Waxing is the longest lasting temporary hair removal method that removes hair from the root. New hairs will not grow back in the previously waxed area for three to eight weeks. However, it is not until your third waxing treatment that you fully recognize the full benefit of waxing due to the fact that hair grows in three stages. This means that when you start waxing, you need to plan for 3 waxing sessions before you can take advantage of silky-smooth legs for up to 8 weeks! Soon the three stages will be closer together and a regular maintenance session will be needed to keep your legs silky smooth.

Jon’Ric International uses the PHD waxing system, a unique and recently patented concept where a disposable applicator is attached to the waxing tube and then discarded after each treatment. This process eliminates cross-contamination and prohibits bacterial growth, a common concern among hair removal specialists.

What are the benefits of hair removal?

– Hair is softer without a beard

– Waxing slows hair growth and eventually the hair will never grow back

– Hair free for up to 8 weeks

– Hair grows back faster.

– Waxing helps remove dry cells from the skin’s surface, making moisturizers more effective

– Many clients notice a decrease in the density of their hair after regular long-term waxing, so maintenance appointments can be scheduled less frequently.

How should you prepare for a waxing appointment?

Almost any area of ​​the body can be shaved, including eyebrows, face, bikini area, arms, back (very popular with men), abdomen, feet and toes. Before your appointment:

o Check that your home skin care regimen does not include Accutane, Retin A, Renova, Differin, or other types of skin-thinning acne medications. Due to the adverse and damaging effects on the skin when exposed to hair removal products, you should avoid this service if you are currently using any of these medications or a combination of them.

o Take Advil or Tylenol 30 minutes before your appointment if you are sensitive to pain and ask your esthetician about a numbing agent that can be applied to the skin before treatment.

o Waxing during your menstrual cycle is not recommended. During your cycle your body is more sensitive due to hormonal changes, which makes the treatment more painful.

o Make sure it is at least ¼ inch long for successful removal

o Do not sunbathe or tanning beds 48 hours before waxing.

o Cleanse the skin of all oils or lotions

o Loofah or gently exfoliate the skin
