Why wax and how to find a good waxer

Waxing is one of the best ways to remove hair because it is removed at the root, not just cut of at the skin's surface as it is in shaving. Over time, hair in waxed areas may not grow back at all, or if it does, the hair is thinner. Any part of the body may be waxed. The results last 2-4 weeks after the first waxing and usually 4-6 weeks after several monthly treatments depending on your individual rate of hair growth.

To avoid some of the horror stories discussed in a previous post, here are some questions to ask when looking for someone to wax you.
  • ask your friends who they go to. a personal referral is always a good way to find the right waxer
  • ask what kind of wax they use - if you're getting a leg or back wax, the soft strip wax is usually used. for a bikini, underarm, face, or other sensitive area, hard wax is best because it hardens around the hair and doesn't stick to the skin.
  • ask the person how long they have been practicing
  • ask how many of the waxing services the person does in a week

Once you find someone, let the waxer know about any medications you are taking and any allergies you have. These may effect whether or not it will be safe to wax you or what after care products are used. Aftercare is very important, so don't forget to ask your waxer what you should do to maintain smooth healthy skin after waxing.
