Pre-Holiday Waxing Tips: Get Smooth, Stay Smooth with Glam Waxing in Fulham
Getting ready for your upcoming holiday? Whether you're jetting off to sunnier climates or planning a weekend retreat, preparing your skin with the right waxing routine can make all the difference. At Glam Waxing, the go-to waxing salon in Fulham, we know just how to help you achieve flawless, long-lasting results before your trip.
Here's our expert guide on how to plan and prep for your holiday wax like a pro.
Why Book Your Holiday Wax at Glam Waxing in Fulham?
Holiday preparation is all about timing, technique, and trust. At Glam Waxing, our professional waxing services in Fulham offer:
Experienced therapists trained in advanced Hollywood and Lycon hot waxing.
Premium wax brands for gentle, effective hair removal.
Flexible appointment slots, even during peak holiday season.
1. Book Your Wax at Least 2-3 Days Before Your Flight
Timing is key. We recommend scheduling your waxing appointment two to three days before you travel. This allows any redness or sensitivity to calm down before you're exposed to sun, chlorine, or saltwater – all of which can irritate freshly waxed skin.
Bonus tip: Avoid waxing on the same day as your flight to give your skin time to recover and breathe.
2. Choose the Right Waxing Treatment for Your Destination
Whether you’re heading to the beach or hitting the pool, these are our most popular holiday waxing options:
Hollywood Wax: Go completely bare with smooth results that last 3–6 weeks.
Brazilian Wax: Keep a little hair with a neat triangle or strip.
Full Leg Wax: A summer staple for dresses, shorts, and swimsuits.
Underarm Wax: For easy sleeveless looks and freshness on the go.
Want extra luxury? Try our Lycon Hot Wax treatments for intimate areas – the low-temperature formula is ideal for sensitive skin.
3. Exfoliate Before, But Not Right After
Gently exfoliate the area 24 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin and lift any ingrown hairs. This helps the wax grip more effectively and delivers cleaner results.
However, don’t exfoliate immediately after waxing – your skin needs time to settle. Wait at least 48 hours post-treatment before scrubbing or using exfoliants.
4. Skip the Moisturiser on Waxing Day
While moisturising is great for everyday skincare, skip lotions or oils on the day of your wax. These can create a barrier on your skin, making it harder for the wax to adhere properly.
After your session, our therapists will apply soothing post-wax products to calm the area and reduce irritation.
5. Wear Loose, Breathable Clothing
After your wax, your skin will be more sensitive. Opt for loose-fitting clothes and breathable fabrics to avoid friction and help your skin recover faster. Cotton underwear and flowy dresses are your best bet.
6. Avoid Sunbathing & Swimming Right After
We get it – the sun and sea are calling! But give your skin at least 24 to 48 hours before diving into the pool or sunbathing. Freshly waxed skin is more prone to sunburn and irritation, so use SPF and stay shaded while your skin heals.
7. Don’t Forget Aftercare
To keep your skin looking and feeling great throughout your holiday:
Moisturise daily after the first 48 hours.
Use an ingrown hair serum (available at our Fulham salon).
Book your next appointment before you go – regular waxing leads to softer, sparser regrowth over time.
