I’m trying to imagine (and not laugh out loud – ha!) right now how many at-home hair removal “oops!” like these occurred last weekend during Valentine’s Day. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m not going to lie when I say that at-home hair removal can be quite easy but let’s make sure we’re not pulling strips off in heart’s like this – ugh!

Love Gone Wrong

Here are some main tips to use when waxing at home, if you are desperate and HAVE to!

- Make sure you have all the necessities such as baby powder, tongue depressors, hard wax, strip wax, pre-cut waxing strips

- Make sure skin is exfoliated so that all hairs are totally accessible to the wax

- Be sure the area is completely dry – shake some baby powder on the area to dry up any anxiety sweat that may be there

- Check that the wax is at a honey-like consistency, if it is too thin it is too hot and vice verse if it is too thick

- Next take the tongue depressors and dip into the wax and glide this in the direction of hair growth

- Then take the strip and apply firmly and tear off quickly in the opposite way of the hair growth – the same goes for the hard wax pull off once it hardens on the area in the same direction

- Lastly, this is optional but may help, you can soothe the area with a towel dipped in milk and toss in the freezer. The cold will help soothe and chill the area from inflammation.

GOOD LUCK!

Hi Jenna,

For any wax, your hair should be about 1/4 of an inch long;  the perfect length to ensure that the wax has enough hair to grab securely onto, prolonging the time between waxes.

The Completely Bare wax is $82.  If you want the “relax” wax, which includes a pre-wax numbing cream applied to the area, the cost is $92.

Hi Raquel,

The completely bare with a flair wax is $110.  With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, it’s a great little surprise for that special someone.  The crystals last about a week and come in a variety of designs.  You can also design your own “flair”, and surprise your honey with his own initials on your bikini line.  Trust me, it’ll be his most memorable Valentine’s Day ever!
