BODY WAXING THE S&P WAY
SPEED WAXING FAUX PAS
Getting in and out fast for a waxing appointment is great …until it’s not. Continue reading to see how we can give you the best body waxing results you’ve ever had.
Listen, we are all busy, but that is no excuse to leave your waxing appointment feeling like you should have been at least given a nice dinner and some flowers first. Whether it’s for an underarm wax, bikini wax, Brazilian wax, or any other area, we believe in taking just a little extra time during your appointment to ensure that you not only feel taken care of, but that you notice an improvement in your overall body waxing results too.
First: THE BAD, & THE UGLY -
TOP FOUR BODY WAXING ISSUES
To help us determine the steps we would take during our waxing appointments, we chatted with friends, family, and potential clients about their past waxing experiences and what left them feeling hesitant about booking again. Below, we're diving into the top four concerns they shared and how we're determined to make things better for you.
HYGIENE & SANITATION CONCERNS
HYGINE & SANITATION
There is no excuse for filthy tools, dirty beds and work surfaces, and general unsanitary practices to ever be a part of your body waxing experience.
We promise that you will never see these waxing faux pas with us and that our hands are washed, tools are never double-dipped, equipment is sanitized, and rooms are kept clean and tidy.
Your health, safety, and peace of mind is our top priority during your time spent with us.
INCONSISTENT RESULTS
2. INCONSISTENT RESULTS
Referring to hair & stubble left behind, this concern is the result of a rushed service, incorrect wax formula, lack of training, and lack of communication regarding pre & post wax care.
Our team is booked ample time for each waxing service to really take care of you and your skin, working meticulously to ensure you get the best and longest lasting results possible.
Our custom hard wax blend works perfectly in our environment to ensure hair is removed from the follicle and not broken at the surface. The formula is gentle enough to wax the same area twice if needed, and no pain is felt unless hair is being removed as our wax does not adhere to the skin. Remaining hairs, if any, are tweezed.
POST WAX IRRITATION, SENSITIVITY, & STRAWBERRY SKIN
3. POST WAX IRRITATION & DREADED “STRAWBERRY SKIN”
Razor burn should only be experienced after using a razor, not wax. While it is normal to experience some redness or mild tenderness for the hour or so immediately after your service, you should not have to deal with long lasting bumps, ingrown hairs, soreness, or that “strawberry skin” stubble.
Many of these issues are the result of improperly removed or broken hairs, lack of skin prep or post wax treatment, lack of communication, and poorly managed expectations & aftercare instructions.
Each waxing appointment with us begins with a hair & skin softening pre-cleanse, and mild exfoliation using Fur Professional’s Silk Scrub and hot towel treatment.
The appointment ends with microbe-eliminating high frequency therapy and moisturizing Fur Oil Ingrown treatment.
POOR COMMUNICATION & AFTERCARE
4. POOR COMMUNICATION AND AFTERCARE
We understand that every person’s skin is different and thus a thorough consultation of your needs and specific experiences should be performed.
As previously stated, we book ample time to ensure we can understand and treat your needs. Before the end of your appointment with us, an aftercare plan specific to your needs is then discussed with a selection of retail items to take home that will ensure the continued health and “smoothness” of your skin post wax.
SIREN AND PROPER BODY WAX APPOINTMENT WALK-THROUGH
The number one reason a service provider can be guilty of the concerns discussed above is lack of time. A good appointment should never be rushed. You should leave your appointments feeling cared for, not like just another person moving through an assembly line of hair removal. This is why we book ample time for each appointment in order to thoroughly visit each of the appointment steps listed below:
