Hair Removal Waxing — Pre & Post Care

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Please consult your doctor or avoid waxing if you currently have or recently experienced:

  • Diabetes

  • Hemophilia (bleeding disorder)

  • Contagious skin conditions

  • Accutane use within the past 12 months

  • Retinol or chemical exfoliants used within the past 2 weeks on or around the treatment area

  • Blood thinners (may increase bruising or sensitivity)

PRE-CARE — BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

To achieve the smoothest and most comfortable results:

  1. Hair Length — Ideal growth is 6–12mm (¼ to ½ inch) — about the size of a grain of rice.

  2. Trim or Grow Accordingly — Longer hair is completely fine and does not need to be trimmed. If trimming, avoid cutting it too short, as the wax may not grip effectively. Kefi Beauty does not trim body hair for safety reasons.

  3. Exfoliate & Hydrate — Gently exfoliate 1–2 days before your appointment and moisturize the area to soften the skin. This helps reduce discomfort and ensures a smoother wax.

  4. Personal Hygiene — Please arrive clean and practice good hygiene, especially for Brazilian waxing. If showering immediately before your appointment, use cool to lukewarm water and avoid very hot showers, which may make skin more sensitive.

  5. Clothing Choice — Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your appointment. For sensitive skin, this can help minimize friction and irritation immediately after your waxing and keeps you more comfortable during your visit.

  6. During Your Menstrual Cycle —

    • You can still wax while on your period — just wear a clean tampon during the service.

    • A self-cleansing wipe will be provided before the appointment for your comfort.

    • The area will also be pre-cleansed and prepped with professional pre-waxing products to ensure optimal hygiene and skin protection before your service.

POST CARE — AFTER YOUR WAX

FIRST 24 HOURS — AVOID & CARE

Your skin is most sensitive during this period. To help minimize irritation:

  • Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning beds.

  • Avoid sexual activity or intense exercise, especially after intimate waxing.

  • Avoid steam rooms, saunas, hot baths or hot showers.

  • Avoid tight clothing or underwear — friction may cause irritation or bumps.

FIRST 48 HOURS — WATER TEMPERATURE

  • Use cool to lukewarm water when showering or cleansing the waxed area during the first 48 hours.

  • Avoid hot water, scrubbing or harsh products on freshly waxed skin.

AFTER 48 HOURS — CARE & MAINTENANCE

Once the skin has calmed:

  • Gently manually exfoliate 3 times per week for approximately 60 seconds to help lift dead skin buildup and prevent ingrown hairs.

  • Apply an ingrown hair serum or oil, followed by moisturizer within 5 minutes after showering or exfoliating. Moisturize regularly to keep the skin soft and hydrated.

  • Wear comfortable underwear and avoid overly tight clothing to reduce friction and irritation.

  • Re-book every 4–5 weeks depending on your individual hair growth cycle, which can vary due to hormones and genetics. Consistent waxing helps align the hair growth cycle for easier removal. Avoid shaving between waxes and waiting longer than 5 weeks to wax, as more developed or shaved hair can have a stronger structure and deeper attachment, making removal more uncomfortable.
