Pre-care

• Hair is at least half of the fingertip's length.

• At least 2 weeks no shaving (easier to remove so we don't go over several times). The hair needs to be long enough to remove.

• No caffeine earlier (reduce sensitivity)

• Not too close to your period (reduce sensitivity)

• NO EXFOLIATE on the same day. It's better to do it a day before.

• Showering or cleaning your wax areas reduces the risk of infection.

• Coming when you're in period is fine as long as you wear a clean tampon. 

• Avoid applying greasy products to your skin beforehand, as this will make it harder for the wax to stick.

Physical Preparation

• Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage.

• Shower: Take a warm shower to loosen your muscles, improve circulation, and remove any lotions or oils that could interfere with the massage.

• Wear Comfortable Clothing: Choose loose-fitting clothing that will make it easy to undress and move around during the massage.

• Light Meal: Avoid heavy meals right before your appointment, as this can lead to discomfort and bloating.

• Avoid Sunburn: Do not get a sunburn before your massage, as this can make the session painful.

• Remove Jewelry: Take off necklaces, bracelets, and long earrings, as you will need to remove all jewelry for the massage.

Mental & Informational Preparation

• Arrive Early: Arriving a few minutes before your scheduled time allows you to relax and fill out intake forms without rushing.

• Communicate: Inform your therapist about any injuries, open wounds, bruises, or areas of pain. Also, let them know your goals for the session, such as pain relief or general relaxation.

• Relax: Try to get into a calm and peaceful state of mind before your appointment.

Things to Avoid

• Alcohol and Caffeine: Avoid alcohol and caffeine before your massage, as they can have a dehydrating effect.

• Large Meals: A large meal before a massage can make you feel sluggish and uncomfortable.

• Topical Products: Avoid applying lotions or topical medications to your skin before the massage, as they can interfere with the therapist's ability to work on your muscles.
