When should I do the waxing?

At any time when the hair in the area to be waxed is at least 1.5 mm long, but for the very best results you get around 5 mm. The first time, you should be prepared that maybe not exactly all the straws come with you. This is because hair grows in different phases and some of them are too short to pull out.

​

Women may also note that pain sensitivity is at its lowest a week before and a week after menstruation. It's not dangerous, but it can hurt a lot to wax during your period.​ If you still want to do it, please use a tampon or menstrual cup.

​

Before the treatment

It is to a great advantage to do a peeling on the area the day before, but absolutely not a must. On the same day, an hour or so before, you shower and clean the area to be waxed(intimate) soapand water. Do not use creams afterwards.

​

If you want to reduce the pain, about an hour before the treatment you take two pain tablets with different active substances (e.g.  paracetamol and ibuprofen). Do not take preparations with acetylsalicylic acid, nor preparations with caffeine.

​

If you want to use anesthesia when waxing the intimate area or armpits, you can buy a strong lidocaine anesthetic spray at the salon for an additional cost of SEK 99.

​

If you are very sensitive to pain, you can also do a preparatory extra anesthetic at home. Then you really feel nothing. Then you buy at the pharmacy a cream that contains both lidocaine and prilocaine, for example Tapin or Emla. These cost SEK 50-80. Apply the entire tube on the area to be waxed about an hour before the treatment. Then line a pair of tight panties/underpants (these should cover the entire area to be waxed, i.e. no thong) with plastic wrap and put these on. Leave them on until you come to me. You will feel warmth in the area, this is normal. Pack a pair of underpants, which are cotton and as loose as possible.

​

Do not drink coffee, energy drinks, alcohol or milk for at least four hours before the treatment. These increase the risk of small bleeding or reduce the effect of the anaesthetic.

​

During treatment

When waxing for the first time, it's completely normal to be a little nervous. But if you choose to do the waxing under anesthesia, it will not hurt. We start by talking about how you want it. It is important that you are straight  in your communication with me and tell me exactly how you want it. There are no questions that are stupid or too intimate. When we are clear about how you want it, you lie down on a treatment table.

​

Now it is important that you try to relax. It may be easier said than done, but if you tense your muscles or jerk strongly, the hairs can break off instead of being pulled out by the root. This is not dangerous, but gives a significantly worse and less durable result. You are in safe hands and I am responsive if you need to take a short break or drink a small glass of water. 

​​

Intimate waxing usually takes between 15 and 45 minutes depending on various factors. The first time and especially male waxing takes a little longer as all bodies have to be treated a little differently, already the second time it goes faster as I learned how your body works.

​

When we are done, I ask you to feel with your fingers and look with the help of the mirror if you see or feel any strands that I have missed. The very first waxing may not include the shortest strands, but 98% of the hair should be gone even the first time. Afterwards, you will receive a soothing oil as a finishing treatment. The finishing treatment should preferably sit for 4-8 hours before it is washed off.

​

After the treatment

For the next few days, wear loose cotton underwear and avoid getting dirt on the area. Avoid any type of friction. Wear loose trousers (or a skirt) immediately after the treatment. The first night you sleep naked between clean sheets.

​

Now your skin needs to rest after the stress caused by waxing. Your hair follicles are completely open for a few days and are susceptible to dirt and inflammation. If you seem to get red dots afterwards, these can be treated with our own product Ingrowth Inhibitor which prevents ingrown hairs and kills bacteria. The hair follicles gradually close within 1-3 days. You should  not shower, sunbathe or bathe, exercise or have sex for the first eight hours after waxing. Sunbathing and bathing in chlorinated water must be avoided for at least 24 hours.

​

When you first shower, wash with water only and pat the waxed area dry. If the area is very red or sensitive, you can use Ingrowth Inhibitor in the area, but normally it should feel good. Does it feel dry? lubricate the area with ultra-hydrative moisturizer Soft Kitty.

​

​The very next day you notice how smooth your skin is now. The advantage of waxing is that the hairs are refined with each waxing and the hard, itchy ugly stubble becomes a memory blue. The more times you wax, the sparser, thinner, lighter and slower the regrowth becomes, which can fade almost completely. You must not shave between waxings!

​

Depending on how quickly your hair grows back, it is time for a new treatment after 4-6 weeks. In the beginning, especially after the first time, the second treatment may be relevant already after a month. This becomes less frequent the more times you wax.

​

If irritation occurs

Should an allergic reaction occur, you should contact your doctor. However, this is extremely rare. Normally, most people return to normal the very next day.

​​

No razors in the area

When the hair grows back, it is thinner and non-dull. For the next waxing, the straws should be about 3 mm. long. In the meantime, you should definitely not shave the area. Shaving stimulates hair growth and renders the long-term effects of waxing ineffective.
