What to do before the beautician arrives, what happens during the appointment, and the aftercare that decides whether you get bumps.
A home waxing appointment is not a salon appointment moved indoors — a few things genuinely work differently. Here is the whole thing, start to finish.
Before the appointment
Let it grow. Hair needs to be about a quarter of an inch — roughly two weeks of growth. Shorter than that and the wax has nothing to grip, which means repeated passes over the same skin. This is the single most common reason a session goes badly.
Do not exfoliate that day. Two days before is ideal. The same morning leaves the skin already tender.
Shower first, moisturise after. Clean, dry skin holds wax properly. Lotion on the skin stops it working.
Clear a space. A bed or a sofa with a towel over it is all that is needed. The beautician brings a mat and fresh linen if you would rather not use your own.
During
Expect the beautician to test the wax temperature on her own wrist first, open a sealed tin in front of you, and use a fresh spatula for each pass — no double-dipping, ever. If any of that does not happen, say so.
Timing is roughly: underarms 15 minutes, half legs 25, full arms 30, full legs 40, full body 75 to 90.
You can ask for a female beautician for any service, and that is guaranteed rather than requested for bikini waxing.
Afterwards
The first 24 hours matter most. No hot showers, no gym, no swimming pool, no sun. Heat and friction on freshly waxed skin is what turns it into bumps.
No perfumed products. The soothing gel applied at the end is enough. Save the scented lotion for tomorrow.
Exfoliate from day three. Gently, twice a week. This is what prevents ingrown hairs, and it is the step almost everybody skips.
When to book the next one
Four to six weeks. Waxing on a cycle is easier every time — the hair comes back finer and the sessions get shorter. Waxing once a summer means starting from the beginning each year.
Book a first appointment across Chandigarh, Panchkula, Mohali or Kalka and tell us at booking that it is your first; the beautician will plan for the extra time.
