Waxing FAQ
At Panache Salon & Day Spa we use 2 different waxes depending on what is being waxed and what the skin and hair is like. We use a soft wax that requires strips the remove the wax and is used mainly for larger areas being waxed. My personal favorite, Berins blue hard wax, that makes it own strip. Hard wax does not stick to the skin which makes it less irritating and can be used on the face, underarms and bikini area.****Some medications make your skin more sensitive and should be avoided when waxing – skincare treatments with Retin-A, Differin and Accutane as well as blood thinners. Waxing over an area where one of these products has been used can actually remove your skin! OUCH! Because all clients deserve to be offered their hair removal services in a safe and sanitary environment, we follow sanitary precautions for all hair removal . We use clean sheets, towels, gloves, waxing sticks, tweezers, scissors, waxing strips, etc. for each client. What We Wax- Facial hair, arms, under arms, chest, back, belly strip, bikini, Braziallin, legs, tops of feet, toes. Facial Waxing- We wax your brows, lip, chin and other hair that grows on your face. If you are prone to pimples after waxing please let us know and we will apply a thin layer of Clear-It. This helps discourage an breakout. A bikini wax removes a little more than anything that's visible when wearing a "regular" bikini bottom.The "Brazilian" differs from a regular bikini wax because hair is removed in the front, back and everything in between. Some of the time a "landing strip" is left in the front, but some clients opt for everything removed. Other names for the Brazilian are the Sphinx, the Hollywood, the full Monty, the playboy and the European. But at Panache we call it the Brazillian.
