Why Professional Waxing is Better Than DIY Waxing

Waxing is a popular hair removal procedure with many advantages. 

Wax is more natural than some hair removal creams and is less expensive than laser hair removal treatment. Also, waxing presents longer-lasting results in comparison to shaving.

While you can wax at home with a waxing kit, we recommend treating yourself by allowing professionals to handle the procedure and, the hot wax!

This article highlights the advantages of getting a professional wax vs. DIY at-home waxing. If you’re contemplating one or the other, this overall read should help you make an informed decision.

It Gives You Longer-Lasting Results

While the DIY waxing process may seem the same as you’d receive at a salon, they are very different. When you are waxing at home, you may not be able to remove all the hair, leaving tiny bits on your skin and not achieving the shape and look you’re going for.

When this happens, you may be tempted to try a second time and target those hairs left behind, but that is not at all healthy for your skin. A professional esthetician will be able to target every hair and get rid of them all in one fell swoop, which will avoid having to wax the same area more than once.

Professional results will last longer since every hair has been removed and, it will take some time for those hairs to grow back.

It Is Less Painful

Let’s face it; waxing isn’t fun. It can be somewhat painful.

There are tips and tricks estheticians know and use to make the waxing process a less painful one. They will ensure the target hairs are not too long, or too short, for maximum results with a minimal sting.

Another thing; wax can burn your skin. Some people, who opt to wax at home, will let the wax get too hot. When this happens, once applied to the skin, it can burn and cause injury.

A professional will not let this happen. The wax temperature is monitored and tested before use.

You Don’t Need to Worry About Set-Up & Clean-Up

Something you may not even think about before you begin waxing; the set-up and clean-up. Both can be very messy and, obviously, very sticky. Trying to clean up after a DIY wax can be a real pain.

Think about how good it would feel to walk into a salon where everything is all set, ready, and waiting. And then, once done, all you have to do is walk out. No muss, no fuss. 

That is one of the perks of professional waxing you cannot overlook. 

Salons are a place to relax and be pampered; enjoy it.

Estheticians Have the Ability to Treat Hard-to-Reach Areas

You may feel good and ready to start waxing at home until you notice hairs in those hard-to-reach places. 

Estheticians have the experience and skill required to remove the hairs from those places. The result? Smooth skin. 

Professional Estheticians Provide More Expertise

Estheticians know best, from preparing the wax to the procedure to aftercare and instructions. 

It is best to see an esthetician for sensitive or highly-visible areas, like your eyebrows.

Eyebrow waxing should get done carefully and with precision. A mistake can be hard to fix.

While a DIY waxing kit may be cheaper, it does not include the high-quality products used in salons. At Balsam Day Spa, we stock and use quality products to provide you the experience you’re looking for; the best.
