The Art of Waxing at Nail Bar Wayne: Your Comprehensive Guide

For those who seek to achieve rather smooth and hair-less skin, hair removing waxing is becoming the most popularizing personal grooming method. Quite a few of our customers, however, have their own personal reasons for bearing the pain of hair removal and waxing. At Nail Bar Wayne, we feel honored to offer quality waxing services in a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. This article features the basic aspects of waxing such as its various forms, its advantages as well as its steps, aftercare, and oh, what makes Nail Bar Wayne one of the best saloons for all your waxing procedures. 

What is Waxing?


Waxing is a technique for hair removal in which a sticky material (wax) is put on the surface of the skin and then pulled off together with the hairs from the root. This method does not just take hair out from the surface; it also further reduces the rate of hair growth, which results in smoother skin days after hair is shaved.


Types of Waxing


With waxing, there are a few types that suit particular parts of the body and certain hair sizes.


  • Soft Wax: This kind of wax is put on in a thin layer and then ripped off with paper or cloth strips. It is ideal for use on larger body parts such as arms or legs.


  • Hard Wax: Hard wax has a wax and does still have attachment to the skin. It is melted and then applied hot and once it is cooled you don’t need strips to remove it. Hard wax is perfect for bikini lines and underarm areas because it hurts less.


  • Sugar Waxing: This is another method of waxing which is much less traditional in which sugar, lemon juice and water mixtures are used. It is quite gentle on the skin and hypoallergenic that’s safe for every skin type.


 Areas for Waxing 


 Waxing services for different body areas can be found at Nail Bar Wayne’s: 


  • Facial waxing: Eyebrow waxing, trimming and chin waxing are among the services offered. Such services emphasize facial structures and eliminate hair. 


  • Body waxing: Leg waxing (both whole and half), arm, back and chest wax services provide smooth skin for many parts of the body. 


  • Bikini waxing: Waxing in this style can be minimal, i.e. bikini line or Brazilian waxes, which extend to the entire area around the bikini. 


  • Underarm waxing: Waxing services for underarms make them smooth, soft and hair free and so this service is ideal for persons who do not want to shave.

The Advantages of Waxing 


Lasting Effects 


If there is one particular area where waxing is unparalleled, it is the durability of its results. After waxing, hair is removed from the roots, thus ensuring a smoother skin surface for several weeks as compared with shaving that can only last a few days. Results can last anywhere from three to six weeks depending on the individual’s hair growth rate. 


Decreased Hair Renewal 


As many people customize the procedure of waxing, several individuals tend to observe a pattern in which their hair becomes thinner and less dense with time. This comes from the fact that consistent heavy-duty waxing weakens the hair follicles, hence the aggressive resturation does not occur. 


Aesthetic 


Waxing does not only get rid of unwanted hairs as it also works on the skin where dead skin cells are removed, which brings about an exfoliating effect on the area. It can also reduce the occurrence of ingrown hairs if applied in the correct manner which is often controlling the direction of hair regrowth. 


Convenient 


Even though waxing can take noticeably longer than shaving, the maintenance that it requires on average is below the average of a normal hair removal procedure in the long run. This may be very useful for individuals who have numerous commitments on their calendars. 


Reduced Cuts and Nicks 


Compared to shaving which is known to cause cuts and nicks, waxing is considerably safer for hair removal. Even when a session is done in a salon, the chances of suffering an injury are minimal if the process is done correctly. 

The Waxing Process at Nail Bar Wayne


Pre-Wax Consultation


At our salon, Nail Bar Wayne, we put emphasis on communication. Before a service begins, a specialist is going to have a discussion with you about your preferences, concerns – particular circumstances that you have. Your skin and hair type will also identify what waxing method is more suitable for you.


Preparing for Waxing


Before one begins the waxing process, the area to be waxed or has hair follicles will be cleaned to get rid of any oil, dirt, or lotions present. This is to help the wax stick properly onto the hair. If you are having a bikini wax, you may have the option of having disposable undergarments for comfort purposes.


The Waxing Process


  • Application: A cosmetologist is going to heat wax to the necessary degree and then place it on the area where the hair is to be taken out this time in the direction of the hair follicles. With regard to soft wax, it is first covered by cloth or paper and pressed down.


  • Removal: After the wax has set, the specialist will quickly remove the wax or strip in the opposite direction of hair growth. Hair will have been caused to a great extent. Although this causes a little discomfort, it subsides quickly.


  • Post-Care: As a last step of the waxing procedure, theel Technicians can put some sort of soothing lotion or aloe vera gel on the skin to help with the redness and irritation caused by the waxing procedure. 


Duration of the Service


The waxing service duration depends on an area that is being waxed. For instance, it may take about 15 to 30 minutes to perform facial waxing whereas a full leg wax may take 30 to 60 minutes. An estimation will be given by one of our technicians at the time of the consultation. 

Post Waxing Aftercare Instructions


Keep Away from the Heat


After wax hair removal, do not walk into hot water for 24 hours. Therefore, people should not go into steam, the sauna or a steam bath for all these are watery in nature and can firsthand exceedingly water bath on the body to sections whereby the wax has just removed hair follicles. This in essence means un necessary irritation which can lead to inflammation.


Avoid After Waxing Sun Exposure


Please remember to shield the skin from too much sun for at least 24 hours post waxing. Intense UV rays are known to bother the skin and can even cause redness, inflammation and ultimately sunburn in extreme cases.


Hydrate the Skin


After waxing, the skin should be hydrated. Use a soft and scent free moisturizer for the skin so that its inflammation causing dryness or chaffing.


Loose Clothes


Wear loose clothing for at least one day after waxing. This will avoid pressure on the areas waxed and even potential friction which can lead to further irritation.


Gentle Scrub


Normally areas which have been waxed should be left untouched but after three days it would be alright to gently scrub that area so that any possible ingrown hair is eradicated. Alternatively a very soft cloth can be used so that the likelihood of causing any abrasions from rough scrubs is diminished.


Avoid Barriers


After ripping out a waxed area of hair, one should ideally not use retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids or too much cosmetics for a week. These are sensitive areas after waxing. 

Concerns Raised by the Clients While Waxing 


Pain Level 


The amount of pain or discomfort experienced during performing waxing procedures is much dependent on different areas being waxed as well as the tolerance level of pain of an individual. It has been observed that the most uncomfortable session will be the first one. However, many people report pain lessening further when they undergo waxing treatments more due to hair being finer. 


Ingrown Hairs


Wear can inactive and ineffective hairs at times that appear above the skin level while waxing. Ingrown hairs may occur, especially in the case where the care that should be taken after the procedure is not observed. By practicing these methods, the chances of getting ingrown can be lowered. Regular exfoliation, clarifying and nourishing the skin as well, can decrease the risk of such hairs. What you should avoid is picking at the hair. If exposed through the skin covering the hair root, it is best to cover the site with a warm compress. 


Skin Sensitivity 


There are some areas which are much sensitive. Therefore, in some individuals, this procedure has been reported to cause redness or swelling of any small area most commonly seen in sensitive areas. For most people, this tends to go away after a few hours but quite easily. The application of heat and pressure is then unnecessary for the thin layer since most of the time, topical creams are used to heal the affected area. Some creams such as aloe vera lotion tend to cool the surface area which gives a better feeling.

Regular Waxing Benefits


Waxing is an enhanced beauty procedure that improves an individual’s appearance, but it is not limited to that as specific benefits for skin also come along from waxing. This article will further explain the various positive impacts that one can experience from incorporating regular waxing into their self-care routine and how it can benefit not just the appearance but one’s health as well.


1. Results that Last Longer


One of the main benefits of getting regular waxing done is that it is usually more effective than getting a shave. Waxing involves pulling out hair from its roots which means that it will take a considerably long time for the hair to grow back. In general, the clients are able to go for about three to six weeks with smooth skin after a waxing appointment, dependent on their hair cycles13. Due to this factor, continuously receiving treatment would cause hair to regrow slower with each treatment and smoother skin for more extended periods. 


2. Over time, hair growth gets reduced


This gets rid of the thicker and coarser hair that replaced the regular hair when the person was consistent with the wax. These consistent treatments are known to weaken the follicles that cause the hair to grow back finer and sparser12. Meaning not only would the condition of achieving smooth skin for extended periods change, but it would also make it easier to repeat the process to remove hair and through lesser pain thanks to these treatment benefits.


3. Exfoliation Benefits 


Waxing may also be considered an exfoliation technique because when applying and pulling off wax, with the unwanted hair, dead skin cells are also removed 45. A wax’s process can cause the skin to become softer and smoother. Regular waxing will help improve skin texture and reduce the chances of clogged pores and breakouts caused by ingrown hairs. 


4. Prevention of Ingrown Hairs 


Waxing is better than shaving because one of the reasons that ingrown hairs are so common with shaving is because the hair is cut at surface level. It also reduces the chances of ingrown hairs46. When ingrown hair is removed through waxing, they are less frequent and when they do occur, they do not stay for long periods as a regular cycle of hair growth is maintained.


5. Reduced Skin Irritation 


Cutting the hair at surface levels, such as through shaving on a day-to-day basis, leads to other skin irritations which include razor skin burns, cuts and nicks ot soap irritation38. Waxing therefore prevents chances of lol. Preventing some redness due to the cutting blades by not using them.


6. Time Efficiency Perspective


Although some may consider waxing as a very tedious activity, with a little bit of practice it can be done quite effectively. Generally speaking, waxing can be completed somewhere between thirty minutes to one hour, depending upon the area being treated4. On the flip side, certain areas of the body require shaving on multiple days in a week or almost on a daily basis. By opting for waxing every couple of weeks, patients negate the need for daily shaving which was previously the case.


7. Cost-Effectiveness Perspective


It does seem true that the initial expenditure on professional waxing appears to be a lot higher than the cost of purchasing razors and shaving creams, in the long term, it’s apparent that the cost of professional waxing will prove to be more economical. As maintenance with hair removal products becomes less frequent, many people realize that they are actually spending less on hair removal overall35.


8. Increase in Polyphonic Perspectives


Looking good through the use of regular waxing is not the only feature in this activity, it also enhances one’s attributes such as self esteem & confidence. Individuals tend to feel more at ease and confident whenever they have toned and une pocked skin and therefore undergo regular waxing sessions2. This enhancement of confidence can have beneficial effects in different realms of life such as in social life and in romantic relationships as well.


9. Variability in the Frequency of Hair Removal


One of the biggest waxing advantages is the choice of hair removal area; whether it’s a full Brazilian, inner thighs, or simply a few stray brow hairs15. With every visit one can change their appearance by trying out different styles and not having to worry about something irreversible, like laser hair removal methods.


10. Lack of the Need to Do the Procedures at Home


At-home waxing kits are offered, but done by professionals who offer less pain4 associated with the procedures and less skin irritation. A qualified esthetician will know the best technique for applying wax and how to reduce the pain during the process.
