Eyebrow waxing aftercare

After eyebrow waxing, do nothing harsh to the skin for 24 hours. The wax removes hair and also lifts the top layer of dead skin. Makeup, retinol, glycolic acid, steam, and chlorinated water on that day are what turn a $13 brow into a red patch.

Eyebrow waxing: hair removed from the brow bone and under the brow with warm wax so the shape stays about 3 to 4 weeks. At Executive Nails Spa West University the eyebrow service is $13.

This is for guests adding waxing to a nail visit in West University. It is not treatment for a rash. If skin is broken after waxing, keep it clean and contact a clinician if it spreads.

Prices with a plus sign vary with hair density and the time on the chair. The same numbers are on the menu.

24-hour checklist

• Skip brow makeup, self-tanner, and fragrance on the waxed skin until the next day.
• Pause retinoids and acids on that skin for a few days. If you use a prescription, follow the prescriber, not a salon blog.
• No hot yoga, sauna, or swimming for 24 hours.
• Do not pick little dots of irritation. Picking is how a mark lasts two weeks.
• Book the next brow visit in 3 to 4 weeks if you want the same shape.

The American Academy of Dermatology advises daily sunscreen on the face. After the first day, sunscreen on the brow bone matters because waxed skin has less of its dry outer layer.

FAQ: eyebrow waxing

What should I do after eyebrow waxing?
Leave the skin alone for 24 hours. Skip retinol, acids, makeup on the brow bone, hot yoga, and pools. If the skin is pink, a plain fragrance-free moisturizer is enough. Eyebrow waxing at this salon is $13.

How long does eyebrow waxing last?
Most guests repeat eyebrow waxing in about 3 to 4 weeks. Hair growth varies. Booking the next visit before you leave keeps the shape from going sparse in one tail and full in the other.

What else can be waxed at the same visit?
Lip is $10, chin is $13+, sideburns are $17+, and full face is $45+. Underarm is $27+, half arm $32+, full arm $52+, half legs $42+, full legs $62+, bikini $50+, and Brazilian $65+. A plus sign means the total can rise with density and time.

Who should not wax that day?
Skip waxing on broken skin, a sunburn, or the same area you treated with a strong retinoid in the last several days. Tell the technician about Accutane history or any prescribed skin medicine before the wax is applied.
