Pre-Wax Care

To ensure the best results from your waxing session at The Bare Man, follow these simple pre-care tips:

1. Let It Grow (But Not Too Much)

• Hair should be at least ¼ inch long (about the length of a grain of rice) for effective waxing.

• Avoid shaving or trimming the area for at least two weeks before your appointment.

2. Exfoliate Gently

• Lightly exfoliate the area 24-48 hours before your appointment. This helps remove dead skin cells and allows the wax to grip the hair more effectively.

• Avoid using harsh scrubs; a gentle exfoliator or our mesh cloth exfoliator works best.

3. Stay Hydrated

• Drink plenty of water and keep your skin moisturized leading up to your appointment, but skip the lotion on the day of your waxing.

4. Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol

• Refrain from consuming caffeine or alcohol on the day of your appointment. These can make your skin more sensitive to waxing.

5. Plan Your Timing

• Avoid scheduling your waxing during your menstrual cycle if you’re particularly sensitive.

• Allow at least 24 hours after waxing before hitting the gym, pool, or sauna.

6. Relax and Be Ready

• Wear loose-fitting clothing to your appointment to avoid irritation after waxing.

• Communicate any allergies or skin sensitivities with your esthetician.

By following these tips, you’ll have smoother skin, a more comfortable waxing experience, and longer-lasting results!
