“Why booking a wax service is just as important as packing a bag…”
So you booked your flight and have your packing list in hand. Swimsuit: check. Sandals: check. Tank top: check. Have you booked your wax appointments yet? If not, the clock is ticking. To help you depart in the best way you can, we’re sharing 5 important reasons why you won’t want to wait. When you expose your skin to sun and shift to a wardrobe that reveals more skin, it’s important to treat it with the TLC it deserves. Waxing is just as important as anything in your travel bag. Starting a pre-trip routine will save you time and help you maintain smooth, supple skin before, during and after your trip.
Here are our top 5 reasons for you to book that brow, bikini, back or leg wax right away. If it’s your first time in, you’ll get 20% off. Or if you’re a seasoned waxer, we invite you to save money by joining Club Orange — our exclusive membership program – and get 20% off your wax of choice every single month.
1. Save time on vacation
When we polled people on what they most want out of their vacation, the unanimous answer across the board was time to relax and unwind. By booking a wax before you depart, you’re setting yourself up for success for both. The more you can take care of your skin before your vacation, the more time you can spend doing the things you really want to do. No more extra moments wasted in the shower while you’re getting ready for the beach or dinner, frantically shaving sun–kissed legs or your face. If you wax before you leave, there’s no need to pack a razor, let alone use one on vacation.
2. Relax more
When it comes to travel, who wants to be worrying about smooth skin and shaving when you’re meant to be relaxing? The point of a vacation is to be carefree and feeling good. When you wax before you leave, you won’t have to worry about when or how often to shave on vacation because you’ll have smooth skin for up to two weeks. Let your days laze into night wiothout rushing off to shave.
3. Slowed hair growth by summer
One of the most amazing benefits of starting a waxing routine is that your hair growth will actually slow down over time. Hair is removed at the root when you wax repeatedly, which disrupts the growth cycle and causes your hair follicles to weaken. As you continue with waxing services, you will be slowing down growth and building longer-lasting smooth skin. Not only will starting your waxing routine before spring break give you smooth skin during your trip; it will set you up for a smoother summer.
4. Boost of confidence
There’s nothing like a fresh wax and smooth, stubble-free skin to give you all the confidence in the world. And nobody knows how to do a better job than our certified Cerologists. Whether it’s your back, bikini, legs or upper lip; you’ll leave your appointment with skin that’s exfoliated, hairless and glowing. It doesn’t matter where you’re travelling or what you’ll be wearing, with a fresh wax you’ll just be excited to show off your beautiful skin.
5. Smooth, silky skin
Not only does waxing remove hair, it gives you smooth, silky skin. You can forget about that awful feeling of stubble one-day post shave and put that razor away for another time because your skin won’t need it when you create a consistent wax routine. Making your appointments consistent will set you up for a smooth spring and summer, with more time in between appointments.
Here are considerations to make before and after you wax
- Make sure to let your hair grow out to at least a quarter- to a half-inch before your appointment. The wax your Cerologist uses will need to grip onto hair to remove it fully from the pore.
- Gently exfoliate the night before your appointment to ensure all dead skin and debris are removed from the pore. This can help make your waxing experience a lot more effective.
- Avoid heavy sun exposure and retinoids before your appointment. We offer Bakuchiol, a plant-based serum that has the same effects as retinol, without negatively impacting your service.
- Remember to moisturize after your appointment.
After your service, wear loose clothing, be gentle with your skin and use after-care products to extend the effects of your service as long as you can. Waxing the City has a variety of products offered in studios that help with exfoliation, moisturization and aftercare.
