SB Spa Tampa | Face, Bikini and Body Waxing

WAXING TREATMENTS

Shower before you come in. The cleaner you are, the more thorough we can be.
If you are anxious about the pain, pick up one of our numbing creams and apply it an hour before your service. It really helps.

Two Advil seem to help some women, but be careful, more than two can thin the blood and increase your risk of bruising.
Avoid drinking alcohol the night before a wax. It can thin the blood and increase your risk of bruising.
You tend to be more sensitive right before your period, so keep that in mind when making appointments.
If you want the hair to come out easier and more thoroughly, try our water based shower scrub right before your appointment. It works great and loosens up those stubborn hairs that like to stick to your skin.

Don’t try to help. It just makes the service take longer and will leave your skin more red and irritated.
Leftover wax can irritate the skin, so make sure you use enough oil to get rid of the wax residue while you are in the salon.
Leftover oil can clog pores and cause bumps, so thoroughly wipe your entire bikini area with a baby wipe to remove excess oil out of your pores.

Use a hot soapy washcloth in the shower at some point the same day after your wax. It finishes cleaning out the pores and reduces bumps.

Do not use powders or lotions on the bikini area or your will increase your risk of ingrown hairs and irritation.

We do have several after-wax roll-on solutions that are made specifically for the bikini area if you are prone to ingrown hairs. They are not expensive, should last several months, and are very effective.

If you stay red for more than one day, pick up some “No Trauma Momma.” It is a cream that calms the redness.

If you notice a few strays when you get home, please come back to the salon at your earliest convenience, and we will take care of it. You can also tweeze them in the direction of the hair growth.

Bruising sometimes is unavoidable and if we find you are prone to it, we will do our best to help minimize the effects
