Make Your Next Waxing Experience As "smooth" As Possible

Waxing can be uncomfortable and for some, downright painful! We have some basic waxing tips to make your next waxing appointment go more "smoothly". Summer is here and it's time to start waxing away that unwanted hair.

RELAX AND WAX WAXING TOP 10 TIPS

1. Hair should have 3-4 weeks of growth before waxing! (4's better)

2. Do not use lotion or oil on the day of waxing or after your last shower prior to your appointment

3. Take a shower if possible, just prior to your appointment. Hot water opens pores and allows hair to come out easy, making it less painful for you.

4. Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate, in the shower. Scrub'Me'Luscious will not leave skin oily or greasy.

5. Use a topical numbing product - especially for bikini and Brazilian waxing clients. Reduce waxing pain up to 80% by using Relax & Wax No Scream Cream! (For best results, be sure to follow use instructions for this product.)

6. Take a pain reliever 30- 45 minutes before your appointment if you're worried about pain.

7. Reduce Post Wax redness & irritation by applying Relax & Wax No Trauma Momma to the skin prior to waxing.

8. Keep bumps away! After waxing, we suggest using Relax & Wax, post-wax treatment, Get the Bump Outta. No one wants to go through all that pain and trouble to have bumps and ugly ingrown hairs. It comes in a bottle with a rolling ball applicator — super easy to use! It is highly effective yet gentle on the skin.

9. Do not wax directly before or after your period. Skin is often more sensitive during the time near your period, so your appointment shouldn't be any closer than a couple of days before or after your period.

10. Now get out there and enjoy your summer!

Relax and Wax founder Deborah Merhar writes:

"As an Esthetician I have tried every product on the market, even scouring drug store shelves, trying to obtain pain free waxing results for my clients. When I finally found one that actually worked, the cost was prohibitive and you needed a prescription. But, I knew I was on to something and the search was on. Topical solutions that did desensitize the skin were not compatible with the wax and the ones that allowed the wax to do it's job did nothing to ease the pain. But, I would not give up - there had to be an answer! Finnally success after months and months of disappointment! Finally, a topical anesthetic in a water based product that did not interfere with the wax.

I have been using this product for over 6 years with rave reviews and very happy clients. People are calling weekly. You have have what every woman wants!

Test it for yourself. Apply NO-SCREAM CREAM to half of the area of a Bikini or Brazilian Bikini Wax. Wax the untreated side first, then wax the area you applied NO-SCREAM CREAM. Then experience the delight of painless waxing for yourself.

As the professional, see the look of amazement on your client's faces, the smiles, then see your retail sales skyrocket. 95% of my bikini waxing clients have purchased NO-SCREAM CREAM and most won't get waxed without it!"
