At Don’t Be Shai Luxury Wax Center, our goal is to provide the most comfortable, effective waxing experience in Charlotte, NC—and that starts before you even walk through our doors.

🕒 1. Timing Is Everything

Knowing when to book your wax makes a huge difference.

• Hair Length: For best results, your hair should be at least ¼ inch long—about the length of a grain of rice. This gives the wax something to grip. Too short? The wax won’t hold. Too long? It might hurt more than necessary.

• Cycle Check: If you're scheduling a bikini or Brazilian wax, try to avoid the days before or during your period. Hormonal changes make your skin more sensitive and waxing more uncomfortable.

🧽 2. Exfoliate Like a Queen (But Not Right Before)

Exfoliation = better waxing results. Gently scrub the area 24–48 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin and help prevent ingrown hairs. Use a mild exfoliating glove or scrub designed for sensitive skin.

🚫 Avoid exfoliating the day of your wax—you’ll risk over-sensitizing your skin.

---

🚫 3. Skip These Before Your Appointment

To prevent irritation or discomfort, avoid the following in the 1–2 days before waxing:

• Tanning or self-tanners: Tanned skin = sensitive skin. Let it rest.

• Active ingredients: Ditch glycolic acids, retinoids, or acne treatments that could make your skin prone to redness or even tearing.

• Shaving: Let your hair grow to the right length. Shaving too close to your wax won’t give great results.

---

💧 4. Hydrate Your Skin From the Inside Out

• Drink plenty of water before your appointment. Hydrated skin = less irritation.

• Moisturize regularly in the days before, but skip the lotion or oil the day of. These can interfere with the wax's ability to adhere properly.

😌 5. Pain Management Tips for a More Comfortable Wax

First time? No worries—we’ve got you covered.

• Take Ibuprofen: 30 minutes before your appointment can ease discomfort and reduce inflammation.

• Topical Numbing Creams: If you're extra sensitive, ask your esthetician if a numbing cream is right for you.

🧖♀️ Bonus tip: Breathe deeply and try to relax. Tension makes the process feel more intense!

👗 6. Dress for Comfort

What you wear matters. Choose loose, breathable fabrics to avoid friction on freshly waxed skin—especially for bikiniand Brazilian wax services.

🧴 8. Aftercare is Everything: How to Love Your Skin Post-Wax

Proper care after your wax keeps your skin soft, happy, and bump-free.

DO:

• Apply aloe vera or a fragrance-free post-wax lotion

• Wear soft, loose clothing

• Exfoliate gently 2–3 days after (and regularly thereafter)

DON’T:

• Take hot showers or go to the sauna within 24 hours

• Work out heavily or sweat excessively

• Expose freshly waxed skin to the sun or tanning beds for 48 hours
