The first treatment can often be painful, particularly if you have been shaving. This is because shaving has enlarged the bulb at the base of the hair shaft.
Remember that the hair grows, rests, then grows again, so it takes about twelve weeks for shaven hair to be replaced with natural hair, therefore it takes two or three waxes before you 'settle in' to natural hair growth. After this time you will experience only minimal discomfort from waxing.
Between four to six weeks is the usual time span between waxing appointments To obtain beneficial results from waxing you should establish the time span which suits your hair growth and wax regularly at these times, perhaps a little more frequently during summer.
Do not use self tanning lotions or moisturising creams, particularly on your legs, on the day of your appointment as these form an oily barrier which inhibits the grip of the wax.

Coarse and/or curly hair can create skin problems after waxing because the bacteria on the skin may enter these wider hair follicle entrances and cause a rash of white-heads.
This reaction applies particularly to chest and back areas. For the first three or four days after waxing please shower immediately after vigorous exercise using a tea-tree wash which has anti-bacterial properties.
The use of a buff brush will help to clear the follicles of perspiration and dead skin cells.
