What Are the Do's & Dont's of Post Wax Care?
As an esthetician, we know that waxing alone isn’t the entire job — post-wax care is JUST as important as waxing itself. There are key steps to take after a waxing service to meet your client’s needs. Today we’ll discuss the steps you can take to exceed client expectations and keep their skin healthy, happy, and hairless! Why is post-wax care important? Two words: prevention & maintenance. When you wax a body part, yes, the hair will grow back thinner and less frequently, but will you cause the client an ingrown hair? If so, how many? Will your client show scraggly growth because they didn’t maintain their wax job? Will they shave in between appointments? The answer to each of these questions is: YOU JUST DON’T KNOW! Discussing aftercare with your clients will have you both on the same page, and that is why post-wax care is important. The DO’S Advise clients to use an exfoliating glove, scrub, or another tool to exfoliate 24-hours (minimum) before and after each waxing service to help prevent those pesky ingrown hairs! The DONT’S And that’s post-waxing care 101!
