Waxing on individuals who use products that contain Retin-A, Retinol, Glycolic acid, or Alpha/beta hydroxyl acids - in some cases waxing cannot be performed since these creams increase sensitivity and could result in skin removal and tearing on waxed areas. Waxing while using these products must be discussed with esthetician prior to service.

Clients using or who have used Accutane in the last 12 months ARE NOT suitable for waxing on ANY part of the body.

Sugar Cookie Wax will require a doctor’s release before any hair removal service is performed for these clients. Anything between 6-12 months will be up to esthetician discretion based on individual circumstances. If skin at any point of service appears to be compromised, service will end.

We cannot wax skin that has been exposed to UV light therapy, tanning beds/sun exposure in the last 24 hours or sunburnt skin.
