Pre-Wax Do’s and Don’ts: How to Get the Best Results

🔍 Want the Smoothest Wax Ever? Prep Is Everything

At Solara Sol Beauty in Crawfordville, my goal is to make every wax quick, clean, and as pain-free as possible.But it’s not just what I do during your appointment—it’s also about what you do before.Here’s your no-fluff guide to pre-wax do’s and don’ts that make all the difference 💁‍♀️✨

✅ DO These Before Your Wax:

✔️ Let Your Hair Grow (¼ inch minimum!)

That’s about the size of a grain of rice. Too short? The wax can’t grip.Avoid shaving for 2–3 weeks before your appointment.

✔️ Exfoliate 24–48 Hours Before

A gentle scrub removes dead skin and helps prevent ingrown hairs.Don’t exfoliate the day of—your skin needs a buffer.

✔️ Wear Loose, Comfy Clothing

After your wax, your skin will thank you for skipping the skinny jeans or tight leggings.

✔️ Take Ibuprofen (Optional)

If you're worried about sensitivity, taking ibuprofen 30 minutes before your appointment can help reduce discomfort.

✔️ Stay Hydrated

Dehydrated skin is more sensitive. Drink plenty of water the day before and of your wax.

🚫 DON’T Do These:

✖️ No Caffeine or Alcohol Before Your Wax

Both can heighten sensitivity and increase redness or swelling. Opt for water instead.

✖️ Don’t Apply Lotions, Oils, or Self-Tanner

These create a barrier that interferes with the wax. Come clean and product-free.

✖️ Skip Intense Workouts Right Before

Excess heat + sweat before waxing = irritated skin. Chill and wax later.

✖️ Don’t Wax Right Before Your Period

You’re more sensitive during this time. If possible, aim for the middle of your cycle for less discomfort.

🌟 Prep = Better Results, Less Discomfort

When you follow these simple steps, your wax will be smoother, less painful, and your results will last longer. Plus, your skin will be happier—and that’s always the goal at Solara Sol Beauty 💛
