If you're booking your first wax—or returning after a break—a little preparation can make the appointment smoother. Pretty Faces Beauty Studio & Spa offers professional waxing services in Portmore, Jamaica.

How long should hair be before waxing?

Hair needs enough length for the wax to grip. The ideal length depends on the area and method, so check with your therapist before your appointment rather than shaving immediately beforehand.

How do I prepare my skin?

Arrive with clean skin and avoid harsh exfoliation right before the appointment. Tell your therapist about retinoids, acne treatments, recent peels, sunburn or skin irritation. Certain medications and products can make waxing unsafe for some areas.

Does waxing cause ingrown hairs?

Ingrown hairs can happen after waxing or shaving, especially in areas where hair is coarse or curly. Gentle skincare and following your therapist's aftercare advice may help reduce irritation. Avoid picking at bumps, and seek medical care if they become painful or infected.

What should I avoid after waxing?

Freshly waxed skin may be sensitive. Follow your therapist's specific advice about heat, friction, sun exposure, perfumed products and exfoliation in the first day or two.

Waxing or laser hair removal?

Waxing removes hair temporarily, while laser treatment aims to reduce regrowth over a series of sessions. The right option depends on your preferences, skin and hair characteristics, budget and suitability for treatment.
