Waxing 101: What to Expect and How to Prepare

Waxing

Waxing can be intimidating if you’ve never tried it; but it doesn’t have to be. At Facials by Tonya in Salado, TX, first-time clients find a calm, professional environment where every step is explained and every session is handled with care.

Why Choose Waxing Over Shaving?

Shaving only cuts hair at the surface, which means stubble reappears quickly. Waxing, on the other hand, removes hair from the root, so you enjoy:

  • Smoother skin that lasts for weeks
  • Slower, finer regrowth over time
  • Fewer ingrown hairs (when combined with proper care)

Waxing Services Offered

Tonya uses hygienic tools and high-quality wax for the following areas:

  • Brows
  • Upper lip and chin
  • Underarms
  • Arms and legs
  • Bikini area

Her gentle, precise approach makes even the most sensitive areas manageable.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

  1. Pre-Wax Chat
    Tonya will ask about your skin type, sensitivities, and previous waxing or hair removal experiences to ensure a comfortable session.
  2. Skin Prep
    She’ll cleanse and prep the area to reduce irritation and help the wax adhere properly.
  3. Waxing Process
    Using smooth, controlled techniques, Tonya applies wax in sections and removes hair quickly with minimal discomfort.
  4. Soothing Aftercare
    A calming product is applied to reduce redness and keep skin feeling comfortable.

How to Prepare for the Best Results

  • Let your hair grow to about 1/4 inch (roughly the length of a grain of rice)
  • Exfoliate lightly the day before your appointment to prevent ingrown hairs
  • Skip lotions, oils, or deodorants on the day of your appointment
  • Avoid tanning 24–48 hours before waxing to reduce sensitivity

Aftercare Tips

  • Avoid hot showers, pools, or saunas for 24 hours
  • Wear loose clothing to let your skin breathe
  • Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer
  • Don’t pick at bumps; ask Tonya about safe options if irritation occurs

Why Clients Trust Tonya

With a background in both healthcare and skincare, Tonya brings a clinical understanding to every service she provides. Her friendly, professional demeanor ensures that every waxing experience is thorough, respectful, and low-stress, even for first-timers.
