Waxing
@ Imogen Maria Beauty Studio
Waxing is a method of semi-permanent hair removal that removes the hair from the root. New hair will not grow back for 2-6 weeks. Almost any area of the body can be waxed.
At Imogen Maria Beauty Studio we offer two types of waxing; warm wax and hot wax.
​
Warm wax is a cream wax, which is spread thinly over the skin. A paper strip is then pressed on the top and ripped off with a quick movement against the direction of hair growth.
​
Hot wax is applied slightly thick. When it cools and hardens it is flicked off and removes the hair with it.
​
Do you have sensitive skin or just want to wax your bikini line? If so, the hot wax method is the best for you.
Did you know? Repeated waxing over a long period of time makes the hair finer and softer.

WAXING ADVICE
PRE
POST
-
Skip the lotions and potions! Do not apply self tanners, body sprays, deodorants and other topical creams before your appointment.
-
Let it grow out! If you have been shaving, allow a minimum of 2-3 weeks or ¼ inch of hair growth.
-
Schedule your wax 2-3 days before beach and poolside jaunts if you plan to sun bathe.
-
Avoid heat. No tanning beds, hot tubs and saunas before your appointment.
-
Exfoliate! Exfoliating the area gently 24 hours before your appointment will remove the dead skin cells and allow for a cleaner wax.
-
Be comfy. Wear loose comfortable clothing to prevent irritation after waxing.
-
Everyone reacts differently to waxing. If this is your first time, it is important to take precaution.
-
Heightened sensitivity may be experienced in the area waxed for the next 24-48 hours.
-
Avoid heat. No tanning, sun bathing, hot tubs or saunas for 48 hours after your treatment. Since a layer of dead skin cells have been removed, sun and or heat exposure can burn the skin.
-
No hot baths or exercising for 2 hours following your treatment.
-
Apply a cold compress to sooth the skin if you experience sensitivity or irritation after your treatment. Hydro-cortisone cream also reduces the redness and irritation following your treatment.
-
Exfoliate daily 48 hours after your treatment.
-
If your skin is sensitive, body waxing may result in minor breakouts. Waxing causes the temporary enlargement of the hair follicles that can allow bacteria residing on the skin, to enter the enlarged follicles and cause skin infections. If an infection is noted, it should be evaluated and treated by a doctor as soon as possible. That is why it is important to take proper care of your skin following a wax treatment.
