Before you book that wax, watch this! Today, we're revealing the absolute must-know rules for safe and effective waxing. We dive into the most critical question: How long should your hair be? (Hint: longer is better, but not too short!) Learn the pre-appointment prep you need to do, and the exact reasons why you might need to reschedule—including skin conditions and being on your cycle. Most importantly, we issue a serious warning about waxing while on Accutane, showing the painful and damaging results of skin lifting. Plus, get the insider tip on avoiding the gym right after a wax and how to ensure you choose a provider who won't leave you burned. Stop making common mistakes and make your next wax your best wax!

00:28.583 --> 00:32.772
[SPEAKER_02]: Macy, Macy Taylor, Estition Apprentice, and Shelby with me today.

00:33.153 --> 00:40.728
[SPEAKER_02]: Shelby airs license cosmologist, and we're gonna get into my favorite topic to talk about, which is waxing.

00:40.748 --> 00:41.610
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a cute story.

00:42.432 --> 00:43.073
[SPEAKER_03]: Really funny.

00:43.153 --> 00:44.556
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh yeah, it's very good.

00:45.338 --> 00:49.647
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, like, Macy has started waxing, and she's been doing full Brazilians.

00:49.627 --> 00:53.192
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was in my room and I got told about it.

00:53.472 --> 00:57.358
[SPEAKER_04]: And I guess she had a new client and she was doing her thing.

00:57.778 --> 01:02.345
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'd hear this out, not too bad, not too bad.

01:02.585 --> 01:04.067
[SPEAKER_04]: And you can hear it all the way into my room.

01:04.428 --> 01:08.974
[SPEAKER_04]: And so that was, I guess, a Macy's client, you know, did okay with her first Brazilian?

01:08.994 --> 01:10.136
[SPEAKER_04]: I would say how they go.

01:10.336 --> 01:18.047
[SPEAKER_01]: No, yeah, she, no, she was just screaming the whole time, but then after I'd like pull it, she'd like scream and she'd be like,

01:18.027 --> 01:20.290
[SPEAKER_01]: And my phone is next one, and it's just like screaming.

01:20.310 --> 01:22.693
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, was it your first solo Brazilian?

01:22.893 --> 01:23.153
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

01:23.834 --> 01:24.535
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.

01:24.995 --> 01:26.657
[SPEAKER_04]: And they both came out just laughing.

01:27.458 --> 01:27.959
[SPEAKER_01]: No, yeah.

01:27.979 --> 01:28.880
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it was a good experience.

01:28.900 --> 01:30.622
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, they're going to think I'm like messing this up.

01:30.782 --> 01:33.385
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, acne isn't just skin deep.

01:33.786 --> 01:36.489
[SPEAKER_04]: It affects your confidence and how you show up every day.

01:36.950 --> 01:40.073
[SPEAKER_04]: Having a pimple is really hard to go out and hang out with your friends.

01:40.814 --> 01:47.342
[SPEAKER_04]: And if your acne is flaring up, it can also attribute to yourself confidence and your perception of yourself.

01:47.322 --> 01:51.207
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's why, at amazingly ageless medsball, we have made our own acne boot camp.

01:51.587 --> 01:58.455
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a results driven program with medical grade treatments like VIPiles, AC dual, and LED light therapy.

01:58.736 --> 02:08.267
[SPEAKER_02]: With personalized skincare coaching, we can take you to the next level in your skincare journey because our clients see real transformations and we love to see you do the same.

02:08.688 --> 02:12.893
[SPEAKER_04]: Take the first step today, call us, make an appointment, and let's get you set up on a program.

02:13.213 --> 02:16.317
[SPEAKER_02]: And start your journey to clear confidence again today.

02:17.528 --> 02:21.292
[SPEAKER_02]: Bacy is learning from the best and so you know, and she's doing phenomenal.

02:21.332 --> 02:22.633
[SPEAKER_02]: So do not be scared to book with her.

02:22.693 --> 02:22.974
[SPEAKER_02]: True.

02:23.935 --> 02:29.941
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're going to get into some of the questions I get asked like when people are booking their appointments more.

02:29.981 --> 02:36.908
[SPEAKER_02]: So then like what they ask during the appointment because by the time we get into it, there's no more questions to ask.

02:36.928 --> 02:37.529
[SPEAKER_02]: We're just doing it.

02:38.590 --> 02:45.257
[SPEAKER_02]: So before you book your appointment, here's some things that are good to know like how far like what you need to have ready before you wax.

02:45.659 --> 02:47.629
[SPEAKER_02]: So, good work.

02:47.670 --> 02:48.695
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, from work.

02:49.962 --> 02:53.661
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's start with the most asked question is hairling.

02:53.725 --> 02:56.009
[SPEAKER_02]: What, like, what kind of hairling do they need?

02:56.590 --> 03:01.439
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Macy, I'm gonna quiz you on this because I want to see how much you know, girlfriend.

03:01.520 --> 03:06.228
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, I mean, I would recommend like four to six weeks hair growth wise, but everybody's different.

03:06.249 --> 03:12.220
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, like, some people will come in, they'll be like, I've been grown up for five weeks and I'm like, well, it's not long enough.

03:12.240 --> 03:16.628
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I can't do it because I don't want to break the hairs or give you ingrowns just because it's not ready.

03:16.608 --> 03:21.620
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I mean, if you can like for it, but it's easier, you know, like the longer the better.

03:21.901 --> 03:29.599
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's your very first wax ever longer the better, but you don't want to have to braid it or anything, so you want to make sure that you don't have to.

03:29.619 --> 03:32.406
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, I'm trying to, yeah, I'm going to wax right through it.

03:32.386 --> 03:40.998
[SPEAKER_02]: I got you, but like, so why say that is because the longer the hair, the easier the wax can get in there and the more it'll grab.

03:41.359 --> 03:49.250
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you have really short hair, those tints that the wax doesn't grab it great, so I'll have to go over a couple times and that's a little bit more, like that's actually a little bit more painful.

03:50.071 --> 04:01.768
[SPEAKER_02]: Whenever it's really long, I can basically get it all out with the first main strips, like I don't limited amount of cleanups.

04:01.748 --> 04:03.170
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't worry about how long it is.

04:03.310 --> 04:03.770
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't care.

04:03.790 --> 04:05.773
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel a lot of hair.

04:05.893 --> 04:07.835
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think I think there's some that no one can be.

04:07.996 --> 04:14.664
[SPEAKER_02]: So I make it a wall of fame Taking it up all you think it's like too long.

04:14.764 --> 04:18.468
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I do have a lot of people like I think they do like no girl There's no such thing as long.

04:18.549 --> 04:19.470
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm still gonna wax it off.

04:19.530 --> 04:20.231
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't care.

04:20.351 --> 04:22.593
[SPEAKER_04]: It can be too short though It can be too short.

04:22.613 --> 04:26.338
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't want to do is too short because it can't grab those hairs and then you're gonna be breaking them off

04:26.318 --> 04:27.520
[SPEAKER_04]: And they're not going to get it.

04:27.800 --> 04:29.063
[SPEAKER_04]: You're not going to get a good wax.

04:29.363 --> 04:29.904
[SPEAKER_02]: It'll be a lot.

04:29.944 --> 04:31.987
[SPEAKER_02]: It'll be a little more painful or it'll break the hairs.

04:32.108 --> 04:34.031
[SPEAKER_02]: And that can cause cystic ingrowns.

04:34.091 --> 04:34.892
[SPEAKER_02]: And we do not want to do that.

04:34.912 --> 04:41.984
[SPEAKER_02]: So if I ever turn you away, it's for your own benefit and your own health honestly, because those are not good.

04:43.266 --> 04:48.856
[SPEAKER_02]: Next is, let's go with skin conditions.

04:48.876 --> 04:50.959
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, if you have any skin conditions,

04:51.395 --> 05:01.240
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't think I really have talked about a whole lot of this with my C yet, but if you put daylight down there and you see it's like oozy or green, it's no go.

05:01.280 --> 05:06.653
[SPEAKER_02]: So let me know if you have anything we're going on, you're like, is this okay?

05:06.934 --> 05:08.458
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll look at it, but

05:09.130 --> 05:11.294
[SPEAKER_02]: There are things I have to turn you away for.

05:11.335 --> 05:11.916
[SPEAKER_02]: I cannot.

05:12.397 --> 05:23.179
[SPEAKER_04]: And some of that is, you know, even like, little source, you know, a little herpy source, you know, it's not embarrassing or anything, but if you go ahead and wait for it, you'll spread it.

05:23.680 --> 05:27.287
[SPEAKER_04]: And so we need to, you know, take some action and get that cleared up before you come in.

05:27.327 --> 05:28.209
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not embarrassing.

05:28.229 --> 05:29.011
[SPEAKER_02]: Just talk to us about it.

05:29.091 --> 05:30.193
[SPEAKER_02]: We know we've seen everything.

05:30.173 --> 05:49.988
[SPEAKER_04]: It does not feel good if that if you do have those little sources, it does hurt and sometimes some of those can be ingrowned and well waxed right over ingrowns yeah and so just wax over ingrowns or if we have to extract them why oh yeah during the treatment you know no big deal we love a good ingrown no I love like boxing over them and just like saying it come out.

05:50.035 --> 05:54.084
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the he or the wax actually helps pop out in grounds and then the exfoliation of it.

05:54.425 --> 05:56.710
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you do have in grounds, it actually really does help.

05:57.632 --> 06:04.247
[SPEAKER_02]: Men waxing on your menstrual cycle, I have a lot of clients that call in and ask about this.

06:04.396 --> 06:08.963
[SPEAKER_02]: I will wax you, I'm not going to turn you away just because you're on your period.

06:09.344 --> 06:09.905
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't care.

06:09.945 --> 06:14.051
[SPEAKER_02]: The thing is, though, is that you're made a lot more sensitive.

06:14.492 --> 06:17.216
[SPEAKER_02]: So that is a personal preference for you, not for me.

06:17.256 --> 06:27.091
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're worried about it hurting, I would, if it's your first one, I always tell me, because it is a lot more sensitive, and you're like, that's not the experience I want to give you for you.

06:27.111 --> 06:30.977
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I make your first wax, the best experience possible.

06:31.379 --> 06:32.200
[SPEAKER_02]: It's so just macy.

06:32.701 --> 06:33.563
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

06:33.583 --> 06:35.746
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, she does everything I do, so she's got you.

06:37.469 --> 06:49.028
[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't care as long as you have a tampon or cup, like, don't come in with a pad or free-flowing, I'm not going to do, sorry, that's what I'm talking about.

06:49.048 --> 06:55.699
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, they wax isn't going to grab, and so you're not just that it's unsanitary, but the wax isn't going to grab, you're not going to get a good wax.

06:55.679 --> 06:59.206
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'll move around tampon in the cup, like we got you girl.

06:59.226 --> 07:06.160
[SPEAKER_02]: I have so many that do come in, but I do have several that reschedule because they've done it before and I am a lot more sensitive.

07:06.180 --> 07:10.349
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's a personal preference on you, what you feel like you can handle.

07:11.471 --> 07:15.038
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, what's another good one.

07:15.018 --> 07:16.381
[SPEAKER_02]: medications.

07:16.982 --> 07:17.223
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

07:17.764 --> 07:21.092
[SPEAKER_04]: A lot of times the antibiotics, different things will make your skin a lot more sensitive.

07:21.693 --> 07:27.025
[SPEAKER_04]: So make sure that you, you know, have finished that cycle and then come in and do your waxing.

07:27.426 --> 07:30.613
[SPEAKER_04]: And so that way it's, you know, we're not pulling skin or anything else along with that.

07:30.644 --> 07:36.290
[SPEAKER_02]: If you are someone who takes acutane for acne, it doesn't just affect the skin on your face.

07:36.751 --> 07:41.016
[SPEAKER_02]: It affects all of your skin and you will be more prone to lifting.

07:41.957 --> 07:48.664
[SPEAKER_02]: And so if you take acutane, even though you're getting a wax on your form, I mean, you're taking acutane and I'm not going to wax you.

07:49.646 --> 07:53.530
[SPEAKER_02]: Just because essentially, if Chris and what is lifting skin,

07:53.510 --> 08:23.415
[SPEAKER_04]: lift is you're just healing skin office like skin burn and it's not going to feel good if you have lifted skin down in that area yeah and so just wait till after you get done with your acne cycle give it six months and then come back in and that's you I meant to ask Macy I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm a waxing that wasn't my bad I don't know what that's you like I always teach me we love so much so much like you know we could be twins so sorry that was meant to go towards

08:23.395 --> 08:24.294
[SPEAKER_02]: um

08:24.762 --> 08:38.000
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you ever seen the, like so inside the salon, I've actually witnessed someone lie to their provider about being on acutane and seeing what happens to their eyebrows whenever they do it.

08:38.020 --> 08:39.963
[SPEAKER_00]: Do we get their face waxed?

08:39.983 --> 08:44.169
[SPEAKER_00]: It literally, I mean, I don't even know how to describe it.

08:44.329 --> 08:46.192
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it looks like a third degree birth.

08:46.432 --> 08:46.612
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

08:47.033 --> 08:50.778
[SPEAKER_02]: My sister, I can tell the story because she's my sister, it's very sensitive.

08:51.559 --> 08:53.342
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know why, but Chris, I'm all left for every time.

08:53.482 --> 08:54.263
[SPEAKER_04]: I do.

08:54.243 --> 09:05.243
[SPEAKER_04]: every time and then that's when you get that little scab on your brows or on your upper lip and then when you when your skin lifts a lot of times they'll have to hyperpigmentate.

09:05.564 --> 09:17.145
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so you know I've seen I've even seen that on you know the Brazilian areas if you pull skin or they've been from somewhere else and they've gotten waxed too close together or they haven't let the hair grow out long enough and

09:17.125 --> 09:26.698
[SPEAKER_02]: It will cause the skin to hyperpigmentation than you just you have, which is also why I say whoever you go to, if the wax feels like it's burning you, it's burning you.

09:28.180 --> 09:42.660
[SPEAKER_02]: We've been over the difference between hardened soft wax, but like hard wax, it's not supposed to adhere to the skin, but if your wax is too hot, like if your provider's wax is too hot, it will adhere to the skin, and then it'll take the skin with it.

09:42.640 --> 09:48.917
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so if you ever feel like whoever's waxing you, like if the wax is burning you, it's burning you.

09:49.198 --> 09:49.619
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

09:49.639 --> 09:52.326
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so make sure you let us know if it feels like that.

09:52.386 --> 09:53.509
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's different for everyone.

09:53.529 --> 09:58.202
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think I've ever seen skin lift on like the legs, but I've also seen a lot of the arms.

09:58.182 --> 10:04.511
[SPEAKER_04]: So you just have to be really careful and know you're providing it.

10:04.531 --> 10:05.292
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't do it.

10:05.312 --> 10:08.877
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw the aftermath like they've came in and I'm like, Oh, what happened here?

10:08.897 --> 10:09.978
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, oh, I don't know.

10:09.998 --> 10:11.620
[SPEAKER_02]: It happened after my last wax.

10:11.981 --> 10:12.101
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

10:12.281 --> 10:13.082
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, ooh.

10:13.303 --> 10:18.730
[SPEAKER_04]: And so just know that Lena is training Georgia and Macy on all the way to do it properly.

10:19.070 --> 10:20.172
[SPEAKER_02]: Macy is doing amazing.

10:20.392 --> 10:21.454
[SPEAKER_02]: Macy's doing amazing.

10:21.474 --> 10:23.336
[SPEAKER_04]: She's not just starting to want everything now.

10:23.456 --> 10:24.778
[SPEAKER_04]: So she is ready to rock and roll.

10:24.918 --> 10:27.582
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

10:27.764 --> 10:41.919
[SPEAKER_01]: And I always feel bad for people that have like a bad first experience because I have one of Lena's clients that she used to have now and like she didn't want to wax again because of how about her first experience was and she still has like bumps like from it.

10:42.160 --> 10:42.361
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

10:42.421 --> 10:43.343
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah.

10:43.323 --> 10:48.791
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, I've had several that did not have a great experience first time, did not want to get waxed ever again.

10:48.811 --> 10:50.273
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, girl, let's just try it.
