Summer may be winding down, but waxing isn’t just a summer thing

Now is seriously the time to get started if you’ve been thinking about trying waxing! Staying consistent is what really helps you see results over time. With regular waxing, you can start to notice slower and finer regrowth, smoother skin, and fewer ingrowns.

Start now and you’ll already have a good routine going when summer comes back around!🤍

Hellooo! It’s been a while since I’ve popped up on here, but I’m still here!

I’m almost at 6 months of being in the salon, and I just want to say thank you to everyone who has trusted me and kept me so busy. I appreciate every single one of you more than you know!

I have a few openings this Thursday if anyone needs a little self-care.💕✨

3 weeks after a wax… and this is her regrowth. This is her 3rd wax!

Just a reminder, this isn’t everyone’s result. Hair growth is different for everyone and depends on things like your hair cycle, consistency, hormones, and genetics.

With regular waxing, most people notice softer, finer regrowth and less hair over time.

Consistency is what gets you there not just one appointment.

I always tell my clients to moisturize daily and exfoliate 2–3 times a week… but why do I say this so often? Because your aftercare matters just as much as your wax when it comes to getting smooth results.

If you’re not moisturizing, your hair becomes dry and brittle. When that happens, the hair is more likely to break instead of being pulled from the root during your wax. Hair breakage leads to faster regrowth, more of a stubbly feel, and a higher chance of ingrowns.

Exfoliation is just as important. Dead skin builds up over time and can trap the hair underneath the surface. If that dead skin is sitting on the skin, the hair has nowhere to grow out. That’s when you start seeing ingrowns, bumps, and uneven growth. Exfoliating 2–3 times a week keeps the skin clear so the hair can grow out properly.

For moisturizers, I recommend CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion. For exfoliation, you can use an exfoliating glove in the shower with soap, or a chemical exfoliant like Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. Chemical exfoliants help break down dead skin and clear out the pores so hair doesn’t get trapped.

☀️ With summer coming up, here are a few tips to help keep your skin happy + healthy!

• Sweat + heat = yeast overgrowth
Add in a dandruff shampoo (Nizoral, Selsun Blue) as a body wash 1-2x per week to cut back on those annoying breakouts that appear on the back, chest, shoulders. Lather, leave on 3 min, rinse.

• Throw some hypochlorous acid spray in your bag to keep it handy - great to spray all over after a very active day outside or after a gym session. Antibacterial + helps heal and soothe.

• Wearing swimsuits/shorts/etc means we’re probably shaving more and getting ingrowns - I recommend getting a WAX instead of shaving (Haley’s Vanity Esthetics ) but if you can’t do that, try to not shave everyday and add in a glycolic toner + apply 2x per week followed by lotion. (I prefer Prequel Multi-Acid Milk Peel over The Ordinary Glycolic Toner)

Hit your armpits while you’re at it and that will help with discoloration, and help you achieve less textured skin. (Wear SPF!!! Glycolic can make you more sensitive to the sun)

• Lotion SPF > Spray SPF
Spray is convenient but for long days (3+ hrs) lotion will ensure you are fully covered! Apply 10 min before beach/lake/etc!

• Aloe is great for sunburn relief but can cause some dehydration which is already likely with sunburnt skin so make sure to add a nonscented lotion on top of the aloe to prevent waterloss and promote healing

Be honest… are you still shaving every other day?

Razor bumps, ingrowns, and irritation… we are not doing that this summer.
Waxing = smoother skin, less irritation, and you don’t have to worry about it every 2 days

I have openings this week if you’re ready to get out of the shaving cycle 👀
