Avoid caffeine and alcohol beforehand as they can make the skin more sensitive. Do not shave at least two weeks prior; hair needs to be about a quarter of an inch long. Exfoliate gently 24 hours before to remove dead skin cells but avoid doing it on the day of the appointment. Don't use lotions or oils on the day as they can make waxing less effective.
