PRE & POST TREATMENT INFO
Waxing
​
Perron Rigot is a premium French brand of both strip and hot (non-strip) waxes used by beauticians all over the world.
If you’re a first-time or occasional waxer you will likely notice some new hair growth within 2-3 weeks due to the naturally staggered hair growth cycle. Regular waxing will leave the area hair free for 3 – 6 weeks. Over time the density of hair in the waxed area may start to decrease as well.
​
Before your wax:
​
-
If you are worried about the pain, you can take 1 or 2 paracetamol about 30-40 minutes before your wax.
-
Make sure your hair is at least 0.5 centimetres. If you’ve shaved the area within the last few weeks it might take a couple of waxes to get your hair into a cycle of growth that allows for the most effective waxing.
-
Exfoliate the night or morning before your wax
​
For 24 - 48 hours after your wax, do not:
​
-
Have a hot shower/bath
-
Exfoliate
-
Go in the sun or use a sun bed
-
Use a sauna/jacuzzi/steam room
-
Go swimming
-
Exercise
-
Apply deodorant, perfumed products, fake tan or make-up to the waxed area
-
Wear tight fitting clothes
-
Have sex if you have had a bikini wax/Brazilian/Hollywood
You may have temporary redness, small bumps, sensitive skin or a little tightness after your wax however this should start to subside after 24-48 hours. Use aloe vera gel to soothe & cool your skin.
​
After 48 hours, gently exfoliate your skin at least 2-3 times a week & moisturise regularly.
​
​
SNS/manicure
​
After your SNS/manicure:
​
-
Wear protective gloves when gardening, doing housework or DIY
-
Use hand cream daily
-
Use cuticle oil daily (why not treat yourself to my handmade, natural cuticle oil which contains a blend of oils, including jojoba, lemon and frankincense, which are known for strengthening and moisturising nails
-
Avoid harsh and drying soaps
-
Do not pick off SNS or polish, as this will remove the upper layer of your natural nails and may cause damage
​
​
Pedicure
​
After your pedicure:
​
-
Apply moisturiser daily to your feet
-
Use cuticle oil daily. Why not treat yourself to my handmade, natural cuticle oil which contains a blend of oils, including jojoba, lemon and frankincense, which are known for strengthening and moisturising nails

Foot sprays containing peppermint or citrus oil help refresh your feet during the day
​
Spray Tanning
​
The VIP Collection is your perfect tanning solution for natural & healthy-looking bronzed skin. Depending on your skin type, your skin care and bathing routine, your spray tan should last 7 to 10 days.
​
Before your spray tan:
​
-
Exfoliate the day before and morning of your tan, paying attention to any drier areas of your body
-
Moisturise the day before but not the day of your tan
-
Shave or wax at least 24 hours before your tan
-
Do not wear any deodorant, make-up, perfumes or moisturiser before your tan. If you have these on when you arrive for your tan I have wipes to remove them
-
Wear or bring loose-fitting, dark clothes and flip flops
-
Don’t wear your best undies as they might get stained
​
Leave your tan on for at least 8 hours before you shower or bath. When you shower or bath you are likely to see some colour wash off but don't worry, you will be left with a gorgeous tan.
As the tan is developing I recommend that you do not:
​
-
Sit on light fabric for 2-3 hours
-
Wash your hands for at least 4 hours, if possible
-
Wear tight clothing before your post-tan shower
-
Shave/wax for at least 12 hours
-
Apply moisturisers or deodorants before your post-tan shower
-
Exercise or swim or use a sauna/jacuzzi/steam room before your post-tan shower
​
Tan maintenance:
​
-
Do not rub your skin when drying after a shower/bath, pat dry
-
Do not use a scrunchy/cloth/flannel when showering/bathing
-
Moisturise daily
-
Avoid long, hot baths/showers
-
Exfoliate your skin on day 3 or 4 to ensure your tan fades evenly and to maintain your tan
Please remember to use sun protection if you go in the sun as spray tan does not contain sun protection.
