The Ultimate Guide to Waxing: Everything You Need to Know Before & After Your Appointment

Smooth, glowing skin never goes out of style. At  Kenz Beauty, we offer professional face and body waxing treatments designed to leave your skin feeling silky smooth, fresh, and beautifully maintained.

Whether you are new to waxing or a regular client, understanding the different types of wax, proper preparation, and aftercare can make a huge difference to your results and comfort.

What Is Waxing?

Waxing is a hair removal method that removes hair directly from the root using warm wax. Unlike shaving, which only removes hair at the surface level, waxing provides smoother skin for longer and often results in finer regrowth over time.

With regular waxing, many clients notice:

  • Slower hair growth
  • Softer regrowth
  • Smoother skin texture
  • Less irritation compared to frequent shaving
  • Longer-lasting results

Types of Wax We Use

At  Kenz Beauty, we use both hot wax and strip wax depending on the treatment area and skin type.

Hot Wax

Hot wax is applied warm directly onto the skin and removed without strips once it hardens slightly.

Best for:

  • Sensitive areas
  • Facial waxing
  • Shorter or coarser hair
  • Clients with sensitive skin

Many clients find hot wax gentler and more comfortable because it adheres mainly to the hair rather than the skin.

Strip Wax

Strip wax is applied in a thin layer and removed using waxing strips.

Best for:

  • Larger areas of the body
  • Arms and legs
  • Faster treatments
  • Fine hair removal

Strip wax allows efficient and smooth hair removal across larger areas.

How to Prepare Before Your Waxing Appointment

Preparing your skin properly can help reduce discomfort and improve results.

Before your appointment:

  • Allow hair to grow to approximately 0.5–1 cm
  • Gently exfoliate 24 hours before your treatment
  • Avoid applying heavy oils or lotions on the day
  • Wear loose comfortable clothing
  • Avoid sunburned or irritated skin before waxing

If it is your first time waxing, don’t worry — our therapists will guide you through the process and help you feel comfortable.

Waxing Aftercare Tips

Proper aftercare is essential to keep the skin calm and prevent irritation.

For the first 24–48 hours after waxing, avoid:

  • Hot showers or baths
  • Saunas and steam rooms
  • Intense exercise
  • Direct sun exposure
  • Fake tanning
  • Tight clothing on freshly waxed areas

Instead:

  • Keep the skin clean and hydrated
  • Wear breathable clothing
  • Use gentle fragrance-free skincare
  • Apply soothing products recommended by your therapist

How to Prevent Ingrown Hairs

Regular exfoliation is one of the best ways to prevent ingrown hairs.

We recommend:

  • Gentle exfoliation 2–3 times per week
  • Keeping the skin moisturised
  • Avoiding tight friction on freshly waxed areas
  • Maintaining regular waxing appointments

Consistent waxing schedules often help hair grow back finer and more evenly.

How Often Should You Wax?

Most clients return every 4–6 weeks depending on their hair growth cycle.

Regular waxing appointments provide:

  • Better long-term results
  • Less discomfort over time
  • Softer regrowth
  • Easier maintenance
