Brows, before and after
How a wax appointment goes
Consult
A quick check of the area, your skin and anything that could make it sensitive.
Cleanse and prep
Skin is cleansed and protected with a light pre-wax oil.
Wax
Hard wax for the face and sensitive areas, soft wax for larger areas, removed quickly in the direction that is kindest to skin.
Tidy up
Strays are tweezed, and brows are trimmed and checked for symmetry.
Soothe
A calming serum cools the skin and helps prevent bumps.
Results
Smooth skin for three to four weeks. With regular waxing, hair grows back finer and visits get quicker.
Before you come
Let hair grow to about a quarter inch. Skip lotion and self-tanner on the day. Pause retinoids on the face for 5 days.
Afterward
For 24 hours, avoid sun, sweat, hot water and makeup on the waxed area. Exfoliate gently after three days.

Waxing FAQ
How much is a brow wax in San Luis Obispo?
A brow wax at Sol Skin SLO is $30. Upper lip and chin are $15 each, and a full face wax is $45.
How long does waxing last?
Three to four weeks for most people. Regular waxing makes regrowth finer and slower.
Hard wax or soft wax?
Both. Hard wax is used on the face, underarms and bikini area because it is gentler. Soft wax is used on larger areas such as legs and arms.
Can I wax if I use retinol?
Stop retinol on the area for 5 days first. If you use prescription retinoids or have taken isotretinoin in the last six months, check with Megan before booking a face wax.
