Waxing Aftercare Instructions to Give Every Client
Simple waxing aftercare instructions for the first 24 to 48 hours and beyond, to prevent bumps and ingrown hairs, plus ready-made printable waxing forms.
Why written aftercare matters
Most bumps, breakouts and ingrown hairs after waxing come from what happens in the next two days, not the service itself. Handing every client the same written aftercare sets expectations, cuts down on worried messages and gives you a record that they were told.
