So, you finally booked that full body wax (go you!). Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, there’s always that last-minute panic. Wait, should I trim? Can I work out after? What if I forget to exfoliate?
Girl, relax—we’ve got you.
At Glaminator Beauty Bar in Wayne, NJ, we’ve waxed clients from Clifton to Totowa, and trust us, these questions come up all the time. So today, we’re spilling the tea on how to prep your skin (and your mindset) for your smoothest wax ever—without the stress.
First Things First: Don’t Shave!
We know, it’s tempting. That little voice in your head says, “Just a quick touch-up…” But resist! We need your hair to be about ¼ inch long—think a grain of rice. That’s the sweet spot for the wax to grip and do its thing.
Clients from Little Falls who skip the shave usually have a way better experience—less tugging, more satisfying results.
Exfoliate, But Gently
The day before your appointment, use a light scrub or dry brush to buff away dead skin. It’s like rolling out a welcome mat for the wax. But don’t go overboard—this isn’t the time to channel your inner loofah warrior.
Bonus: consistent exfoliation helps prevent ingrown hairs (we’ll talk more about that in the next blog).
Skip the Lotion, Oil, or Tan
On waxing day, show up fresh-faced (well, fresh-legged, fresh-everything). Lotions, body oils, and self-tanners can interfere with the wax and leave residue. Clean, dry skin = a clean, quick pull.
Pro tip from our Woodland Park regulars: if you tend to get nervous sweats before your appointment (no judgment—we get it!), wear loose, breathable clothes and arrive a few minutes early to chill out in our super cute waiting area.
Time Your Wax Right
Got a beach day planned? Wedding in Clifton? A romantic date night in Wayne?
Try to book your full body wax at least 2–3 days in advance. That gives your skin time to calm down, especially if you’re doing a Brazilian or underarms.
Also: maybe skip that intense spin class or hot yoga for 24 hours after. Trust us—sweat + freshly waxed skin is not the vibe.
You’re Gonna Feel Amazing—We Promise
Prepping right makes all the difference. And once it’s over? You’ll feel like a brand new woman. Silky smooth. Confidence boosted. Razor nowhere in sight.
