Waxing FAQS

Hello beautiful ladies. Here is all you need to know about Bikini Brazilian wax! Read below to learn all the tips and tricks to make your wax experience comfortable.
- Waxing doesn’t only remove the hair but it also exfoliates your skin.
- After waxing your skin is smooth since it was exfoliated and the hair was removed from the root.
- The hair will take longer to grow back since it was removed from the root.
- Each time you wax, the hair grows back finer, softer and sparse.
- If done by a licensed professional, waxing rarely causes irritations like hair removal creams and epilators.
After the first wax it will get easier and easier. Consistency is key.
Waxing lasts longer and provides smoother results, removing the hair from the root. Shaving cuts the hairs from the surface which lasts only a few days.
Epilation is like shaving, it only cuts the hair from the surface. Plus it’s more painful. Waxing results are longer and less discomfort.
Chemical creams can cause irritation and burning. It only removes the hair from the surface unlike waxing which removes the hair from the root.
Waxing works for any skin tone and hair type. Laser hair reduction results vary depending on the skin tone and hair types. It is also very expensive if it doesn’t work. Waxing is much more cost effective.
Bikini Line – We wax the sides so when you wear a bikini you can’t see the hairs poking out.
Bikini Full – We wax as much or as littles as you want in the front. You can request to leave a strip, triangle, square or nothing.
Bikini Brazilian – We wax as much or as little in the front including the butt strip.
Your hair should be as long as a grain of rice, 1/4 inch long, for the wax to be able to grip the hair. First time waxers should not shave for at least 2 weeks before. It is recommended to wax every 3-4 weeks.
You will be asked to remove your clothing from the waist down before getting onto the bed. This allows us to work uninterrupted and also prevents wax from getting on to your clothes. No need to me shy, you look fabulous.
- Relax and breathe. The more relaxed you are the better the wax experience will be.
- Inform us of any medications you’re taking, such as antibiotics, accutane, or topical creams.
- Wear comfortable cotton panties to avoid irritation if it’s your first time receiving a bikini wax
- Relax and breathe. The more relaxed you are the better the wax experience will be.
- Do Not tan the area that will be waxed for 24-48 hours before.
- Do Not consume alcohol or a lot of caffeine before your wax. That can tighten the pores, making it an uncomfortable experience.
- Do Not use numbing creams, they don’t penetrate the skin deep enough to work.
- Do Not tan the area that will be waxed for 24-48 hours before.
When you arrive you will get undressed as I prepare what I need for your service.
Step 1: We will cleanse the skin to remove any residue to have a better waxing result.
Step 2: Well will protect the skin by using wax oil.
Step 3: We will use hard wax which is less painful than strip-wax. Hard wax adheres to the hair not the skin. Strip wax adheres to the skin which is more painful.
Step 4: We will soothe the skin after the wax service by using aloe vera. Aloe Vera is an antioxidant and antibacterial which will help cool and calm the skin.
We recommend that you wait 24-48 hours after a wax before sex as it can cause the skin irritation since the hair follicles are open.
We recommend that you wait 24-28 hours after a wax to tan. If you are in the sun you need to apply sun screen protection broad spectrum 30.
Redness can happen after waxing. It can take a few days depending on your skin to go away.
Ingrown hairs can happen after waxing. To prevent this exfoliate and treat the skin with aloe vera.
Hairs grow on a different growth cycles and you may see hairs growing after a wax. Leave them alone because the next time you come in we can wax them and get them on the same growth cycle.
Bumps can happen after waxing and will go away within a few hours to a few days. Use aloe vera to help soothe and treat the ingrown hair, bumps and breakouts.
Do Not scratch freshly waxed areas because you can cause irritation since the skin is new and sensitive. Use aloe vera to help sooth the itch.
- If you are on your period you can still receive a wax service, just keep in mind that the area might be more sensitive. You will need to put a fresh tampon prior to your service.
- You CAN NOT be waxed with a sunburn. Refer to your doctor if you have questions about the wax services while on medication. Discontinue the use of prescribed creams like Retin-A or Differin for 7 days prior to your wax. It is dangerous to wax while on accutane. Please inform us what medications you may be taking so we can provide you with a safe wax experience.
- It is safe to wax while pregnant, you may be more sensitive due to the hormonal change your body is going through.
- You must be at least 16 years old to receive bikini wax services. Parental consent for bikini services to clients under 16 years of age.
- Waxing will not harm your tattoos in fact, it will brighten them because it is exfoliating the dead skin. We recommend that you remove your piercings. We can work around it but we may not be able to get all the hairs surrounding the piercing.
If you have a UTI and you feel comfortable enough to wax then the answer is yes you can get a bikini wax.
If you have a yeast infection hold off on waxing until it passes.
Eyebrows shapes the face! Let us help you give the best brow shape for you face. We will consults about what your goals are for your brows. We recommend that you wax your brows every 2-3 weeks to look perfect.
Everyone is unique but some examples for face shapes and their most flattering brows are:
Square faces are well-defined with naturally sharp angles and a round brow or soft angled brow will help create a beautiful balance.
Round faces look better with sharp angled, high arch brows. This will help create define lines that will flatter.
Long or oval faces look best with soft arches or flat brows. If the arch looked high it will enlongate the face.
Heart-shape faces need natural, soft angled arches that bring attention only to the upper half of the face.
Waxing is faster and less painful than threading. Threading slowly removes the hair, one by one, which isn’t comfortable. Waxing removes the hair in a few strips and lasts longer. With waxing we can achieve a cleaner and sharper look. Threading can take a toll on sensitive skin especially for acne prone skin. Hard wax provides comfort even to the most sensitive skin types.
Tweezing is more painful because you are removing the hairs one by one. This doesn’t last long because waxing gets those hairs that tweezers can’t. Plus you don’t want to over-tweeze by accident.
Mircoblading is a semi-permanent make-up application and doesn’t remove hairs. If you get your brows mircobladed you still have to clean the hairs that grow outside of your brow shape. Waxing is a perfect solution to maintain a clean brow. Your brows must be healed after Mircoblading to receive a brow wax.
FAQ
Lash Extensions FAQ

Eye lash extensions are a cosmetic application to your natural lashes to enhance the appearance of eyelash length, curl, and fullness. The lashes are lightweight and made from high-quality synthetic blend. Eyelash extensions are either made from a singular lash or a fan of lashes. Both types of lashes come in a variety of lengths and thickness. A fan of multiple lashes will share the same base. As with the singular lash, one fan is applied to one natural lash to create dimension and texture. Customization options are infinite since the lash extensions come in a variety of lengths, curls, and fans.
Classic lashing is a technique in which a single extension is applied to one isolated natural lash. Classic Lashes are natural and timeless.
The natural lashes go through a shedding cycle; we lose on average 3 lashes per day. At J Beauty and Skin it is recommended to come in every 2-3 weeks for a refill. After 3 weeks the service becomes a full set.
Use only J Beauty and Skin products on your extensions. Come to your appointments without eye make-up. Talk to your lash artist about the proper home care.
After receiving any eyelash extension service you will need to wait 24 hours before getting you extensions wet. After the adhesive would have set and they become water-resistant.
It depends on which service you desire.
Lash extensions are place on a single natural lash therefore your lash artist will be applying precisely 70%-80% coverage of your natural lashes during a classic set.
Eyelash extensions will not damage your natural lashes because when the lash extension is placed on a single natural lash it will eventually shed.
The answer is YES! It is very important to maintain clean lash extensions. Demodex are tint mites that live on the hair follicles. They feed on dead skin cells, oils, and hormones that build up on the lash line. Therefore not following the proper aftercare for lash extensions may cause the development lash mites. Symptoms may include; red, scaly skin, or a burning sensation on the skin.
Wash your lashes daily with J Beauty and Skin Organic Lash Cleanser.
Avoid oil based make up products. (Which provides food for mites)
Exfoliating your skin (on the face) once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells.
J Beauty and Skin organic lash cleanser is a premium organic ophthalmologist formulation to cleanse eyelids and eyelashes of all ocular secretion made in response to Blepharitis, Demodex Mites and other bacterial & allergic irritations. This is essential for cleaning eyelash extensions. No degrading the adhesives so your hard-won lashes stay as fresh and as clean as can be.
Pump foam cleanser onto a clean eyeshadow brush or disposable microfiber wand. Brush foam into the base of the lash line and through the lashes. Rinse eyes with water. Brush through the lashes with a mascara wand to straighten them out. Let lashes air dry.
In the Fall or Spring we lose lashes quicker. In this time clients may need more fills and have lots of baby lashes coming through. Say hello to Spring/Fall shed, yes it’s real! It’s common to experience seasonal hair loss including the eyelashes in the Spring and Fall time. For example, dogs shed a lot before the winter to allow their winter coat in. Then shed their winter coat spring time to be cooler in the warmer months. Don’t worry seasonal hair loss is normal in both humans and dog! Any hair lost is immediately replace by a new growing lash. If having less lashes bothers you just schedule your appointments accordingly. Just visit your lash artist more frequently until it passes.
A Lash Lift can last 4-6 weeks but can vary depending on the eye lash hair growth. There is no need for any maintenance appointments in between but you will need to have the process repeated every 6 weeks to lift the new hair growth. You should avoid wetting the lashes and applying mascara for 24 hours after the treatment.
One way to think of a lash lift is like a perm for your eyelashes. Unlike a lash extension, a lash lift simply alters the shape and color of your natural lashes.
A good candidate for the Lash Lift is someone who has strong, healthy lashes, and wants to make their eyes look open and pretty without the daily hassle or damage of a lash curler.
If you have eyelash extensions they need to be removed at least 3 days to 1 week prior to appointment.
For best results, do not use waterproof mascara or curl your lashes 2-4 days prior to your treatment.
No eye makeup the day of your appointment.
Be gentle with your lashes; no rubbing.
Do not get your lashes wet for the first 24 hrs.
Do not use harsh products on your eyes/lashes.
Use of Sauna/Steam is possible after 24hrs but may weaken the effect of the lift.
No eye make up for 24 hours.
Avoid waterproof mascara’s.
