PREPARATION FOR ALL BODY WAXING

If time allows please exfoliate, lightly, 24 hours before coming.  This helps ward off ingrown hairs and speeds up your waxing visit. 

Please DO NOT tan 24 hours BEFORE or AFTER  your appointment.  This may cause skin to lift (come off). 

Due to a new wax used at The Naked Monkey we are able to wax clients using topical retinoids, Retin A, Accutane, or certain antibiotics.  Please make us aware if you are using any of these products before we wax you. 

Waxing a week before menstrual cycle or during pregnancy may be more painful.

Please avoid ibuprofen while waxing.  This may cause your skin to bruise easier.

FIRST TIME WAXERS:

If you are nervous about your waxing visit, rest assured we have SEEN it all.     WE ARE NOT HERE TO JUDGE, WE ARE HERE TO WAX!  We want your visit to be as comfortable as possible. It is not necessary, but for very sensitive people, we do carry a topical numbing cream, (No Scream Cream), that you may purchase prior to your first visit. It should be applied 35-45 minutes prior to your visit, so make sure you purchase it the day before. 

Also, if your hair is extremely long, you may want to trim it to approximately, 1/4 of an inch. If you are not comfortable with trimming, we can do it here for a small additional fee. However, if you do decide to trim yourself please use caution. Please do not trim with clippers. Try using scissors. It is just too easy to take off too much hair with the clippers!

Any discomfort is brief, and totally worth the end result.  Remember too, if you wax consistently (every 4-6 weeks) the hair growth is reduced, the hair texture becomes finer and softer and each waxing session gets easier and easier.

Weddings/Vacations/Special Events

If at all possible, you should wax 3 times before your event.  This allows us to analyze your skin and if we have to make adjustments with the wax.

Health Concerns

NO DOUBLE DIPPING PLEASE

Please know that the staff at the Monkey does NOT DOUBLE DIP when performing waxing services. Even though many of our waxes claim to be antibacterial / antimicrobial (meaning nothing can grow in the wax) we don't leave anything to chance. A new disposable spatula is used each and every time more wax is needed.

STD'S

Waxing cannot be done if you are in the midst of an outbreak. We will not wax over "suspicious" looking skin reactions. This is for your protection as well as that of the Monkey staff. Please note that waxing may "trigger" an outbreak if you already have an STD.

CLIENT WAXING AFTER CARE

Due to waxed hair growing in finer, the client must exfoliate the waxed areas 2 to 3 times per week.  The Ultimate Buffing Cloth is perfect for this.  It is antimicrobial and large enough to exfoliate your back.

Between apppointments use Finipil daily on all waxed areas.  This helps with ingrown hairs and retards their growth.  Keep using daily until you next appointment.

No shaving between appointments.

When underarms are waxed,  DO NOT use deodorant for 24 hours. 

If you have ANY reactions, please call us immediately (317.566.2929).  We have over 20 DIFFERENT waxes and can find one that works best for you.

Thank you for your business.  We look forward to seeing you at your next appointment.
