Before Your Appointment

To ensure the best results from our services, proper preparation is key. Prepping your skin helps reduce sensitivity, minimize the risk of irritation or complications, and allows treatments to perform more precisely and efficiently. By following simple pre-care guidelines, you’re not only protecting your skin but also maximizing the value of your service, helping you achieve the best possible outcome from your appointment.

Pre-Wax Appointment Tips:

Let hair grow to about ¼ inch (roughly the length of a grain of rice) for effective removal.

Gently exfoliate the area 24–48 hours before your appointment to help prevent ingrown hairs.

Keep skin clean and free of lotions, oils, or deodorant on the day of your service to prevent the wax from not being able to adhere to the skin.

Avoid shaving between waxing appointments, as it can disrupt the hair growth cycle.

Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning 24–48 hours prior to reduce skin sensitivity.

Avoid skincare actives, (retinol, chemical exfoliants, Vitamin C, etc.), on the treatment area for at least 3–5 days before your appointment.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing to prevent irritation after your wax.

Stay hydrated and avoid caffeine right before your appointment to help minimize sensitivity.

Inform your esthetician of any medications or skin conditions that may affect your service.

Pre-Laser Appointment Tips

Shave the area 24 hours before your appointment, to ensure optimal laser targeting of the hair follicle.

Keep skin clean and free of lotions, oils, deodorant, or makeup on the day of your service.

Skip waxing, tweezing, or threading for at least 2–4 weeks before your appointment, as the hair root must be intact.

Avoid skincare actives, (retinol, chemical exfoliants, Vitamin C, etc.), on the treatment area for at least 3–5 before your your appointment.

Stay hydrated to support healthy skin and better treatment response.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing to avoid irritation after your session.

Inform your esthetician of any medications, especially antibiotics or photosensitizing drugs.

Avoid caffeine before your appointment to help reduce sensitivity.

Pre-Skin Service Tips:

Facials, Chemical Peels, Skin Rejuvenation Treatments, Microneedling, Microblading, and Eyebrow Tinting

Avoid skincare actives, (retinol, chemical exfoliants, Vitamin C, etc.), on the treatment area for at least 3–5 before your your appointment.
Limit excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, and sunburns for at least 5–7 days before your appointment. Healthy, non-irritated skin responds best to treatment.
Avoid injectables before treatment; If you’ve recently had Botox or fillers, wait at least 1–2 weeks before scheduling most skin treatments (unless advised otherwise by your provider).
Keep skin clean & Product-Free; Arrive with clean skin whenever possible. Avoid heavy makeup, lotions, or oils on the treatment area the day of your appointment.
Pause hair removal treatments; Avoid waxing, threading, or depilatory creams on the treatment area for at least 5–7 days before your service to prevent irritation.
Stay hydrated. Well-hydrated skin responds better and heals more efficiently.
Avoid other advanced treatments like laser, microneedling, or chemical peels on the same area for at least 1–2 weeks prior unless directed.

Pre-Spray Tan Tips:

Gently exfoliate your entire body the day before your appointment to remove dead skin cells. Focus on dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles for the most even result.
Avoid lotions, oils & perfume on the day of your appointment, as these can create a barrier and affect how the tan develops.
Shave or wax in advance; Complete all hair removal at least 24 hours prior to your appointment to avoid skin irritation and ensure a smooth surface for application.
Wear loose, dark clothing after your appointment to prevent rubbing or staining while your tan develops.
Avoid showering immediately before your appointment. Your skin’s natural pH helps the tanning solution develop more evenly.
Remove makeup and jewelry prior to your session.
Avoid water, sweating, or tight clothing for at least 6–8 hours after your spray tan (or as directed), so plan your schedule accordingly.
