Pickering's #1 Wax & Sugar Studio

For the best results and a comfortable experience, follow these simple steps:

1. Let your hair grow before your appointment

• Forwaxing or sugaring, allow your hair to grow for about2–3 weeksor until it is at least the length of a grain of rice.
• Avoid shaving before your appointment, as the hair needs to be long enough for the product to grip.

2. Exfoliate before your appointment

• Gently exfoliate the area24–48 hours beforeyour service to remove dead skin and help prevent ingrown hairs.
• Avoid harsh scrubs on the day of your appointment.

3. Keep your skin clean

• Arrive with clean skin and avoid applying lotions, oils, deodorants, or heavy creams on the area being treated before your appointment.

4. Avoid sun exposure and tanning

• Avoid tanning beds, self-tanners, and excessive sun exposure before hair removal, as sensitive or sunburned skin may react more easily.

5. Avoid certain skincare products before waxing/sugaring

Please inform your esthetician if you are using:

• Retinol/Retin-A products
• Strong exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA)
• Acne medications such as Accutane
• Any medications that may affect your skin sensitivity

6. Reduce sensitivity before your appointment

• Avoid scheduling your appointment during a time when your skin is extra sensitive (many clients experience increased sensitivity around their menstrual cycle).
• Stay hydrated and avoid excessive caffeine before your service if you are sensitive.

7. Wear comfortable clothing

• Choose loose, breathable clothing after your appointment, especially for Brazilian, bikini, or body waxing services.
