Body Waxing 

Waxing is the process of hair removal, we use hard and soft wax to effectively remove the hair from the root. At SoulFlower Lashes & Spa we use only the best products that are specifically formulated with all skin types in mind. We use demi-creamy based hard wax that is formulated for all skin types and all areas use, having the perfect balance between creamy and translucent.

The skin is prepped with a cleanser, oil to protect the skin from the wax, after the waxing process is complete we use Aloe gel that soothes, and calms. Followed with almond oil to remove wax residue.

The hair must be a minimum of 1/4 inch to ensure proper removal of hair. Trimming is not recommended.

Hard wax is thicker than soft wax, and hardens on your skin. Once it hardens, its removed with your technicians (Gloved)hand.

There is no need for waxing strips. This process is a lot less painful.

Soft wax is a little thiner than hard wax. It’s spread across the area and then is pulled off using a cloth strip.

Prewax Care

1.) Is you hair long enough?

Prior to waxing, the length of your hair should be at least a quarter inch long.

(As long as a grain of rice.)

(2.) Plan ahead!

Avoid scheduling your (Brazilian Wax) around the time of your period. Our skin tend to be more sensitive. We also recommend avoiding alcohol & Smoking before your appointment. It will make your blood thinner and you more sensitive to the pain.

(3.) Make sure you are clean.

Yes, it's a kindness to your waxer that you arrive fresh and cleansed (and not right from the gym), but it will also help your wax go more smoothly.

Natural oils, sweat, or body lotions can prohibit wax from adhering as well. Come in tidy, like brushing your teeth before going to the dentist.
