what you need to know before your appointment:
Treatment time: 30-45 minutes
Please do not use any harsh chemicals on your skin up to 72 hours before your appointment

Post-service instructions:
Waxing:
Avoid touching waxed area for 12-24 hours. The bacteria on your hands can cause breakouts in the open follicles.
No hot tubs or pools for 48 hours, as the chlorinated water can burn waxed areas. This also helps prevent a bacterial infection of the open hair follicles.
Avoid any UV exposure for the next 12-24 hours, as the area may burn, and it can cause hyperpigmentation.
Brow Color Enhancement:
For the remainder of the day, do not apply mascara or any other make up to your brows.
Do not swim in chlorinated pools or hot tubs to reduce the possibility of a chemical reaction, and to prevent the color from coming out.
Do not brush your brows for the remainder of the day.
Additional Tips for Optimum Results:
Avoid lakes to avoid infection of open hair follicles.
Avoid really hot baths, fragrant lotions, and skincare products with strong ingredients as the skin will be sensitive.
Wash makeup brushes 1x per week to prevent spreading bacteria on your face, which can cause a breakout over the waxed areas.
