your skin will be very sensitive and any mistakes will lead to rashes or other negative reactions. You need to remain cautious about what you engage in after waxing so that you will keep your skin looking good. Here are some of the precautions you need to observe immediately after waxing:
  • Avoid Strenuous Exercises: Your skin will be very sensitive after the waxing hair removal process and any rigorous activity such as going to the gym will make the condition worse. You should also avoid going to the sauna or using hot baths after waxing as the likelihood of getting bacterial infections are very high. Your skin will easily get irritated or even get burnt if you expose it to hot water immediately after waxing.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight:  exposing your skin to direct sunlight after waxing will lead to sunburns since your skin is already sensitive. If you must go out, apply sunscreen and wear protective clothing. This way, your skin will in no way get into contact with the sun.
After waxing, it will be beneficial to apply a cold compress on your skin as they will help in closing the pores. It will also help in preventing irritation or bacteria from getting into your body through the opened pores.
The amount you will spend on waxing hair removal in a professional spa may be more but the services you will get are worth the price. The aesthetician has worked on thousands of clients and will know the best wax for your skin and the best procedure that will make the hair removal more effective. If you must wax at home, buy high-quality products that will not cause any damages to your skin.

Amazing Tips for Staying Acne Free After Waxing

7/9/2019

0 Comments

 
Waxing The Spa and Lash Studio Clearfield
Waxing hair removal is a slightly painful process but the results are amazing and will last longer compared to shaving. You will enjoy up to 6 weeks of being free from unwanted hair which is amazing! However, the fear of getting acne or skin infections after waxing makes some people dread the process. They are afraid that waxing will ruin their smooth and beautiful skin.
Here are great tips that will keep your skin free from acne and infections after waxing hair removal:
​1. Clean the Part Being Waxed Before Going to the Wax Spa
One of the best precautions to keep you free from acne after waxing is to prepare well for the process. Exfoliate your skin some days prior to your appointment to get rid of any dirt or bacteria from your skin. Exfoliating will also make the process smoother, faster, and less painful.
If you do not exfoliate before waxing, the bacteria and dirt in your skin will most likely lead to acne or infections after the waxing process.
2. Avoid Touching Your Skin after the Waxing Process
After going through a waxing process, you may get tempted to keep touching your skin to feel the changes that have happened. You want to feel your smooth, hair-free skin, just like those models who advertise the beauty of waxing. The truth is, this is not a great idea…
Continuous touching of your skin after a waxing process may lead to acne breakout. Your hands may not be very clean and may transfer bacteria to the already sensitive skin leading to acne. Your hands may also have some oils or sebum and getting it on your sensitive skin may lead to acne or infections.
3. Do Not Go to the Gym Immediately After Waxing
If you are a gym addict, you may be tempted to pass by the gym immediately after the waxing process. Though this may sound like a great ides, it will not be your best option in this case as the excessive sweating during exercises can lead to breakouts. If you must exercise on the day of your waxing, go to the gym first, then proceed to the waxing spa.
If you must exercise after your waxing appointment, do not indulge in intense activities. Make it light and simple to avoid sweating too much.
4. Wear Loose Clothing
After a waxing process, your skin is very sensitive and needs all the space it can get to recover. Wearing tight clothes after a waxing process will have a negative impact on your skin and will make you very uncomfortable as well. In addition, when you wear tight clothes, the sweat you produce will cling to your skin and as a result, you may experience some acne breakout.
You will be in a better position if you wear loose clothes to the waxing spa as it will not cling to your already sensitive skin after the waxing procedure.
5. Avoid Popping any Pimple that appears on your Waxed Skin
However hard you try to keep your skin free from acne, you may still get some acne. If this happens, do not pop the pimple as this may lead to the spread of acne to the other parts of your skin. The bacteria in the pimple will move to other parts of your skin leading to more pimples.
Instead of popping your pimples, get a good acne removal cream and apply. You will be able to get rid of the pimples without having any negative impact on the other parts of your skin.
6. Avoid Oils
Though there are oils that are beneficial to the sin, you should be careful when using oils if your skin is prone to acne. The oils may end up clogging your pores leading to acne breakout after the waxing process.
To keep your skin moisturized, get an oil-free moisturizer such as aloe vera. It will keep your skin looking good and also help in soothing the irritated skin after the waxing process.
7. Go for All Your Waxing
To sustain the gains of a waxing hair removal process, it is important to go for all your appointment at the wax spa. The waxing specialist may request you to go for a retouch after three weeks or four depending on your hair growth rate. If you do not want to lose all the gains of your previous waxing appointment, keep your schedule.
The more appointments you go for your waxing, the lighter your hair will become. With time, your hair will be too light for anyone to notice or even completely disappear. You cannot afford to disrupt the process as this would mean going back to where it all started.
8. Avoid Swimming Pools, Hot Tubs or Other Public Waters for Some Time
Though you may feel the need to get into a swimming pool to cool off the heat of waxing, do not do so unless it is your private swimming pool. Your skin is very sensitive after the waxing and will easily take in bacteria from the waters. You will be in a better place if you go home and take a warm shower as this will not lead to any infections. If this is comforting enough, you can still go for your swimming tomorrow after you recover from the waxing.
Though the first waxing appointment may be a little uncomfortable due to the pain, it will get better with time. Your skin will get used to the process and this will make the process more comfortable. It is also important to ensure that the waxing spa you will go to uses high-quality products when waxing and that they observe high standards of hygiene. You can go to the spa before your appointment to take a look at things and if you are not comfortable with the condition of the spa, look elsewhere.
If this is the first time you will be going for waxing, talk to your friends or relatives and ask them to recommend a good spa. You can also check out the best waxing spas online and go for the one whose reviews are positive.

Why Men Should Wax Off their Facial Hair Instead of Shaving

7/5/2019

0 Comments

 
Facial Waxing Clearfield
The facial region in any man is the main focus and keeping it free from unwanted hair is one of the best ways to create a good impression. Most of the men have to shave in a fortnight for them to stay free from unwanted hair and this constant shaving is not very healthy. It could result in bumps or irritations and above all, a lot of time is wasted in shaving that could have been used in other tasks.
The following are some of the reasons why men should go for waxing instead of shaving facial hair:
  • The hair that will grow back will be thinner and finer: Once the facial hair has been removed through waxing, the one that will grow back will be less noticeable since it will be thin and fine.
  • The skin will undergo exfoliation: Waxing hair removal will help in the removal of dead skin cells and there will be no need to waste more money in exfoliation. The skin that will be revealed after a waxing hair removal will be more radiant and clean, making the man appear younger.
  • Precision: Unlike shaving where one will find it hard to shave on curvy and bony parts of the face, waxing will be easier. All a man has to do is to inform the aesthetician the hair that needs waxing and the one that should be left behind. At the end of the process, the desired look will be achieved.
  • The hair will stay for a longer time before growing back again: unlike shaving where the hair will grow back almost immediately after shaving, facial hair that has been waxed off will take up to 4 weeks before growing back.
  • It is cheaper: The cost of waxing hair removal is not high and one will be able to stay for a longer period before going for a repeat session. This is unlike shaving where one has to spend money every now and then in order to get rid of facial hair.
Waxing hair removal for men should only be carried out in a spa that is operated by professionals. Do not allow a person who does not know the right procedure of waxing to carry out the process since you want to spend less. Ask for recommendations from friends or relatives regarding the best spas to have a waxing treatment or look for online reviews from those who have had a waxing hair removal treatment.
A man has the right to look good without having to undergo the pain and the stress of everyday shaving. The first treatment may be more painful especially for those with coarse hair but once this has been successfully done, the subsequent sessions will be less painful as the hair will be thin and not as thick as it was before. As you progress, you will notice that the hair will take longer to grow back which means the waxing hair removal sessions will be further spaced. You will not only have a smoother face but also less budget will be allocated to facial hair removal.

Protocol of Using Hard Wax for Hair Removal

7/4/2019

0 Comments

 
Hard Wax in Clearfield
Hard wax is a depilatory wax that is used in the effective removal of unwanted hair without the need for a strip. It is mostly preferred for waxing hair removal in sensitive body parts like underarm, face, or the bikini area.
Hard wax will be very efficient for the removal of short and stubborn hair without causing too much irritation or redness on the skin. Below is a guide on the proper way of using hard wax for hair removal:
  • Put a wax in a wax warmer that has adjustable temperature and allow it to melt in the highest possible temperature for at least 15 minutes. You will then turn the temperature to a lower degree so that it can cool down to a temperature that will not burn the client which should be 130 degrees. If you notice that the wax is too hot, you can add cold wax to the wax heater as this will automatically lower the temperature.
  • Ensure that the skin that will be worked on during the waxing hair removal has been cleaned from all makeup and dirt as they may inhibit the proper working of the wax. The cleanser’s choice should be made according to the nature of the client’s skin. If the skin is sensitive, a cleanser that is made for sensitive skin should be used.
  • Once the skin is thoroughly clean, pre-waxing oil should be applied on the skin to prevent the wax from getting stuck onto the skin. It will also be a way of soothing the skin to ensure that there will be less irritation during the waxing hair removal. It is important to ensure that the skin does not get too oily.
  • Take the heated wax and apply it against the direction of the hair growth using considerable pressure. The thickness of the wax should amount to a banana peel and should have a lip towards the edge.
  • Once you are sure that the wax has settled, pull it against the direction of the hair growth and once this is done, apply pressure on the skin to provide a soothing effect on the skin.
  • Cleanse the client’s skin to help in closing the hair follicles and ensure that there is no residue that will lead to irritation after the waxing hair removal.
  • After the hair is removed, apply a soothing lotion that has ingredients like aloe, chamomile, or tea tree which will also provide an antibacterial benefit in addition to soothing the irritated skin.
It is important to inform the client of the best way that she will take care of the skin after the waxing hair removal. Some of the aftercare procedures will include staying away from the sun to avoid suffering from sunburn. Advice should also be given on the best products that will be used on the skin to reduce the occurrence of the side effects that may be caused by waxing hair removal. If the client will be able to follow the right procedure, he will be less likely to suffer from ingrown hair or breakouts that most affects those that allowed a person who is not a professional to remove the hair.

Possible Side Effects of Waxing Men’s Beards

7/1/2019

0 Comments

 
Mens Beards Waxing
​Men’s bodies are not as sensitive as women’s bodies and they have a higher capability of withstanding pain. However, even the strongest men at times feel the pain as a result of a waxing hair removal treatment and suffer from some of the following side effects:
  • Ingrown hair: after a waxing hair removal treatment, the possibility of having ingrown hair is very high. Ingrown hair is trapped beneath the skin instead of growing outwards and this may be very painful.
  • Peeling of the facial skin: during the waxing off process, the skin that is near the beards may get slightly burnt and may peel off. This condition can be minimized by ensuring that the wax is not too hot before the application. Always remember that a customer can sue you for damages if you use very hot wax without caring if he will get burnt or not.
  • Inflammation of the facial skin: The pressure that is applied during the waxing process may take its toll on the man and he may suffer from irritations. To minimize the irritation, a cold compress should be placed on the treated area as soon as the treatment is over.
  • Pimples: When waxing off a man’s beards, the top oily skin layer is removed making the skin that remains dry. This may lead to a breakout after the beard removal. To prevent this from happening, you should apply a small amount of powder before the waxing hair removal.
  • Bumps: If waxing hair removal sessions are arranged at very close intervals, bumps may appear. To avoid this, the aesthetician should space out the waxing sessions.
  • Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation: this is a condition where the skin changes its original color and either becomes lighter or darker. This condition may be temporary for some people and will go away after some time. For other men, however, the condition may be permanent and they will have to live with the consequences.
  • Pain: Every man who wants to have his beards removed via waxing hair removal should know that the process is not without pain and discomfort. Those who cannot bear a lot of pain should take some pain relieving drugs before the treatment.
  • Bruising: This side effect usually happens to those who have chosen an unqualified person to carry out the waxing hair removal on the beards. The bruising may also occur as a result of the intense pressure that will be used in the removal of the unwanted hair.
To reduce the occurrence of waxing side effects, one should always ensure that the process is carried out in a professional spa. No man should agree to have his beard waxed if the aesthetician has never carried out the process before. Booking an appointment with the aesthetician who will be carrying before the waxing will help you know if the aesthetician is a professional who knows what the process is all about or not. If you discover that he is not a professional, the best option will be to look for another professional spa.

Waxing Prices
The cost of waxing hair removal in Clearfield will vary from one spa to the other with some being too high while others will be too good to be true. This difference in price will also result to varying results after the waxing where those who pay a higher price will get a more excellent outcome while those who pay too little will get substandard results that could result to severe side effects. Below are some of the factors that will determine how much a waxing procedure will cost:
  • Choice of spa: Waxing hair removal spas do not charge the same for their services. There are those who set a high price in order to attract a particular group of clients whose only wish is to stand out no matter how much it will cost them. There are also spas that are new and though they offer great services, they have to offer competitive prices to get more clients. The prices in these spas are bound to go up once customers begin to increase. There are also spas that are operated by unqualified aestheticians who are desperate to get any client and will charge a very low price. During the treatment, they will use substandard materials since your money will not be enough to buy the best waxing tools and materials.
  • Location of the spa: Waxing hair removal spas that are located in high-end places in Clearfield will charge more for their services than those spas that are located where low income-earners live. You can choose to go to a spa that is located in such a place so that you will save more and still get the best services.
  • Qualifications and experience of the aesthetician: You may go to a waxing hair removal spa in Clearfield and discover that the more experienced aesthetician will charge more for the waxing than the less experienced. If you are willing to pay more, you will book an appointment with the more experienced aesthetician.
  • Part of the body being waxed: Different body parts will be charged differently. For an extensive area, the prices will be more while a small area like the underarm or the eyebrows will be charged less. You should be prepared to spend more on the chest and back region if you are a man and spend less if it is only the armpits that will be waxed.
Before you book a waxing hair removal appointment in Clearfield, you should know that waxing is not a permanent method of hair removal. You will require repeat sessions after every few weeks depending on the type of hair and the rate at which the hair is growing back.
If you are not willing to attend all the sessions, the waxing hair removal treatment may not give you the desired results. You should also make a good choice of the spa as this is the only way you can minimize the occurrence of side effects as a result of the treatment. A professional aesthetician may charge more but you will be assured of great results and a less painful experience in the course of the waxing.

Underarm Wax Side Effects

4/6/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
The smooth feeling that one will have after a waxing hair removal treatment on his underarms is quite exciting. You are happy that you will stay for a longer time without having to worry about any unwanted hair in your underarms, unlike the shaving method where you will have to keep checking if there is a new growth after a few days. However, despite these gains, there are side effects that could occur in the process of waxing hair removal in your underarms or soon after the process has been completed. Some of these side effects are:
  • Suppleness of the skin: This side effect will occur as a result of a pronged use of underarm wax for the removal of unwanted hair. The skin will begin to sag as a result of the pulling done during the hair removal which could make you look older than you really are.
  • Formation of wrinkles: As a result of the pulling of the skin, the sagging part of the skin will develop wrinkles gradually. This is also a long-term side effect from the use of wax for underarm hair removal.
  • Reddening of the skin or irritation: Due to the intense pulling of the hair, the skin under the arms will be irritated and could even turn red. This is a temporary side effect that will go away after a short while. You can apply a soothing cream on the underarms or ice to help in getting rid of the irritation and the redness of the skin.
  • Rashes or red bumps on the skin: These are very common side effects for persons who have a sensitive skin. For such people, the best option will be to use hard wax instead of the soft wax as it causes less irritation and there will be a lesser chance of getting the bumps after the waxing.
  • Ingrown hair: Since the waxing hair removal is done against the direction of the hair growth, the chances of getting ingrown hair are very high.
  • Infections: these are mostly a result of the use of dirty tools when carrying out the underarm waxing. If you get into a spa and discover that the room that will be used when carrying out the underarm waxing is dirty and the tools are lying all over, do not get on with the process in that spa. Instead, look for another spa where you will be assured that everything that will be used has been disinfected and the room is spotless.
  • Burns: due to the use of hot wax in the underarms, there is a possibility of getting burnt if the aesthetician is not careful enough to ensure that th4e wax is of the right temperature. The burns will be characterized by black spots or spots that have a reddish brown coloration. This may take longer to heal with some people taking up to one year before the spots disappear.
To reduce the chances of suffering from some of the side effects, look for a person who has a vast experience in underarm waxing as he knows the best ways of doing it. You should also ensure that the right products are used and not some cheap and substandard wax.

Preparation for a Bikini Waxing

Bikini Wax Clearfield
Bikini waxing is a sensitive procedure that will be carried out on one of the most sensitive and private parts of your body. This makes a lot of people quite nervous as they do not know how the process will be carried out or whether there will be too much intrusion into their privacy. If the bikini waxing will be done in a professional spa where the aestheticians know how to properly carry out the process, you will not have a reason to fear as the outcome will be perfect. The following are some of the essential preparations that you should carry out before the appointment time for the bikini waxing:
  • Ensure that the pubic area is clean: it is important to take a shower before going for a bikini waxing to be sure that there will be no bad odor on your bikini area when the process is being carried out. If you will not have the time to take a shower, you can get to the spa earlier than the time set for your appointment so that you can use their washroom to freshen up.
  • Avoid the use of alcohol before the appointment: Though some people will take a little alcohol to be able to bear the pain; excessive use of alcohol is not recommended. Alcohol is a blood thinner and will also make your body very sensitive to pain. When you are sober, you will be able to speak up if you feel that the process is not going as it should and this will reduce the chances of having your bikini area burnt.
  • Avoid shaving before the bikini waxing: Some people will shave their bikini area in an effort to appear tidy in the eyes of the aesthetician which is not right. The hair in your bikini area should be at least ¼ inch so that the specialist will have an easier time and to make the process more bearable.
  • Avoid going for a bikini waxing when you are having your monthly periods: During this time, your body is very sensitive to pain and the process will be very uncomfortable. It will also be quite uncomfortable for the aesthetician especially if the flow is heavy. If you must have the waxing done when on your menses, ensure that the sanitary towel is not soiled and will not be able to leak out the menses.
  • Use the washrooms before your appointment: Sometimes out of fear, a lot of people will feel the urge to pee when the process is ongoing. To avoid this, ensure that you get to the spa early so that you can use the bathroom before the appointed time. It will also give you time to familiarize yourself with the surroundings of the spa and this will make you calmer when going for your appointment.
Bikini waxing is a sure way of getting rid of unwanted hair in your bikini area where you will be able to have a prolonged hair free duration. Though the process is associated with some pain, the outcome is worth it if you will be able to get the process carried out in a professional spa.

Choosing the Best Eyebrow Wax

3/23/2019

0 Comments

 
Eyebrow Waxing
​When you decide to have your eyebrows waxed, there are various types of wax that one can choose from depending on the amount of money he wants to spend on the waxing, her personal preference, and your ability to withstand pain. Most people who do not want to undergo intense pain will go for the hard wax as it is less painful. Below are the different types of wax that you can choose from whenever you want to have the brows waxed:
  • Soft wax: For this type of wax, the wax is thinly spread on the eyebrows and a strip put over it. In a swift move, the strip is pulled off the brows and the excess hair will be left on the strip, leaving you with the desired shape on your eyebrows. This type of wax is mostly preferred when working on a large part of the body but that does not mean it cannot be used on the eyebrows.
  • Hard Wax: This is the type of wax that is recommended for use on small and sensitive parts of the body like the eyebrows, bikini area, and the lips. No strips will be required when using hard wax as it will only be allowed to cool and harden on the hair and once this is done, the aesthetician will pull off the was together with the excess hair that is stuck to it. The greatest benefit of using this wax is that it only sticks to the hair and not to the body and this makes it less painful when pulling out the hair.
  • Fruit Wax: this is also a great option for people who have a sensitive skin as well. The wax contains fruit extracts such as berries and plums that are great anti-oxidants and a source of vitamins which will play a vital role in nourishing the skin. The only downside to the use of this type of wax is the cost as it is more expensive compared to the other types of wax.
  • Sugar wax:  this is a combination of sugar, water which has been pre-heated and lemon. The fact that these are all natural ingredients makes it a good choice for people who are sensitive to harsh chemicals that are used to make other types of wax. Sugar wax does not stick to the skin but to the hair and this will make the process of removing unwanted eyebrow hair less painful.
  • Chocolate wax: This type of wax contains chocolate as one of the ingredients that are considered as a powerful anti-oxidant.  This wax also has glycerin and other beneficial oils that will act as an anti-inflammatory when the eyebrow waxing is ongoing.  The cost of buying this eyebrow wax is higher compared to what one would pay for other types of wax.
If you are not sure about the wax that will work best for the removal of unwanted hair on your eyebrows, it is advisable to let the aesthetician at a professional spa to make the decision for you.

Is Cheap Waxing Worth it?

3/19/2019

Cheap Wax
​We all want to save when making a purchase of getting services. Most of the time, you make a budget and promise you’ll spend only ‘this much’ for any service including waxing. When you check online, there are very good deals where people offer waxing services at very low prices.
Before you fall for these deals, here are a few questions you need to answer
Does the spa have waxing as the main menu or an addition?
If the spa that is offering waxing services at a low price is not exclusively a waxing spa, you need to reconsider. You do not want to go to a spa where the attendants will use you to test if they can carry out a waxing procedure.
Waxing is a sensitive procedure and you cannot afford to risk yourself in the name of saving money.
How long has the spa been carrying out waxing procedures?
To effectively carry out a waxing procedure, a waxing professional needs more than just a formal training. He needs to have carried out multiple waxing procedures on other clients and there should be evidence to that effect. If he cannot prove that he has been waxing for some time, do not consider going to that spa.
Does the waxing professional have formal training in waxing?
A trained waxing professional should have a license allowing him to offer waxing services. He should also have a certification to prove his competence. If he cannot prove this, you cannot have a guarantee that he has undergone any training.
When you go to any spa, check if there is a waxing license and if it is unavailable, go to another spa.
How is the reputation of the spa?
Check the testimonials that the customers who have received waxing services from the spa have submitted. If most of them are positive, you can consider getting your services from the spa. If, on the other hand, the reviews are negative, look for another spa.
How are the hygiene standards in the spa?
Waxing hair removal requires high standards of hygiene. You need to pay a visit to the spa to check the condition so that you can make an informed choice.
Check the general condition of the spa: for instance, how clean the floor is, the shelves, and the towels used during the waxing process. You also need to ensure that the aesthetician does not double dip the wax applicator during the waxing process.
If you have any doubts regarding the hygiene of the spa, do not confirm your appointment.
Do they use high-quality wax?
The wax that the aesthetician will use will determine the outcome of the waxing process. Just like the technology is changing, the quality of wax keeps getting better. If the spa does not stay up to date and uses the outdated wax brands, look for services elsewhere.
Are the staffs working at the spa professionals?
The staffs at the spa should show a high level of professionalism when carrying out the waxing process. From the receptionist to every other staff, they should not treat you as though what you’ll pay is all that matters.
If you feel that you are not being accorded the respect you deserve, look for another spa. You are paying for the waxing services and you deserve the best.
My Take…
Looking for a cheap waxing spa is not worth it if there is no guarantee you are going to get your desired results. What you are assured of getting from cheap services is more side effects and poor results from the painful procedure.
A professional waxing spa may charge more for the services but the results will be amazing. You will not suffer from burns or bruises and the process will take less time.
The waxing professionals in more expensive spas will offer value for your money. This is because they are not just looking at having you as their client today; they want you to keep coming back. In addition, the spa wants you to bring in more business to them by referring your friends to the spa.
Instead of thinking of how much you want to save, think of how perfect you want the process to be. Consider that the process will affect your skin, which is a vital part of you.
Is Waxing at Home a Better Option?
Though there are people that prefer to carry out the waxing at home, it is not always the best idea. To begin with, you’ll not be able to reach all the parts of your body. This means you will remove hair in some parts while others will remain the same.
Unlike a professional whose main aim is to get rid of the hair, you will be carrying out the process full of self-pity.  You may feel that the process is very painful and forget about it before completing the process. With a professional, you’ll easily bear the pain as you know that you’ve invested your money in the process.
The waxing process at the spa is much faster as the waxing professional has carried out so many procedures in the past. If you wax at home, you will take a lot of time and to make it worse, the process may not be successful.
If you have never had your hair removed via waxing, it is not advisable to do it for the first time at home. You need to go to a professional spa so that you can learn from the experts. You will be able to ask questions and to make it better; you will have an assurance that you will get amazing results.
Though you’ll pay more, the best waxing results will only be possible if you get the services of a professional. You will suffer from minimal side effects, the process will take a shorter time, and the hair will take longer to grow back.
Do not settle for the cheapest waxing spa where your safety is not guaranteed. You deserve the best and to get it, you need to make a sacrifice even when it means spending more money.

Waxing Myth and Fact
​If you go to most professional spas, you’ll discover that waxing is the most requested hair removal method. However, there are people that still hold on to myths that make them stay away from waxing.

Myth: you cannot go for waxing during your periods
Truth: your skin is very sensitive during your monthly period as your hormonal levels are very high. However, waxing small areas such as the eyebrows or the armpits will not be a problem at this time. For larger parts of the body such as the legs, arms or the pubic area, it is advisable to wait until you are over your periods.
Myth: waxing will harm your skin
Truth: After waxing, you may suffer from minor side effects such as skin inflammation or reddening of the skin. These side effects will only last for a few hours and your skin will get back to normal.
Your skin will glow after a waxing procedure as it will help in exfoliating the skin. The top layer of the skin is removed and a more radiant skin layer is revealed.
Myth: You should avoid waxing when pregnant
Truth: when pregnant, your skin will be very sensitive as a result of high hormonal levels. This may make the process more painful but it does not mean you should not wax.
If this you have never waxed before, it is advisable to talk to your doctor before going for a waxing procedure. He will advise you on the best time to go for your waxing treatment. For a person who has waxed before, all you need is a pain relieving tablet before the waxing and you can get on with the process.
Truth: you need to exfoliate before a waxing procedure
Exfoliating your skin before your waxing appointment will help to prevent ingrown hair or bumps. For best results, carry out the exfoliation a day before going for your waxing appointment.
Truth: your skin will be very sensitive after a waxing procedure
Since waxing involves pulling off your unwanted hair from the root, your skin will be very sensitive after the process. It is important to use the right ingredients to clean and sooth your skin after waxing so that it can get back to normal. The waxing specialist will recommend the right aftercare products that will speed up your recovery process.
Truth: After waxing, the hair will take up to 4 weeks before growing back.
After a waxing procedure, your hair will take between 3 to 4 weeks before growing back again. As you go for more waxing, the hair will become thinner and will take even longer before growing back. With time, the hair will get so thin and light that it will not be possible to notice there is any hair on your skin. During this stage, you will feel little or no pain during the waxing procedure.
Truth: you need to cut your hair up to a particular length before a waxing procedure
Before going for your waxing appointment, you need to cut your hair to ¼ inch. This will make it easier for the strip to hold on to the hair and make pulling off easier as well. If you leave your hair longer, you’ll feel more pain when the aesthetician is pulling out the hair. There are people who will request the aesthetician to shave the hair on their behalf at an extra fee during their waxing appointment.
Truth: Double dipping during a waxing procedure is bad
It is important to note that waxing hair removal will have a direct impact on your skin. Due to this, you need to ensure that the spa you’ll go to for your waxing observes highest hygiene standards. When applying wax on your skin, the waxing professional uses an applicator which should not be dipped twice in the wax.
Dipping back an applicator into the wax pot after using it to apply wax is not only unhygienic but unprofessional. For instance, the wax professional uses an applicator to apply wax on the armpits where there is a lot of sweating. If she dips the applicator back into the wax pot, she will transfer the sweat from the armpits into the wax.
Picture this, the next client comes and asks for a lip waxing procedure and the wax professional take the wax and uses it on the client. This will transfer the sweat from the previous client to the new client and this could lead to infections.
It is important to carry out a background search before going to any spa for waxing. You will be able to find out if the spa practices the recommended hygiene standards. If it doesn’t, the best decision will be looking for another spa.
You deserve professional treatment as you are paying to have your hair waxed. There are people who believe that heating wax will kill the bacteria that may have resulted from double dipping. This is not true as the heat will make the wax a more conducive breeding ground for bacteria.
The best person to ask for information regarding waxing is a waxing professional. He has vast experience in the field and knows the best solution for every waxing dilemma.

Waxing Services
Waxing hair removal method is associated with pain especially if you are doing it for the first time. However, there are some tricks that a waxing professional will use to make the process more comfortable for you.
Here are some of these tips:
The Waxing Specialist Will Start Small
If you go to the spa for a leg waxing procedure, the waxing professional will not apply wax on your entire leg at once. He will start with a small portion and when he successfully removes the hair on that part, he’ll move to the next one. With this, the wax will not dry up on the feet which can make the process really painful.
The Wax will Be Allowed to cool Off Before it is Applied on your body
Getting a burn from hot wax is really painful and a waxing professional will not let this happen. After heating the wax, he will allow it to cool off before applying it on your body. With this, the process will be more comfortable even in sensitive parts like the bikini area.
The Wax Specialist Will Apply a Numbing Cream on the Skin that Will Get Waxed
To make the waxing process less painful, the waxing specialist will apply a numbing cream on your skin. This will make the process more comfortable and will also allow the wax specialist to complete the process faster.
You Can Also Take a Pain Reliever
Taking a pain-relieving drug such as Advil, Ibuprofen or Aspirin 30 minutes before the waxing the procedure will make the process less painful. After the process is complete, you’ll also take another pain medication to make the recovery process more comfortable.
He Will Ask You to Get a distraction
While the wax professional is working on getting rid of unwanted hair, you can chat on your social media pages. You can also listen to your favorite music or read a book to get your mind off the pain. With this, you’ll not concentrate too much on the pain and this will make things easier for you and for the professional as well.
Exfoliate Your Skin Before the Waxing Appointment
When you exfoliate a day before the waxing procedure, you’ll get rid of the skin that can easily trap hair when waxing. With this, the waxing process will be really fast and you’ll minimize the chances of getting ingrown hair.
Cut Your Hair to the right Length
Trim your hair and ensure its ¼ an inch before coming for your waxing appointment. This will make it possible for the strip to hold firmly on the hair and remove it. if your hair is too short, the waxing process will not be successful as the strop will have nothing to hold on to. This will also lead to the pulling of the skin and this will make the process really painful.
If your hair is too long, the wax will only pull your hair but it will not remove it from the roots. if the wax professional does not mind about the hair length, ask.
Wear loosely Fitting Clothes
Waxing will make your skin really sensitive and wearing tight clothes after the treatment will make you uncomfortable. You should go to the waxing spa wearing loose clothing so that your skin will have some breathing space after the treatment.
The wax professional will apply a cold compress on your skin after the treatment to ease any discomfort you may be feeling on your skin.
After Your first Waxing Treatment, Do Not Shave
Unlike shaving where the hair grows back thicker, waxing makes hair thinner every time. If you shave in between your waxing appointments, you’ll make the hair grow more intensely like before. With this, you’ll ruin the gains you had achieved.
With time, your hair will become too thin such that it won’t be easy to notice that it is even there. You will stay for longer without the need to wax as there will be no unwanted hair.
If Anything Gets Too Uncomfortable, Speak Up
You have a right to air your opinion if anything gets too uncomfortable during the waxing. For instance, if the wax is too hot, inform the waxing professional so that he can wait for the wax to cool off. Do not wait until you get burnt to raise a concern.
Be Realistic With Your Expectations
Everyone has a different kind of hair and this means the waxing results will be different for everyone. If yours does not turn out as good as that of your friend, do not give up. The more willing you are to go for all your appointments, the higher your chances of achieving your goals.
Reduce the Acidity Level in your Body
Smoking cigarettes, taking alcohol, and caffeine increases the level of acidity in the body. If this happens, you’ll feel more paid during the waxing process compared to a person who did not use these products. If possible, avoid using these products until after your waxing hair removal treatment.
Relax
Do not let the scary stories you’ve heard about waxing make you lose your calm during the waxing process. Your experience is unique since your skin is also different. If you’ll be able to remain calm, it will make the process easier for you and the waxing professional.
Do Not Wax the Wrong Places
There are parts of the body that should not get waxed such as the eyelashes and the nipples. If a waxing professional advice against waxing any part of your body, do not insist. He knows what is best for you especially if he’s been waxing for a long time.
The greatest consideration when going for a waxing procedure is to get the right professional to do the job.  A person who’ll use the right tools and one that will observe high standards of hygiene when waxing is the best. To know if a spa is will offer exceptional services; pay the spa a visit before your waxing appointment. The spa’s condition at that time will help you to make the right choice of a waxing spa.

Waxing Hair Removal
​Waxing is among the most popular hair removal methods used by both men and women. The process is easy and fast especially if you get a professional to carry out the process. your hair will take longer before growing back which makes more people opt for this hair removal method.
Though waxing is proven as a safe hair removal method, there are people who should use other hair removal methods.
When to Avoid Waxing
  • If you suffer from diabetes: though there are people who will still choose to get on with waxing, it is advisable to seek a doctor’s opinion.
Your skin is very sensitive as a result of diabetes and could easily get an infection or even an injury.  The worst bit is that the wound will take longer to heal or the injury may get worse instead of healing.

Sunburns will also make the waxing hair removal process very painful.
Does Waxing Have an Age Limit?
There is no age limit when it comes to waxing hair removal. However, professional waxing spas will have reservations when it comes to children under the age of 18. They recommend that the minor should be in the company of his guardian.
Some types of waxing such as Brazilian waxing will not be carried out on a minor. The spas enforce this policy to protect their practice against the backlash of guardians.
Here are some of the reasons why a parent may decide to have a child go through a waxing hair removal process:
  • If the child seems insecure about having hair all over his body while her peers do not have them.
  • When a child is being bullied in school or other social places due to unwanted hair.
Some children will want to emulate their parents if they also undergo waxing. The parents of such children will have to give in to prove to the child if they put too much pressure on them.
Some people may ask, ‘am I too old to wax?’
The truth is, no one is too old to wax. As long as you are not suffering from any complication that would lead to serious side effects, go for it! You deserve to look and feel good at any age.
Can You Wax All Body Parts?
The only hair that you cannot remove using the waxing process is the eyebrows and the eyelids. Every other part, including the toes, can be waxed.
In most cases, however, waxing hair removal goes hand in hand with tweezing to help in getting rid of the hairs you couldn’t get rid of by waxing.
For women, the most common part they’ll wax are the legs, armpits, arms, bikini area, and the eyebrows. Men will mostly wax their chest, pubic area, back, shoulders, legs, upper arms, and the uni-brow.
Precautions When Waxing Sensitive Parts of the Body
For most people, the most sensitive part to waxing is the pubic area. There are others who will find their armpits, legs, and eyebrows very painful to wax.
  • Test the wax first: when you get to the waxing spa, do not hesitate to inform the aesthetician that your skin is sensitive.
With this knowledge, he’ll test the wax first to gauge the reaction before getting on with the actual removal. The decision to either go on with the waxing or look for an alternative hair removal method will depend on the test results.
  • Take a pain reliever or apply a numbing cream before waxing: this will help to make the process less painful. With this, the aesthetician will be able to complete the hair removal process faster.
  • Sanitize your skin: the chances of developing an infection as a result of waxing are higher if your skin is sensitive.
To minimize the chances of getting an infection, sanitize your skin before and after the waxing process.
  • Stay hydrated and moisturize your skin: this is not just for anyone who has a sensitive skin but for everyone. You don’t want to suffer from irritation on dry skin as it will make the experience worse.
After the waxing process, the aesthetician will advise you about the best moisturizer to use on your skin.
How Painful is Waxing?
A person who tells you that waxing is the most comfortable hair removal method is lying to you. However, the degree of pain you’ll feel depends on a number of factors such as:
  • The sensitivity of your skin
  • The part of the body getting waxed
  • The number of times you have been waxing. If you are already used to waxing, you’ll feel less pain compared to a person who is waxing for the first time.
  • Your tolerance to pain
  • The nature of your hair: if your hair is coarse or you shaved recently, the process will be more painful.
The best part about waxing is that the more you will continue waxing, the more comfortable the process will get. You should also avoid waxing when on your periods as the waxing process is more painful at this time.
It is also important to seek the services of a professional when waxing as this is the only guarantee of a successful hair removal. Look for a spa that offers waxing hair removal as the main menu and not an addition. With this, you’ll have a guarantee that the spa has all the tools that will facilitate a successful waxing.

Waxing hair removal is one of the safest and most efficient methods to get rid of unwanted hair. You will be able to stay for a longer period without worrying about any hair growth.
The problem comes in deciding the best time to have the waxing hair removal. This guide will answer all your questions regarding your waxing appointment before your big day.
Are you getting a waxing treatment for the first time?
If this is the first time you are having a waxing hair removal treatment, you will feel a little more pain. This is because you have more hair and it will take more effort to get rid of the hair. It is important to book an appointment with a professional.
When you go for your appointment, inform the esthetician that this is your first time. He will know how to handle you so that you’ll be as comfortable as possible.
What about the preparation?
For best results during a waxing hair removal treatment, ensure that your hair is 1/8 to ¼ inch. This will allow the wax to have a better grip so that it will be removed from the roots.
You should also exfoliate on your appointment day. This will help to loosen the dead skin and bring the hair trapped beneath the skin to the surface.
To reduce the amount of pain you will feel when the process is ongoing, you can take some pain relieving tablets. You can apply a numbing cream on the part that will get waxed. With this, you will be able to endure the process to the end.
When is the best time?
If this is your first time, you should book your appointment one week before the big day. This will give you time to recover from any side effects like reddening of the skin before the big day.
If you have gone through a waxing hair removal before, you can schedule your appointment 3 days to your big day. This way, you’ll have recovered from any side effect.
Choosing the best treatment
The waxing treatments you will choose depends on the big occasion you will be attending:
Wedding
If you are planning for your wedding, here are some of the waxing hair removal treatment you can have:
  • Brazilian waxing: this will get rid of the unwanted pubic hair. You should ensure that the esthetician has enough experience in Brazilian waxing before you confirm your appointment.
  • Leg waxing: this will ensure that your legs are free from any hair
  • Underarm waxing
  • Lip waxing
Night out or a fancy event
  • Eyebrow waxing
  • Lip waxing
  • Underarm waxing
Whatever your event is, there is a waxing treatment that will work best for you. The esthetician will help you in choosing the right event for your occasion.
Are there instances when waxing hair removal is not an option?
Unfortunately, not everyone can undergo a waxing hair removal process. Here are some of the conditions that would make your esthetician postpone your waxing treatment to a later date:
  • If you are pregnant: there are people that may still choose to have a waxing hair removal treatment when pregnant. As a result of the pregnancy, your body is more sensitive and the pain may be too intense during the treatment.
  • If you are intoxicated with alcohol: when you are high on alcohol, your skin will be very sensitive and this will lead to intense pain. As a result, you will suffer from more side effects compared to a person who is sober.
  • If you have sunburns: if you have recently been exposed to sunlight and are suffering from sunburns, you cannot get on with a waxing process. You’ll have to wait until the sunburns are healed to have your treatment.
  • If you are using medications such as Accutane or it is less than 1 year since you stopped taking the drug.
  • If you suffer from a severe skin condition, a recent scar, cold sores or warts, the aesthetician should reschedule your appointment to a later date.
Now that you are free from unwanted hair, here are great aftercare tips
24 hours after your treatment
  • Avoid touching or scratching the parts that have been waxed.
  • Do not exfoliate the waxed part of your skin
  • Avoid direct exposure to the sun: your skin
  • Wear loose-fitting clothes to fasten your recovery process.
  • Do not engage in rigorous exercises or even go to the gym
Instead of applying harsh beauty products, you should follow the instructions given by the esthetician. Soothing products such as aloe vera will really help to sooth the skin and get rid of any irritation.
Waxing hair removal will bring better results as you proceed. You will be able to stay for longer before getting a repeat treatment and even when the hair grows back; it will not be as dense as before.
It is important to avoid shaving between your waxing appointments. Instead, honor all your appointments so that together with your esthetician, you can get rid of all unwanted hair. The appointment will be between 4 to 6 weeks depending on your hair’s growth cycle.
As you enjoy your big day, you’ll not worry about your appearance as you already know everything is in place. If it is your wedding day, you will not shy away when having fun on your honeymoon even when wearing a bikini.
Book your appointment today and like many others who have had waxing hair removal, you will enjoy a hair free body for longer. If you are not sure about the right waxing spa for you, ask the people who have gone through the process in the past for recommendations. You can also check out the online reviews of the various waxing spas to help you make a choice.
