We are estheticians first and care about the integrity of our clients’ skin. Conducting a skin consultation is part of every service we provide, so you can rest assured you are getting the safest service, and best aftercare advice.

At Bare Beautique, we use cultivated methods and premium waxes which helps to minimize discomfort. Try to avoid caffeine and alcohol as this can make you more sensitive. You can also take an ibuprofen an hour before your service.

For more sensitive areas of the body such as the face, underarms, and bikini area we use variety of premium hard waxes, sure to fit your skins needs. Our hard, film wax is gentle on the skin and shrink wraps around the hairs leaving skin silky smooth. For larger areas such as the legs, arms, chest, and back we use a cream based strip wax.

Unlike shaving, which leaves thick rough stubble within 24 hours, waxing removes hair at the root. Each time you wax, you are weakening the hair follicle so that hair grows back finer, resulting in beautifully smooth skin that can last weeks.

Even if you think you’re a hairy monster or that your hair grows faster than everyone else, trust us…WAIT! To achieve the smoothest results, you will want to wait 2-3 weeks from your last shave and 4 weeks post-wax.

YES, but remember that you may be slightly more sensitive a few days before and after your cycle.

Make sure you are hydrated and moisturized. Dry, brittle hair has a tendency to break at the surface rather than come out at the root. You will also want to exfoliate at least 24 hours before your waxing appointment. Exfoliation sloughs off the dead skin, which allows for easier hair removal.

NO! Leave the trimming to us. When clients trim, they often cut hairs too short, resulting in breakage.

YES! You must stop using hydroquinone, Rodan & Fields, AHA’s, BHA’s, Retin-A, Aczone and other topical prescription acne creams 72 hours before a waxing appointment. These products thin the skin and can make you more prone to lifting.

Sunburn can take up to 24 hours to show up and sunburned skin cannot be waxed. Avoid laying in the sun or using a tanning bed for 48 hours before your wax.

NO!! Freshly waxed skin is more prone to burning and may result in hyperpigmentation if exposed to UV rays, especially for facial waxing clients. Avoid the sun and tanning beds for 48 hours post-wax.

After a waxing service your pores may remain open for up to 48 hours. Avoid exercise, saunas, pools, hot tubs, lakes, and the ocean for 48 hours. If you must workout, make sure to shower immediately.

Caring for your skin post wax is extremely important. Exfoliation helps to slough off the dead skin and prevent ingrown hairs. Use a gentle sugar scrub or exfoliating glove 2-3 times a week.
