Waxing in Bangkok : complete guide for rookie to expert :)
Whether you are a regular wax salon client or a rookie in the matter, there are always questions and important things to know about it. From the basics requirements, the best practices to the products, let’s throw some light on the waxing experience.
Why choosing waxing over an other method for your hair removal?
When you are opting for waxing, the hairs will be removed from the roots. Therefore it is definitely the best choice to remove hairs with immediate results for people who desire to be hair free. The results last longer than shaving, and the skin will end much softer.
If the process is done correctly, with the right products and the experience of the technician, your experience should be ‘relatively’ pain free.
The cost of the session remains affordable and the results last quite long if we compare with shaving. And after regular sessions to your salon, your hairs will become finer and thinner.
When should i book my appointment?
the rule is commonly accepted that the best time for waxing is when your hairs are as long as a rice grain. Too short and the wax won’t grip well to the hair properly. Of course, waiting for your hairs to be that long can be frustrating and you can feel a little hairy during a week or two. But it really worth the wait.
One thing to avoid is to use your razor between two sessions because you can’t wait for your next appointment. Ok maybe you will feel better after shaving, but keep in mind that you will have to repeat the operation very soon, a few days only. Also you’ re taking the risk to develop more ingrown hairs because you are lopping the hair at the surface. When it will grow again, it will easily get caught under the skin cell.
On the contrary, waxing removes the hair at the root. When it will regrow, the tip of the hair is naturally tapered so it will grow softer than before, and by the number the hairs will look less noticeable.
Does waxing hurts?
It is the main concern and the main fear for most of the people who get in the salon and try wax for the first time.
Let’s say it, waxing can hurt a little. But the good thing is that it is for less than a second. The pain sensation is so short that you don’t even have the time to say ‘o’uch.. that the sensation already fades. And remember that the more you wax, the less painful it will be. A your hairs are getting finer and finer, they will be easier to wax. Nowadays, thanks to the know-how of the technicians and to the quality of the products, the process is relatively pain free.
The choice of the type of wax (hard wax, strip wax) by the technician, according to the area she needs to remove will also make all the difference.
This is why it is still recommended to wax at the salon instead than at home. Even though now you can find good products to make it yourself. there is always some skills from the technician that you don’t necessarily master.
Indeed it is very important to use the correct wax in some sensitive areas, and to do it the right way if you don’t want to end in pain and with a messy result.
You can experience some redness after session, for a few hours to 1 or 2 days. It is totally normal. To avoid it at the maximum the technician apply on your skin, before and after the removal, oil and cream to help your skin recovers from it.
Nevertheless it is recommended to avoid during a couple of days, pool swimming and sweating workouts. This time is needed to let your follicles close again and the skin to chill a while.
What are the best brands for waxing?
Whether you decide to do it at home or in the salon, don’t forget that all wax are not created equal.
If you feel confident for it and opt to make it yourself at home, the are some pretty decent kits from the brands Cirepil, Wakse, or Parissa. Good quality wax and with a little training and after a few time, you will be able to wax in most of your accessible areas. For bikini zone or sensitive areas such as underarms we don’t recommend it though.
For a waxing session in salon, thanks to our many years of experience, we recommend Caronlab and Lycon. It all depends on the area treated. Our technicians at Niche Salon Bangkok know exactly what type of wax to apply. The composition of those wax make the experience the less painful possible, with a good grip, and leaving the skin very soft afterwards.
What should i do before and after waxing ?
First of all, do not shave! it will ruin all the process for the next waxing, making the experience more painful, leaving your hairs bigger at the regrowth and multiplying the ingrown ones.
Moisturize and exfoliate as often as possible.
Use sunscreen after the session, to protect your skin.
Before a face waxing, avoid Retinol. It is so pure your skin will be even more sensitive and will boost redness.
Then finally schedule your appointment. Timing is everything. Unfortunately, once again we are not all created equal for this too. Some of us will have to go back to it every 3 weeks, when others can wait till 5 weeks easy.
Brazilian, Bikini, Hollywood, what about waxing down there?
I know the situation can easily become awkward when it is time for a bikini waxing. But keep in mind one thing. The technician has maybe saw half a dozen of it before your appointment on that day. So no need to be shy or else. Her only concern after all will be to remove all your hairs without letting you the time to scream, and leaving your skin as smooth as a baby bum.
So when it is time to wax down there, here comes the question, for what style should go for? Brazilian, Hollywood, Bikini, Extended Bikini, there are plethora.
If you are not used about it yet, the best is to ask your specialist to show you some schema in order to give you an idea of the different possibilities. Then it is your time to decide. Go step by step or be bold right away. It is your choice and personality who will talk.
Here a glimpse of the possibilities offer to you.
