Soul Ease

Welcome to Soul Ease a personal spa experience in Boise, Idaho, where your comfort, skin health, and confidence are our top priorities. Here’s everything you need to know before and after your waxing service.

​

Is waxing painful?
Most clients find waxing to be a quick and tolerable experience. You may feel a brief sting as the hair is removed, but it fades quickly. We use high-quality Cirepil hard and soft waxes and expert techniques to ensure your comfort throughout your treatment.

​

What kind of wax do you use?
We use Cirepil professional wax, both hard wax (gentle for sensitive areas) and soft strip wax (ideal for larger body areas), selected to suit your skin type and the area being waxed.

​

How long should my hair be before waxing?
For optimal results, your hair should be at least 1/4 inch long (about the length of a grain of rice), which typically means 2–6 weeks of growth. Avoid shaving between appointments, as it disrupts the hair growth cycle.

​

How should I prepare for my waxing appointment?

• Avoid sunbathing or tanning minimum of 72 hours before your appointment

• Refrain from physical exertion, hot showers, saunas, swimming, or hot tubs beforehand

• Do not apply lotions, oils, or self-tanners to the area on the day of your appointment

• Wear loose, breathable clothing to minimize irritation afterward

• Gently exfoliate the area 1–2 days before to help lift trapped hairs

• For bikini waxing, avoid wearing panties to bed afterward for best results

 

How should I care for my skin after my waxing appointment?

• To help prevent ingrown hairs, gently exfoliate once a week

• Moisturize daily

• Don't pick at any ingrown hairs

• Wear loose breathable clothing to minimize irritation afterward

• Don't wear an underwear after intimate area waxing

• Refrain from physical exertion, hot showers, saunas, swimming, or hot tubs afterward

• Avoid sunbathing or tanning beds afterward 

 

What should I avoid after my waxing appointment?
For the next 24–72 hours, we recommend avoiding:

• Sun exposure and tanning beds

• Physical activities that cause sweating

• Hot showers, steam rooms, saunas, or soaking in water

• Tight or friction-causing clothing

• Scented lotions, exfoliants, or irritating skincare products

 

Can I get waxed while on my period?
While Yes, you can be waxed in certain areas. Just be aware that your skin may be more sensitive during this time. We recommend you wait until after you are 1 week after your period for any bikini waxing.

​

Are there any health or skincare products that affect waxing?
Yes. We do not want to perform waxing on clients who:

• Are currently taking Accutane (must be off it for 12 months)

• Have used prescription antibiotics or acne medications within the last 4 weeks

• Are currently using Retin-A, Retinol and retinol derivatives, AHAs, BHAs, or exfoliating products—please stop using them at least 72 hours, preferably 1 week, prior to waxing

*Always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you’re unsure whether your medication or skincare products may cause sensitivity.

​

How long will my waxing results last?
You’ll should enjoy smooth, hair-free skin for about 3 to 5 weeks, depending on your natural hair growth cycle. Regular waxing helps reduce regrowth and makes the hair finer and more sparse over time.

​

How often should I get waxed?
For best results, we recommend booking waxing appointments every 4 to 6 weeks. Staying on a regular schedule helps you maintain smooth skin and can make future waxing easier and less sensitive.

​

Is waxing hair removal permanent?

No. Waxing is a temporary removal of hair by pulling hair out from the root. Ideally with regular waxing appointments your hair can growth become slower and the hair become weaker and less thick.
