Prep before your appointment

  • If you are feeling ill, you are required to reschedule. We’re sorry for the inconvenience this may cause, but we have to ensure the safety of not only ourselves, but our families, other clients, and other providers in Sola Salons.

  • Your hair for most services needs to be longer than a grain of jasmine rice (we know some of you would wonder what kind).

  • For most people, two weeks of growth is plenty long.

  • Make sure you’re hydrated!

  • Exfoliate the day before your appointment; if you don’t have one just make sure you’re clean, hydrated, and ready to learn!

  • For brazilian clients, if you are on your menstrual cycle you can still get waxed! All we ask is you wear a tampon or cup for the duration of the appointment. No, we don’t think it is weird and yes, it happens all the time. You will be more sensitive during this time so please (really can’t stress this enough) be hydrated!

Check-in process

  • To check in, please text 253.202.8484 to let us know you have arrived! Liv will text back when she ready to meet you at the doors. Please do not come in with another client; you can wait in your car until she is ready for you if you’d like!

  • There are two entrances; we will meet you to the one next to Curves.

During your appointment

  • Talk to Liv if you have any questions; temp, pulling, ingrowns, aftercare, anything!

  • We will try and explain hair growth cycles, follicles sizes, and other things waxing but sometimes we will just chit chat to keep you distracted until the hard stuff is over. Then we can go over all that fun stuff!

  • Liv moves as quickly as possible, also known as speed waxing. It really does help with the overall experience!

After your appointment

  • Redness, histamine bumps, and swelling are totally normal. You are more than welcome to shower the same day you get waxed, but don’t use super hot water. Trust, you won’t want to. Exfoliated skin can be very sensitive.

  • No excessive sweating, swimming, or submerging for 24 hours after waxing of any kind.

  • Brazilian wax rules: no sex, no gym, no pools, no hot tubs, no submerging for at least 24 hours.

  • Exfoliate at least three times a week. This is vital to prevent ingrowns and future issues.

  • If you have any questions or concerns after a service, the business line is always on and we will get back to you asap.
