8 Tips for Clients Pre & Post Waxing

Waxing can be a nerve-racking experience for clients, particularly if it is their first time. With this in mind, the Perron Rigot team has put together some of their top tips to share with clients before waxing. 

Tip #1: Avoid lotions and potions

Avoid using body sprays, deodorants, self-tan or any topical creams that may not be designed especially for pre-waxing.

Tip #2: Allow hair growth

Allow a minimum of two to three weeks or hair growth the size of a grain of rice if you have been shaving before your treatment.

Tip #3: Keep cool and carry on!

Avoid sunbeds, hot tubs, Jacuzzis or the sauna before your appointment.

Tip #4: Exfoliation station

24 hours before the appointment, exfoliate the area gently to remove dead skin cells and allow a cleaner wax.

Tip #5: Comfy clothing

Wear comfortable clothing to prevent irritation after waxing so your clothes do not rub against your affected area.

Recommended pre-wax product: Perron Rigot Double Scrub 

Perron Rigot Double Scrub features active ingredients including a complex of essential oils of Lemon and Lavender plus 79% natural origin ingredients. 87% of volunteers observed the disappearance of ingrown hairs using this product!

Designed to eliminate dead cells, refine skin texture and purify the pores. 

Sensitive skin can be experienced for 24 – 48 hours after waxing, using a cool compress can soothe the skin if irritated.

Tip #7: Avoid the burn

For 48 hours after treatment, it is recommended to avoid tanning, sunbathing, hot baths and tubs or saunas. This is due to a dead layer of skin cells being removed during waxing and exposing to heat and sun can cause the skin to burn.

Tip #8: Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!

48 hours after treatment, it is highly recommended to exfoliate daily to avoid ingrown hairs.
