To prepare for waxing, ensure that the hair is at least 1/4 inch long for effective removal. Avoid exfoliating the area 24 hours before your appointment to minimize irritation. It’s also a good idea to avoid sun exposure, tanning, and using any products that might irritate your skin prior to your session. If you have sensitive skin or are prone to ingrown hairs, consider using a gentle, soothing lotion or oil to calm the area.
