If you had a basic facial involving a cleanse, steam, exfoliation, and mask, it is still safe to get a wax service. However, if you had a specialty facial that included deeper exfoliation treatments such as AHA or BHA peels, microdermabrasion, or other intensive procedures, it is recommended to wait at least 7 days before getting a wax service. Before waxing after a medical-grade facial treatment, always consult with your doctor to ensure it is safe to do so.
For the safety of your skin and to avoid any risk of sunburn, it is recommended that you wait for a minimum of 24-48 hours between a waxing and tanning session. Waxing removes dead surface cells, which may lead to an increase in sensitivity to the sun. In the event that you plan to be in the sun within 48 hours of waxing, it is advisable to apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher for extra protection.
At our facility, we prioritize your safety and well-being. As such, we do not provide waxing services for skin that is sunburned, irritated, or unhealthy. However, once your skin has healed, we would be pleased to book your next waxing appointment.
We prioritize your well-being and suggest consulting with your doctor if you have any concerns. If you are using prescribed creams, such as Retin-A or Differin, please refrain from using them for 7 days before and after your wax reservation. It’s important to note that we cannot provide waxing services if you are taking Accutane, as it can be hazardous. Please inform our representative of any medications you are taking to ensure a safe waxing experience.
Policy FAQs
At American Wax Center, we are happy to accommodate walk-ins, but to avoid potential wait times and ensure prompt service, we suggest making a reservation. Reserving a spot guarantees that you will be taken care of on time. While we welcome walk-ins, availability may be limited depending on the number of reservations for that day. To secure your preferred time slot and have a smooth experience, we highly recommend making a reservation.
To ensure that our service runs seamlessly and efficiently for all our guests, we have a courtesy call system in place for missed reservations. If you miss your first reservation, we will give you a courtesy call. In case of a second missed reservation, we will inform you about our No Show Policy.
Our No Show Policy states that guests with three or more no-shows within a 6-month period may no longer be able to book reservations over the phone. Instead, they would need to book reservations directly at the store as “walk-in only” guests when they are ready to be serviced.
