When it comes to waxing, staying consistent with your routine is what will deliver the best results. While it may seem like a good idea to only book an appointment right before an important event, establishing a regular waxing routine helps keep your skin glowing all summer long. Staying consistent doesn’t have to be complicated. With a little planning, you can maintain your results and stay on schedule. Here are a few ways to stay on top of your routine.
Book Your Next Appointment Before You Leave
One of the easiest ways to ensure you stay on schedule is to book your next appointment before you leave. This is true for a few reasons:
- If you’ve ever been unsure about when to book and accidentally waited too long or not long enough, your specialist will be able to recommend when to rebook your appointment for the best possible outcome, based not only on your hair type but also on the service you’re booking.
- Summer is one of our busiest times of the year, and appointments fill up quickly. Booking before you leave ensures you will get an appointment when you need it.
- With busy schedules and fun summer plans, remembering to rebook your appointment can slip through the cracks. Scheduling your next wax before you walk out the door ensures it’s set before other plans come up.
Don’t Wait Until You Have Plans
While it may seem like a good idea to wait until right before a vacation, wedding, or special event to book your wax, that approach can actually work against your long-term results. If you’ve ever stretched your appointments as long as possible or only waxed for special occasions, you may have noticed that your results aren’t as smooth or long-lasting.
Hair doesn’t all grow at the same time. Instead, each follicle moves through different phases of growth independently. When you wax on a consistent schedule, those cycles gradually become more synchronized, allowing your waxing specialist to remove more hair during its active growth phase. This leads to smoother skin and more even, longer-lasting results.
When you wait too long between appointments, those growth cycles become less synchronized. As a result, some hairs are ready to be removed while others are just beginning to grow, often leading to patchier results and making it feel like your hair grows back more quickly. Staying on a regular schedule helps you get the most out of every appointment while maintaining the smooth results you’re looking for.
Make Your Wax Part Of Your Summer Schedule
We understand that summer gets busy, but staying consistent is what helps you achieve the best long-term results. If you know you’re going to be traveling, schedule your next appointment a few days before your trip. Out of town when you would normally book? It’s not ideal, but try booking slightly earlier rather than waiting several extra weeks after you return. Waiting too long will lead to more pain, breakage, and pulling, in addition to your hair growth cycle becoming out of synchronization.
Self-care often gets pushed to the side when schedules get busy, but it shouldn’t be something you only do when it’s convenient. Add your wax to your calendar, set reminders, and plan ahead. The more routine your appointments become, the easier it will be to stay consistent and on schedule.
Enjoy Summer!
One of the best parts of staying consistent with your waxing routine is spending less time thinking about hair and more time enjoying the summer. Instead of scrambling to book an appointment last minute or reaching for the razor, you can head to your summer plans, hair-free, and enjoy your summer knowing your routine is already taken care of. We’re here to help you stay on track and smooth all summer long!
