What should clients avoid before scheduling a waxing appointment?

Clients should avoid sunbathing before scheduling a waxing appointment for several important reasons related to skin health and the waxing experience. When skin has been exposed to the sun, it may become sensitive, irritated, or sunburned. This heightened sensitivity can lead to increased pain and discomfort during the waxing procedure, as the skin is already compromised.

Additionally, sunburned skin could be more prone to negative reactions such as redness, swelling, or even peeling post-waxing. Therefore, to ensure the most comfortable and effective waxing experience, it is advisable for clients to refrain from sunbathing prior to their appointments, allowing their skin to be in its best condition for the procedure.

In contrast, excessive exercise can lead to sweating, which may remove some of the wax and hinder effective hair removal, while moisturizing could impact the wax’s adhesion to the hair. Shaving right before waxing is not recommended either, as it does not allow for the hair to grow to an appropriate length for effective waxing. However, the most critical pre-waxing consideration is to avoid sun exposure, making it essential for clients to plan their waxing sessions accordingly.
