What to Expect During Your First Waxing Appointment – A Step-by-Step Guide
If you’re new to waxing, it’s completely normal to feel a little nervous before your first appointment. At Novum, we want you to feel comfortable and confident, so here’s a step-by-step guide on what to expect during your visit.
-
When you arrive, your therapist will discuss your waxing treatment, any concerns you may have, and any relevant medical history (such as allergies, medications, or skin conditions) to ensure your skin is suitable for waxing.
You’ll be given privacy to prepare for your treatment.
For intimate waxing, we’ll explain positioning and comfort tips to make the process as easy as possible.
If you have any questions, we’re always happy to answer them!
-
Before applying the wax, your therapist will:
Cleanse the area to remove oils, lotions, or sweat.
Apply a light layer of pre-wax oil or powder to protect your skin and help the wax adhere to the hair (not the skin).
-
Now for the main part! Depending on the area being treated, your therapist will use either strip wax (soft wax) or hot wax (hard wax):
Hot Wax (Hard Wax) – Best for sensitive areas like the face, underarms, and intimate areas. This wax sets on the skin and is removed without a strip, making it gentler on delicate skin.
Strip Wax (Soft Wax) – Ideal for larger areas like legs and arms, and great for precision brow waxing. A thin layer of wax is applied, and a strip is used to remove it.
How It Feels:
You may feel a quick, sharp sensation as the wax is removed, but it only lasts a second.
Many clients say waxing gets easier and less painful over time as the hair becomes finer.
-
Once your waxing is complete, your therapist will:
Apply a soothing aftercare product to calm the skin and reduce redness.
Give you aftercare advice to prevent irritation and ingrown hairs.
Explain when to book your next appointment to maintain smooth results.
-
Smooth, Hair-Free Skin: You’ll enjoy up to 4 weeks of silky-smooth skin!
Regrowth: Over time, hair will grow back finer, softer, and less dense with consistent waxing.
Top Tips for a Great First Waxing Experience
Follow the Pre-Wax & Aftercare Guidelines. This will help minimise discomfort and irritation.
Stay Consistent – The more you wax, the easier it gets!
Relax – Our therapists are highly trained and will guide you through every step.
Your first waxing appointment is the start of smoother, longer-lasting results. If you’re ready to ditch shaving and enjoy weeks of hair-free skin, book your appointment at Novum today!

FAQs ✦
-
For the best results, hair should be at least ½ cm (around the length of a grain of rice). This ensures the wax can grip the hair properly for a smooth removal. If hair is too short, the wax may not pick it up effectively.
-
We recommend every 4-6 weeks to maintain smooth results and prevent regrowth from becoming too thick. With consistent waxing, hair grows back finer and sparser over time.
-
There is some discomfort, especially for first-time waxers, but this reduces over time with regular treatments. The more frequently you wax, the less painful it becomes, as the hair weakens and grows back finer. We also use Perron Rigot premium wax products, designed to sooth the pain from hair removal, creating a more comfortable waxing experience.
-
Yes! Waxing is suitable for sensitive skin, especially when done professionally. We use high-quality waxes that are designed to be gentle while effectively removing hair. If you have concerns, let your therapist know—we can tailor treatments to your skin type.
-
Bikini Wax – Removes hair from the sides and top outside of the bikini line.

Yes, waxing during pregnancy is completely safe, though your skin may be more sensitive due to hormonal changes. Our therapists are trained to ensure comfort and safety during treatment.
-
It’s best to avoid shaving between waxes. Shaving disrupts the hair growth cycle, making your next wax less effective and possibly more uncomfortable. Instead, let your hair grow to the ideal length for your next session.
-
No! Unlike shaving, which creates a blunt hair tip, waxing removes hair from the root. Over time, hair grows back finer, softer, and in some cases, sparser.
-
Exfoliating your skin 2-3 times per week and moisturising regularly helps keep pores clear and reduces the risk of ingrown hairs. We also have at home aftercare products that we can recommend for you. See our aftercare section below for more tips!
-
When done by a professional, waxing is gentle and safe for the skin. In fact, waxing exfoliates the skin, removing dead cells and leaving it softer and smoother. Any redness or sensitivity usually fades within a few hours.
Your Waxing Aftercare Advice
To keep your skin smooth, healthy, and irritation-free after waxing, follow these essential aftercare steps:
In the First 24–48 Hours:
Wear loose clothing, apply aloe vera, and use post-wax products as advised.
Don’t use heat, harsh skincare, sun exposure, or tight clothing post-wax.
Avoid hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, sunbeds, and swimming.
Skip intense workouts and tight clothing to prevent irritation.
Don’t apply deodorants, powders, perfumed lotions, or harsh products.
Avoid touching or scratching the area with unwashed hands.
Use only gentle, soothing products like aloe vera or tea tree-based lotions.
Redness, slight swelling or sensitivity are normal, especially after your first wax. These usually subside within a day. Contact us if symptoms persist beyond 48 hours.
Ongoing Aftercare (from Day 3):
Gently exfoliate 2–3 times a week to prevent ingrown hairs. Try: Perron Rigot Double Scrub or Intimate Micro-Peeling Foam.
Moisturise daily with a light, non-comedogenic lotion. We recommend: Perron Rigot Hair Minimising Body Lotion.
Avoid shaving between appointments to improve waxing results over time.
Use targeted ingrown hair solutions like Perron Rigot Ingrown Hair Serum if needed.
Stick to a regular waxing schedule (every 4–6 weeks) for softer, slower regrowth.
With consistent waxing and proper aftercare, you’ll enjoy longer-lasting, smoother results.
