2)TRIM: Please trim or grow your body hair to optimal length of hair removal from the root, longer body hair would not affect the process, hair too short would be harder to remove. Kefi Beauty does not do body hair trimming for safety reasons

3)EXFOLIATE & HYDRATE: Removal of dead skin 1-2 days and hydrate the area prior to appointment for a more thorough and painless wax

4)PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF PERSONAL HYGIENE PRIOR TO BRAZILIAN AREA APPOINTMENT

We recommend applying Zensa Numbing Cream at home, 30-40 mins prior to your appointment to be in effect. Before starting appointment, please let the waxologist know if you have applied numbing or taken medication that may affect your skin and reaction during the appointment.

AFTER CARE:

DON’T

• Go into the sun, use tanning beds, have sex or exercise for 24 hours

• Use steam rooms / saunas or anything heat related for 24 hours

• Avoid activities that may cause excessive sweating , sweat can cause bacteria to get into open pores after hair removal

• Wear overly tight panties or clothing; the friction can cause sensitivities

DO

  • First 48 hours, finish off shower or face wash with COLD water to minimize open pores , this helps to reduce possibility of pores clogging, blemishes or red bumps and bacterial infection from sweat and facial/body products.

• After 48 hours, gently exfoliate opposite direction of hair growth to prevent ingrown hairs

•Exfoliate often to prevent ingrown hair

• Re-book your appointment approximately every 4-6 weeks depending on your hair cycle
