If you have herpes (either oral or genital) or genital warts, it is important to be cautious when considering waxing, as the procedure can sometimes cause irritation, and herpes can be triggered or spread by certain actions. Here are some points to consider: Active Outbreak: If you have an active herpes outbreak (blisters, sores), it is best to avoid waxing. Waxing can irritate the skin, potentially causing the virus to spread, especially in sensitive areas like the genital region. It's a good idea to wait until the outbreak heals completely before getting waxed. Contact with Broken Skin: Waxing involves pulling the hair out from the root, which can lead to small openings or breaks in the skin. This can make it easier for the herpes virus to spread if there are sores in the area being treated. Increased Sensitivity: The waxing process itself can cause skin sensitivity and irritation, which might trigger an outbreak in someone who has the herpes virus but no current symptoms. Communication with Your Esthetician: If you are considering waxing, be sure to inform your esthetician about your condition. A professional can offer guidance or recommend alternatives such as sugaring, threading, or shaving, which might be gentler on the skin in such cases.

For optimal results, many people get waxed every 4-6 weeks, as this allows the hair to grow back at a uniform length and reduces discomfort.

It's important to consult with a doctor if you have any skin conditions before waxing. If you are unable to wax the area, we may be able to recommend other options. Feel free to text us at anytime.

We like to tell everyone to avoid anything that can cause heat or friction for a minimum of 24 hours, but 48 is even better! We also advise against the use of acids or any exfoliating products for that time. Examples would include: 🏵 Cardio 🏵 Wearing tight clothing (especially spandex or lace) 🏵 Sexual intercourse (yes, oral is included) 🏵 Hot tubs/ pools/ saunas 🏵 Differin or any acid containing products ~ essentially, avoid any contact of anything with that area that was waxed for at least a day! As far as aftercare products go, we will want you to (lightly, unless specified by your provider) exfoliate & hydrate the area daily. We strongly recommend Bushbalm products as they are curated specifically for waxing aftercare and provide the best results we have personally seen. Nude oil is a great beginner oil for those to use. It is unscented and extremely hydrating with antibacterial properties.

1. Grow out your hair! It’s best if your hair has grown out to a ¼ of an inch to ensure proper removal. That means no shaving in between your bikini or Brazilian wax reservations! 2. Arriving at your reservation clean is a must. Showering with warm water and exfoliating with a mitt or dry brush in the area beforehand will ensure you get the best results. 3. Loose-fitting clothing and cotton underwear will be your best friends after a Brazilian or bikini wax. They’re the most comfortable and allow your skin to breathe immediately after your wax. Please do not wear any spandex or lace to your appointments. Additional information: Feel free to take an ibuprofen 30 minutes prior to your appointment. There are two bathrooms at the salon that you are able to freshen up in before your appointment if you feel the need to :)

Of course! It doesn't bother us at all. Many clients get waxed during that time of the month. Tampons or cups are preferred during the service. Late cancellation fees do apply since this is a completely normal part of life and we are able to still perform the service in it's entirety.

Brazilian waxing involves removing hair from the pubic area, typically leaving only a small strip of hair or removing all of it, including the hair around the front, back (including the anus), and sides.

Your hair should be 1/2 to a 1/4 inch long, or 3-4 weeks (sometimes 2 weeks works enough, too!) of outgrowth after your last shave. We know it's hard, but we promise you won’t regret it. If you come in too soon, we can’t wax you. A good rule of thumb to remember is if you can EASILY pinch the hair, you’re ready!

Pain tolerance varies by person, but Brazilian waxing can be uncomfortable, especially for those new to waxing. The pain comes from the removal of hair from sensitive areas.

Yay! We're so excited you want to try out something new! First, you will need to book an extension consultation via our booking site - www.vagaro.com/thenakedpineapple :) Our stylist will determine how many rows of hair, the color, and the length appropriate for your hair goals! 🏵
