Waxing Preparation & Aftercare

Tranquil Beauty Lounge – Professional Waxing in Oldham

At Tranquil Beauty Lounge in Oldham, we want every waxing treatment to deliver smooth, flawless results. To help you get the best from your wax, follow these simple waxing aftercare & pre-wax tips.

 

Pre-Wax Advice

Prepare your skin for the perfect wax finish

Hair length matters: Make sure your hair is long enough for complete removal from the roots — ideally at least 0.5 cm. If you’ve shaved recently, it might take two or three waxes to get your hair growth cycle fully aligned for best results.

Avoid lotions and creams: Skip self-tanners, body sprays, deodorants, and other products before your appointment.

Let it grow out: If you’ve been shaving, allow 2–3 weeks of regrowth before waxing.

Plan ahead: Book your wax 2–3 days before a beach or pool trip if you plan to sunbathe.

Avoid heat: No tanning beds, hot tubs, or saunas before your appointment.

Gently exfoliate: Exfoliate the area 24 hours before your wax to remove dead skin cells and help the wax grip hairs more effectively.

 

Post-Wax Aftercare

Keep your skin calm, clean, and healthy

After your treatment, it’s normal to experience slight redness or a mild, heat-like rash. This should disappear within a few hours. Because waxing removes hair from the root, keeping the area clean and bacteria-free is important:

Avoid sunbathing for 12 hours (plan your wax the day before your holiday).

Wait 24 hours before swimming in chlorinated pools or using saunas and spa baths.

Skip lotions, perfumed products, or oils for at least 12 hours.

Avoid touching the waxed area to prevent irritation or infection.

Apply a tea tree oil-based product to soothe and protect the skin with its natural antibacterial qualities.

 

How Long Will Your Wax Last?

If you’re new to waxing, you may notice light regrowth after 2–3 weeks. This happens as hair growth cycles align. With regular waxing, most clients stay hair-free for 3–6 weeks, and over time, hair regrows finer and softer.
