Pre-Waxing 1. Hair should be about 1/4 inches long. 2. Be sure to sanitize your hands prior to any service. 3. For sensitive areas, apply GiGi Numbing Spray 3 to 5 minutes prior to waxing. The eyebrows, upper lip, and bikini areas are the areas it should be used the most often. 4. Clean the skin with GiGi Pre Hon to remove body oil, make-up, dead skin cells, perspiration and bacteria from the skin. Make sure the skin is dry before continuing. 5. Apply a light coat of GiGi Pre Epilation Oil and blot. The oil will act as a buffer between the skin and the wax. | During Waxing 1. Apply the wax as far down as necessary, making sure to end wax in a hair-free area. Follow the direction of hair growth. Working in a small area, as the hair growth pattern indicates, apply the wax with your applicator. Make sure to allow the wax to cover no more than a two-inch area. 2. Pull the strip in the opposite direction, as quickly and as close to the skin as possible. 3. Apply FIRM pressure with your hand immediately after each epilation. 4. Work in small sections only and repeat procedure for each section. Remember that each change in the direction of hair growth requires a separate application. | Post Waxing 1. To remove waxy residue from the skin after waxing, use GiGi Wax Off. 2. Apply GiGi Post Wax Cooling Gel to soothe the area. It contains Aloe Vera and Allantoin, which are naturally soothing and have anti-inflammatory properties. This will help reduce redness and irritation. 3. Other GiGi post epilation products may be used according to skin and service type. Just remember less is best when it comes to stimulation to the skin and amount of product used. | Maintenance 1. No hot baths for the remainder of the day as hot water can sip into open hair follicle and cause irritation. 2. No tanning bed sessions for up to 48 hours. 3. After 48 hours, it is recommended to exfoliate skin to help prevent ingrown hairs. 4. To help reduce ingrown hair and bump, we recommend GIGI No Bump control scrub. Important for Women: Do not schedule your waxing session 3 days before your period since skin tends to be the most sensitive during time. |
