frequently asked questions
What should I do to prepare for my wax appointment?
To ensure the best results, follow these simple steps before your waxing session:
Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate the area 24-48 hours before your wax to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.
Hair Length: Make sure the hair is at least ¼ inch long (about the length of a grain of rice) for optimal results. If your hair is too short, the wax may not adhere properly.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Try not to sunbathe or use tanning beds for at least 24 hours before your waxing session to avoid sensitive skin.
Avoid Lotions and Oils: Refrain from using heavy lotions, oils, or deodorant on the day of your appointment as it can create a barrier between the wax and your skin.
Wear Loose Clothing: Opt for loose-fitting clothes to avoid irritating freshly waxed skin after your appointment.
Is waxing painful?
Pain tolerance varies from person to person, however, at Strip, we are known for our ‘pain free wax’ which is all down to the way we wax and train our therapists. We use high-quality wax and techniques designed to minimize pain and maximize comfort.
How long will the results last?
The results typically last between 3-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle. As you continue waxing, you may notice that the hair grows back finer and sparser, meaning you don’t need to come as often.
Can I wax if I’m pregnant?
Yes, waxing is generally safe during pregnancy. At Strip, we specialise in pregnancy waxing. Our maternity wax is designed to be as bespoke and pain-free as possible without compromising on effectiveness, leaving you soft, smooth and relaxed. Most importantly, our therapists understand that a body in the 2-3 Trimester moves and behaves differently during pregnancy and needs to be treated accordingly. You can find out more about our pregnancy waxing here.
Can I wax if I have sensitive skin?
If you have sensitive skin, it’s important to discuss your skin type with your therapist before your appointment. We offer gentle wax options that are formulated for sensitive skin, and we’ll take extra care to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.
What should I do for aftercare?
To ensure your skin stays smooth and healthy after your waxing appointment, follow these aftercare tips:
Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of the sun for at least 24 hours after waxing to avoid irritation and sunburn.
Skip Hot Showers & Saunas: For the first 24 hours, avoid hot showers, saunas, or anything that may cause excessive heat to the waxed area.
No Tight Clothing: Avoid wearing tight clothing, especially in the waxed area, for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation.
Exfoliate Regularly: After 48 hours, begin gently exfoliating the area 2-3 times a week to prevent ingrown hairs.
Moisturize: Keep the waxed area hydrated by applying a soothing lotion or aloe vera gel to reduce any redness or irritation.
Avoid Swimming in Chlorinated Pools or Hot Tubs: It’s best to avoid swimming for 24-48 hours after waxing to prevent irritation.
Avoid exercise: for the first 24 hours avoid any intense exercise
Can I wax if I’m on medication or have a skin condition?
Certain medications, such as those that thin the skin (e.g., Retin-A, Accutane), or conditions like eczema, may make your skin more sensitive and prone to irritation. Please inform your therapist/ the salon about any medications or skin conditions before your appointment, and always check with your doctor if you’re unsure about waxing while on medication.
How often should I wax?
To maintain smooth skin and get the best results, we recommend waxing every 4- 5 weeks. This allows your hair to grow to the ideal length for waxing and ensures consistent smoothness.
