What is Waxing?
Waxing removes unwanted hair from any part of the body. Waxing is great for eyebrows but is not recommended for other areas of the face, as waxing can cause the skin to darken over time. Waxing can be done for underarms, bikini, legs, and back. However, as a permanent solution for unwanted hair, laser hair removal is a preferred option.
What is Tinting?
Tinting refers to the application of semi-permanent dye to eyelashes or eyebrows. This process enhances color and definition for a more polished look without daily makeup application. People with naturally lighter colored or sparse eyebrows and eyelashes choose to have their brows and lashes tinted a darker color for a more defined appearance.
Benefits of Waxing & Tinting
Choosing waxing over shaving offers several advantages:
- Longer Lasting Results: Hair is removed from the root during waxing; therefore, regrowth takes longer than shaving.
- Smoother Skin: Waxed skin typically feels smoother than shaved skin because it removes dead skin cells and hair.
- Reduced Hair Growth Over Time: Regular waxing may lead to finer and sparser hair regrowth.
For tinting:
- Enhanced Definition: Brow shaping combined with tint adds depth and dimension without requiring daily makeup.
- Time-Saving: With tinted brows or lashes, you can reduce time spent on your morning routine.
Ideal Candidates
While most individuals are suitable candidates for waxing and tinting, certain factors determine eligibility. Ideal candidates should have healthy skin or be free from irritation or infection in the treatment areas. However, those with active rashes, eczema, psoriasis, or open wounds should avoid waxing until healed.
Recent sunburn also makes the skin too sensitive for treatment. Individuals using retinoids or strong topical medications and those undergoing chemotherapy/radiation therapy should consult with us or their physician before proceeding, as these can increase skin sensitivity.
How to Prepare for Your Waxing & Tinting Appointment
Preparation is key for optimal results:
- Exfoliate 24 hours prior using a mild scrub; this helps remove dead skin cells.
- Limit sun exposure before your appointment, as sunburned skin can be sensitive during treatment.
- For effective waxing results, ensure that hair growth is at least a fourth of an inch long (about two weeks after shaving).
- Inform our staff about any allergies or sensitivities before treatment.
What to Expect During Your Waxing & Tinting Appointment
The area to be treated will be cleansed for waxing, and then warm wax will be applied toward hair growth. A cloth strip is then pressed onto the wax and quickly removed in the opposite direction of hair growth, taking the hair with it. This process is repeated until all desired hair is removed.
For tinting, a patch test may be performed 24 hours before to make sure there is no allergic reaction. During tinting, a protective barrier is applied around the eyes or brows. Then, the tint is carefully applied and left to develop for a specific time before being removed. The entire procedure is designed to be as comfortable as possible, and our experienced professionals will guide you through each step.
Waxing Aftercare Tips
Post-treatment care helps maintain smoothness:
- Avoid hot baths or showers immediately after treatment; opt for lukewarm water.
- Refrain from applying heavy lotions or creams on treated areas until fully healed (usually within 24 hours).
- Exfoliate gently after three days post-wax session; this prevents ingrown hairs while keeping skin smooth.
