How should I prepare for my Bare waxing appointment?

In the days before your Bare waxing appointment, you will need to refrain from shaving to allow your hair to grow out.

When you are inside the 24-hour window of your appointment, you will need to exfoliate the area being waxed. This can be done with body polish or an exfoliating mitt.

Are there any special after-care instructions for the waxed areas?
