Waxing for hair removal, particularly on the face carries risks. These risks may include redness, bruising and lifting of the skin. These conditions may be exacerbated using certain pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, particularly those for anti-aging and anti-acne treatments. Examples of these are retinoid, Retin-A, Renova, accutane, and alpha hydroxyl acids (AHA’s) like glycolic acid. Face waxing should be avoided when using these products.
*Wait 2-weeks after having botox before any facial waxing.
Certain prescription medications may aggravate the skin when waxed, particularly those causing photo-sensitivity (sensitive to sunlight). Examples of these are many antibiotics, such as tetracycline, and blood thinners such as Warfarin, which may cause an individual to bruise easily.
Clients who are receiving aesthetic and dermatological peeling treatments may also experience redness and skin lifting from waxing and therefore should avoid waxing while undergoing such treatments.
The use of tanning booths can also contraindicate waxing. Waxing should not be done 24 hours before or after tanning. It should also not be done on an area that still shows erythema (redness) from tanning.
Because the fields of pharmacology and dermatology are continually changing and expanding, there may be products and drugs that cause negative reactions to waxing that have yet to be documented.
I have read the information on this form and fully understand the information presented to me.
I use none of the products known to cause a negative reaction with waxing.
I am receiving no skin treatments known to cause a negative reaction to waxing.
I understand that waxing may involve certain minor risks (e.g. redness, sensitive reaction, bruising, and lifting of the skin), and I fully accept all responsibility associated with these risks.
Clients who receive a brow lamination and/or tint should also review the facial waxing terms. A Brow Wax is included in both lamination and tint.
Clients should be prepared to notify their artist of the following at the time of their appointment:
Past or known allergies or sensitivities
Over the counter and/or prescription skincare products used
Any skin conditions
If pregnant

Your appointments and convenience are of high importance to us. We realize that at times unexpected circumstances may require schedule adjustments. If you need to cancel an appointment, we respectfully require that you provide at least 24-hour notice.
A cancellation/no show or request to reschedule made less than 24-hours in advance will invoke a cancellation fee. The amount charged will be equal to 100% of the booked services.
Should you arrive more than 7 minutes late for your appointment, we cannot guarantee that we will provide the service. If we cannot accommodate you, the same cancellation fee will be charged.
A credit card is required to make an appointment. Cancellation fees will be charged to the card you provide.
We ask you to realize that when you forget your appointment or fail to cancel with enough notice in advance, we miss out on an opportunity to fill that time slot, and other clients miss the chance to receive our services.
