Professional waxing is a service that many people are unfamiliar with and maybe scared to try. However, it is actually one of the most enjoyable beauty treatments you can get! But how do you prepare for your first professional wax? Read on to learn more about what to expect during your appointment and how to best prep beforehand. 

Ask For An Allergy Patch Test Prior to Your Appointment

Waxing your skin can be a very rewarding experience. Make sure you are taking the right precautions before waxing, though! You should have an allergy patch test done beforehand to make sure that there is no risk of reactions from chemicals used in the process. If this is your first time having any type of cosmetic procedure or treatment, it’s essential to know how sensitive and reactive your skin might be so not only do you get an idea for what will work best on you but also if anything could potentially cause irritation during your visit.

• No risk of reactions from chemicals used in the process
• Take precautions to increase safety during treatments
• Have peace of mind knowing that you are getting the best treatment for your skin

Take A Bath Before Going To Your Waxing Appointment

Take a warm bath the day before your appointment to moisturize and soften up the skin. Waxing on dry, hardened hair is difficult because it’s more resistant to removal. If you don’t have time for full water immersion, soak just that area of skin in water for five or ten minutes beforehand.

Make Sure That Your Skin Is Healthy

Check your skin before waxing to make sure it’s healthy. Healthy skin is necessary for a successful hair removal session. If you have even the slightest irritation or wound on any area of your body that needs to be waxed then wait and prepare yourself because this would be too sensitive to handle at the moment. Ordinary beauty marks and moles are not an issue as long as they’re protected from running into hot wax while being removed by your esthetician; just let them know so they can help maintain these regions in order for the process to go smoothly without complication!

• Avoid irritated or wounded areas on any sensitive area of the body during hair removal
• Prepare your skin in advance to have a successful hair removal session 

Let Your Hair Grow To An Acceptable Length

Waxing is a great way to get rid of unwanted hair. However, for it to be most effective you’ll need long enough facial or body hair that’s at least 1/4-inch in length. This usually means waiting two to three weeks without shaving/other forms of removal before waxing will be possible (this time frame varies by person). 

If your hair isn’t the appropriate length, there are other more common ways to remove excess strands like epilating and threading which can also provide good results – though not as close as waxed hairs!
